  New light on shunning?

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.

  he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .

  what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

  They are slowly deleting all of Tony’s videos

  I have kept a record of videos and have seen no change in the count. Last count was 39 this morning.

  Thank you.

  I see that again WT instructs elders to begin hounding the members about not forgetting the CONvention several months in advance, just like they think their members are a bunch of half-wit children. And of course they are told to subject the members to that god-awful white board cartoon video about CONvention reminders, again treating their members like special needs children. I'm glad I don't run that hamster wheel waste of time anymore!

  Elderly and sick: Out of sight, out of mind

  someone else posted something a similar experience, this is one i had regarding my mom.my mom died last year.

  she had been in failing health for years, but the last 2 year were pretty rough for her, with lots of visits to the hospital.

  the last 4 months, it was the hospital, a skilled nursing facility/rehab unit, and finally, a nursing home.

  Once a member of the hall stops showing up due to serious illness, unless they are part of some huge clan (we are not a huge clan in my family), then they are going to be forgotten.

  I've made a number of references here on this site to the way my parents were treated by JW's in their final years. The JW's are some of the most hypocritical pieces of s--t that exist when they yap about "love". As my father said shortly before he died, "Jehovah's Witnesses have "love" on their lips, but NONE in their hearts!

  Realistically though that happens in all religions. My uncle and aunt, both staunch Southern Baptists, who are 96 and 92 respectively no longer have any members of their church who come by any more. As my uncle said, "They have forgotten us."

  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  Here is an off the wall thought. Maybe ol' Tony died. And instead of the usual "finished his earthly course" announcement WT did it the way they did as a method of jerking exJW's chains? Meanwhile they are sitting in their expensive office chairs laughing their a--es off at all the speculation.
  

  BTW, he has not been scrubbed from their website. As of this morning there are 39 photos of him appearing in videos.

  todays watchtower is very interesting on many levels.

  they know that millions are disappointed.. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=e&prefer=lang&docid=2023681.

  i also found it interesting they talk about brother fred franz and show his picture.

  I subscribe to the motto: Hope in one hand and s--t in the other and see which one needs washed.

  Hope is a lot like sitting in a rocking chair. You can spend a lot of time there, but never get anywhere. You need to get up and MAKE things happen. Hope will NEVER get anything done! For example, go sit in a chair and HOPE that you get noon dinner. Do nothing but HOPE for it, and you will get mighty hungry unless you get up and make your dinner.

  I think I will invite several JW's over for supper. I will serve leftovers from a few months ago that have either been sitting out on the countertop or at the back of the refrigerator turning green. If it's good enough for their "spiritual" food it should be good enough for physical food.

  IMO there are only two reasons WT makes any busybody decision. Legal liability of they do not, and $$$$$.

  Incidents involving threats with an object or a weapon, or physical or verbal assault toward a publisher while engaged in theocratic activity are generally to be considered as hate- or prejudice-motivated crime.

  I noticed this point. In many areas it is legally considered verbal assault to loudly swear at someone in public. I know it is in the area where I live. So now they can whine about persecution even more when an irate person tell them to GFY or to get the Hell off my porch and whimper about how hated they are.

  I can hear it now. . .Lett with many goofy facial contortions saying, "We loooovve how hated and persecuted we are. It proves we are close to the end."

  Yet children being victims of CSA will still be just a "sin"!

  Murder JW Style (True Crime)

  by Tahoe in

  2. scandals

  a home remodeling job in england that went wildly wrong:.

  a builder who bludgeoned his client to death with a hammer in a row over her new extension has been jailed for at least 15 years for murder.. peter norgrove killed sharon gordon at her home on 20 july last year.. her daughter rhian brown said norgrove acted like a "wolf in sheep's clothing" after earning her trust at the church they attended in dudley.. wolverhampton crown court heard he led the jehovah's witness service the same night he killed mrs gordon.. he repeatedly lied to her about the work he was doing, which took 15 months instead of six weeks.. .

  "he didn't have the experience to be doing the work he was doing," miss brown said.. "he took full payment for the extension in advance, which we believe to be more than £30,000.".

  @Biahi I had that happen to me years ago when I contracted with a "brother" to build a new house for me. Contract called for a 60 day completion to qualify for the home loan I had applied for. I lost the lower interest loan. When I sold the place and moved three years later the damned place STILL wasn't complete, and the eldurrs in that congregation threatened me with getting DF'd if I took him to court. He was sued by several non-JW home buyers, and lost every time. He was more crooked than a corkscrew. Looking back I should have sued him to Hell and back, and forgot the hamster wheel then instead of later.
