all shareable, but the real question is:
what does the Bible really say about apostasy? how and where does talk about it?
because for example in the Hebrew Scriptures the original term that the WT translates as "apostate" literally means godless

Jehovah's Witnesses and Apostates
by tfjw injehovah's witnesses basically define the term "apostate" as someone who was once a member of the "organization" (a jehovah's witness) but no longer follows the teachings, rules, regulations and practices.
the society gives their official definition in the following manner: "apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of god, actually a rebellion against jehovah god.
some apostates profess to know and serve god but reject teachings or requirements set out in his word.

@Disillusioned
The WT's September 2022 study article (as shown in the JW website) called ' “Bringing the Many to Righteousness” ' shows the biblical Daniel wearing a beard in the New World paradise Earth and the caption to the illustration says the following. "How thrilling it will be to see Daniel, our loved ones, and many more “stand up” for their lot in the new world! (See paragraph 20)"
on the other hand in the symposium on Sunday morning of the last regional congress they presented Joseph without beard at a table among brothers, in a post-Armageddon environment ... always the usual double standard, the usual WT ambiguity

the absolutely interesting thing is that the vast majority of the brothers look without problems - indeed with a certain reverence - at images, illustrations and video reconstructions of the characters of the past all bearded and also abundantly, only to be scandalized when in their congregation a brother allows himself to grow his beard. Cognitive dissonance?

Will Ukraine win?
by Fisherman ini was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..

Everybody on earth dies cuz Russia wants Ukraine?
Russia does not want Ukraine, Russia does NOT want NATO bases just outside the door just like in 1962 the US did not want Russian missiles in Cuba

I would be very careful, it seems to me a bait: this user Douche has only one active topic and for me it could be a WT mole. Anyone who accesses the link offered leaves traces of his navigation, be careful

"Christian Witnesses of Jah" by Greg Stafford
by Bartolomeo inhow many of you know greg stafford and his youtube channel "christian witnesses of jah"?
.
i really like his style, always calm, respectful of the holy scriptures and firmly based on them to analyze the teachings of the wt from which he disagrees.

@Smiles:
First of all it is not fair that you define my post as "rubbish", it seems to me that this attitude also goes against the rules of the forum.
Apart from this, I am more than happy to answer that I have not lost my faith in Jehovah and in the Bible, on the contrary I want to restart from a Scriptural analysis of the fundamental things.
I certainly believe that there are things to correct in this organization, serious mistakes that have been committed and unfortunately are perpetuated. In this big mess I'm just trying to get my thoughts in order and in this process I consider Greg Stafford to be the only one who is offering an alternative and credible point of analysis.
You are free to believe what you prefer. But me too.
PS: "Ogni scarrafone è bello a mamma sua" It doesn't make much sense in this context, what did you mean?
