They can. The official WT-spin is: You break up the familiy while you leave god and the cult. There's a study-WT, I think dated Februar this year, where you can read it. (I cant search the articel at the moment, sorry.)

Advice needed
by Peony incan someone tell me the scriptural basis (according to jw's) for shunning disassociated ones.
only asking because i don't remember (probably wasn't that interested) i'm sure the shunning in the scriptures was just applied to disfellowshipped.
i've only been out 3 years but i seem to have forgotten any scriptures or reasoning!

I mainly fake my hours, but all the dubs very crazy about the videos. More and more buy tablets. And if you spend $$$ then every reaction is great for you. So a lot of them show videos, back to the roots - grammophone 2.0 -

My meeting yesterday
by stephanie61092 inso i just wanted to jot down some thoughts and feelings about my meeting yesterday.... first, the wt, paragraph 16. i couldn't help but laugh to myself at the blatant hypocrisy.
god’s word admonishes us “to live with soundness of mind ... amid this present system of things.” (titus 2:12) having “soundness of mind,” or being sober-minded, should certainly come into play when the explanation of a diagnostic method or therapy seems strange or mysterious.
can the practitioner or the one promoting it explain satisfactorily how it works?

The Watchtower Org will die.
by Freeandclear ini was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?
etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.
i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.

Skedaddle, I also think so, there's a big change ahead. My sugestion is, in september the new temple in Warwick is finished, a new year (witness-years from october to september) starts, most of the kingdomhalls got beamer or screens, most publisher got a tablet and the midweekmeeting nearly finished the book-study. So there'll be a good point for the next "big thing".
And the publisher in the cong more and more bored.

Hi pale. It's also very troubled in germany. A cong nearby gives an unbaptized hell, for having a little, small beard. But in our cong, the MS is a little bit pissed I think, there happening a lot of crazy stuff. So he's not interested, if he had to step down.
But there is and was never a scriptual reason for beeing shaved. If you look like one of ZZ Top or beeing a sister - there's nothing to discuss, it's inapprobiat. But if the beard looks good, trimmed and so - why not?It's not scriptual, so you don't have to follow.
REALLY??? I heard about it, but I never believed it. A spare shirt? How stupid is the elder and how stupid is the speaker to change the shirt? Hey, if somebody come to you in the cong and tell you: "Your shirt is inapprobiat, take this one!" it will be a dream. Then you get a cheap, used white shirt - and you wear it. Funny. I would go immediatly, laughing and start my car loud, very loud. Or I ask, if he had a shirt from my favorite english shirt-brand or CK, will be perfect also....

Asked the full-bearded MS in my cong. He told me, it's no problem, he don't feel ill with it and the girls like it. He only lost some contacts, they blocked him at WhatsApp, because they only know his actuall pic and don't meet him in the last time.
So, should I ask the elders or write to the headquarter if I can grow a beard?

Just a simple question.
by Sabin indo you think it is easier for an elder to wake up to the wtbts because of the position he is in which gives him access to info that the rank & file would not be privy to, or do you think it would be harder for him to wake up because of all the prestige/power/admiration he receives as a result of being an elder, or does it come down to something else entirely?.

Elders can do more research and don't get to fast in trouble like the normal rank&file. But step down, fading or leaving would be very hard for them. -

All Hail Our Robot Overlords
by Coded Logic inabsolutely amazing how fast this technology is advancing.
at the darpa challenge last year the robots could hardly walk up right and it took them ten minutes to walk through an open door frame.
now they're running around outside and opening doors like a pack of velociraptors!

But the WT-Slaves cheaper and give money. Maybe elders and up will be replaced, elder-drones where given randomly to the slaves to control them.
