I have a disfellowshipped person in my household and it's the same. Even the eleders only refers to him as "the chap". It's incredible, even when they send regards to the family they mention everyone in the house except him, in order to make clear that the regards weren't to the disfellowshipped.

Land of the living dead
by hoser inone of my children got disfellowshipped recently.
i was worried about that some of my jw friends and jw relatives would mention it to me and it would make for awkward conversation as i am glad that he is out.
i went to a jw family gathering.

Morris and Lett are making me belive that somone else but the GB is running the Watchtower Corp. These clowns certainly need help tying their shoe laces in the morning.
Meet Don Adams.
ps> From the GB I see Geoffrey Jackson as the most articulated and appearing to be intelligent.

Another thought about WT 607 bull.
by Crazyguy inthe babylonian empire didn't start until assyria was finally defeated in 612 bc.
then as we know babylon supposedly destroyed jerusalem in 607 according to wt.
before jerusalem was destroyed babylon had taken jerusalem and taken prisoners including the king and deported them to babylon and then according to ezekiel at 33:21 twelve years into their captivity a man from jerusalem came and told him the city had been destroyed.. ok so how does jerusalem get conquered 12 years before 607 when the babylonians hadn't even become the major power yet??

That was one of the things I told my mother that definetely bothered her about the Org. She passed days asking me more information from the internet. She got to the conclusion herself that the only articles that defends WT position is the WT's. After the initial thrill, she came back to the routine and forced herself to forget it probably.

Imagine if Jw ran schools ?
by Chook inafter learning the alphabet no other education required.
history would be distorted, science rejected.
i'm surprised that gb didn't realise there is big money in education, big tony could be the professor of bullshit..

Actually they would teach kids how to read and do maths.
Science, ok but Skip evolution
Languages, ok but Skip hebraic and greek
History, ok, but Skip history of the religions on 19 and 20 centuries.
The rest of the time schedule would be mandatory technical courses on jobs based in handworking.
Each class, one would be sorted out to take Law school in order to have lawyers to defend them.
Each class one would be sorted out to take Med school to advocate pro Blood ban.
Each class three would be sorted to take Engineering in order to build their 'Cathedrals' - Bethel branches.
Everybody would have to take sales course.

For the last few years I have been relearning my math and physics to help my children.
That's the best one can do. Learning what makes us feel good. And I'm sure your kids are making you proud with their develop.

When I was around 15 years old, during the family study, after we read the article that changed the meaning of TFDS from all 144000 to the GB (something that I had anticipated since I was 13, but had kept to me as apostate thinking) I said to my parents:
"If brother Russel was ressurected today he surely wouldn't recognize the movement he started today"
Well, to my surprise, now I say:
I don't recognize the religion I was born in.

The October 2017 WT study article (simplified)
First of all this simplified version was a good idea until they decided there would be only the simplified version. The articles, which were becoming even more empty of logic, sentiment and reasoning with the years had a drastic fall with this change. The reasons seem to be clearly because they need people of this level of intelectual demand and reasoning to keep the religion. These poor articles don't attract the attention of well educated people at all and this way the criticism will be fewer. (actually this is a great enterpenour move. Not so good from the 'God's channell). The other reason may be that they are lacking good writers as they had back in 60s 70s (people that I only know by name because of RF book) and the current writers have no skills or the GB just got lazier.
Jehovah might stop blessing the congregation with his holy spirit, and the congregation would not have peace.
It's interesting that this has created such a paranoic enviromental among the JWs here. Every time something goes bad (low assistance to the meetings, low rate of biblic studies or hours in the field, plenty of fights among brothers or sisters) they start to think "who is the motherf*cker who is sinning this time?". Ironically they have this idea even if the problem is sucessive disfellowshippings, something that according to them should please God since they are "cleanning the congregation".

I'm hating myself for being bothered for something that isn't against my principles. But the reason that I and others are this is mainly because we were told this was unthinkable 10 years ago.
Also, because my tiny hope that the GB would change something about the protecionism is shrinking as they are even more looking like evengelicals in their procedures, but the important things they should copy they don't even look at ( disfellowshipping, only true religion, two classes of christians etc.)
There's something interesting about this issue on the songs that is similar to what happened here in Brazil. Here all the evangelicals have the custom of saying "peace of the Lord" to other evangelicals as a greeting. There's obviously nothing wrong in this but just because this was a "mark" of the evangelicals we were severely but indirectly reprimed from doing so.
Well, after that I don't know anymore.
