  by Chook in

  the crime is ,condoning the removal of and shunning of jw children ,who when older want to express freedom of religion and attend another church.

  god created family unit ,gb destroys lives on all levels of family tree.

  can this be the unforgivable sin?.

  after a very quiet couple of hours detecting this afternoon i was chuffed to find this silver coin.. it is a groat of edward iii of england.

  for a long time the only coin available was the silver penny.

  if you wanted to spend half a penny or a quarter you literally cut it up.

  Why start preaching work in 1876? Something to ask JW's who are still in

  by fedup in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we learn from the bible that the characters that preached doomsday messages, such as lot, noah, etc all got to see the result of the message they preached, we studied that the final judgement from god was seen by the preacher as well as the people that heard and ignored the message.

  my point is this, it would have been ridiculous for noah to start preaching to people, put the fear of god in all the listeners that the flood is coming, build the ark and then as a result, nothing happens to them.

  even if the flood would have happened later, let's say 50 years after noah and all the people that heard him have died from natural causes.

  I ask an elder in field service one day that a house holder said we have cried wolf for so many decades how can we be believed. Then I thought even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because they seem right twice a century does mean their clock is working.

  By Way of Announcement, Darlene Jefferson Has Been Disfellowshiped

  by Cold Steel in

  i was watching a jw video where the announcement was made of a young lady's being disfellowshiped, and it happened in a regular kh sunday meeting.

  this struck me as being a bit...cold.

  is this when the shunning begins?

  It's usually announced mid week meeting, yes shunning begins that day, the ones who show up for announcement believe this shows repentance for quicker return. I just can't get my head around how WT headquarters equates this embarrassment to love. WT needs to be sued for non compliance of freedom of religion.

  I think some JW may have pissed old Lewis Edwards off. Stellar performance on his part. Seems an accurate description of cult.

  JW women true value

  by Chook in

  2. scandals

  when they sent out internal letter to elders regarding the binding of elders book , worldly men could do the job but only under supervision of a elder.

  but under no circumstance could a sister touch the book.

  the idiots put it in print, any elders wives on this forum should take it up with their man.

WT has put the value of their dear sisters below a pagan binder.

  Memorial Services

  all jw memorial services i've been to have been similar.

  a couple of sentences about the deceased and then it's all about the religion.

  very impersonal and scripted.

  To hijack a funeral and preach Brooklyn dogma is a unforgivable crime, the poor person who has died is entitled to a decent goodbye.

  original thread here.

  update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".

  all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

  Sanchy, I'm happy for you but I suspect it will only be a postponement . Avoid the zealots at all cost.
