  What argument do Witnesses use to justify shunning DA ones?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i may be late on this, but i was just thinking yesterday about how witnesses justify shunning.

  mainly the scripture in 1 corinthians that says to stop mixing in company with anyone called a brother who engages in various sins.

  therefore if someone was to write a letter stating that they no longer wish to be known as a jehovahs witness, what justification do they use for shunning that person?

  A Witnesses Conscience=A watchtower Library search on that subject.

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a real christian, when deciding on a matter would read scripture, pray, and based on their scriptural understanding make a decicion based on their conscience.

  unfortunately, most witnesses would rather do a search on wtl on the subject and do whaterver the unfaithful and discraceful "slave" says.

  they are exactly like the pharisees with their traditions of men and rulemaking legalism who "make the scriptures invalid" with their going beyond them..

  Fudementalist Genesis Beliefs

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have always, even when mentally in been so amazed at some of the claims of witnesses and others regarding genesis.

  one of these is the thought that before the flood, animals and humans were all vegetarians.

  i remember asking my dad when i was little about why tyranasaurous rex teeth looked so fearsome and sharp if they were vegetarians.

  Plants before insects?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok heres a thought i recently saw, and it floored me!

  its something i amazingly never thought of, it seems to be hiding in plain sight.. as we know most if not all plants need insect pollination to live.

  without ants, bees, flies etc.. pollinating them, they would not reproduce right?

  A terrible Illustrstion

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for a little background, my father served at brooklyn bethel a couple of years after the apostate purge and witchhunt.. he talks about how people said how you could see "jehovahs spirit" working to oust the korah dathan and abiram, hymanaus and alexander influences such a evil ray franz and others.

  they make it seem like he was leaving to start his own religion or something.

  anyways he was talking to a couple who were friends with another couple who went apostate.

  Another Major Flaw in the "NU-LITE"

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking and a new major flaw in the new lite sprang into my mind.

  one of the ways the governing body justified its existence is saying that there was a governing body over 1st century christians based out of jerusalem.

  now i know they dont have any real proof of this, in fact evidence is the opposite of this, but lets say for arguments sake there was a gb in the 1st century.

  My Family Study

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i have posted before i am working to help get my wife out of the jws so we can leave together.

  i have been trying to think of ways to open her mind and get her to think critically and use her mind.

  i dont want to bring lots of facts and reasoning to her attention if her mind is not yet ready for it.

  Hardest most awkward parts of being mentally out but physically in

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am still physically in but am completely out mentally.. i was curious for those who spent some time in the borg while being mentally out or are still in that position, what is the worst, hardest or most awkward parts... for me i intensly dislike attending the meetings however its bearable as i can just let my mind wander, but field service is awful.

  i cannot try to bring someone in to a group that i am trying to plot a way out of.

  so now i try my best to either spend the day driving around to others fruitless rv's (we have somewhat rural territory) or eating out at an extended breakfast or if door to door cannot be avoided, i try to work alone and not ring bells.

  hello all at jwn!

  i have been a lurker here the last few months and have been going through the process of researching both sides of the story of jehovahs witnesses.

  i was raised in the borg, got married and now have a young child.. my wife is very much dedicated to the organization and will justify anything the "slave" does putting it off on the borgs imperfection.
