  Mandated Shunning is a Crime

  by Lee Marsh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mandated shunning is on the rise around the world with devastating effects on millions of people.

  shunning that is mandated by organized groups to its members is a form of both physical and psychological violence against those people being shunned and cut off from their family and life-long relationships.

  mandated shunning means that the shunning is ordered from the top down.

  @DesirousofChange, I am not a WTBT$ supporter. WTBT$ has been misrepresenting Jehovah with their false pyramidology based "just around the corner since 1914" mythology. Those teachings were never in the Bible. If you chose to fall for their false teachings, that's not Jehovah's fault and it doesn't negate the fact that He is truthful.

  
  

  The timeline of the great tribulation being 3 1/2 years is in the Bible multiple times. If you don't want to believe it, whatever, that's your choice.

  
  

  The God-dishonoring shunning doctrine is another misrepresentation and twisting of the scriptures. Jehovah will hold those WTBT$ guys accountable for misleading so many people. And He will also make clear Who He Is to others like you.

  We can only do so much to make a change. We do what we can, but He will do the rest. If we die while we're waiting, what of it? At least the grave is a peaceful place. He can bring back the dead. And He will.

  The UN will get the power they crave. They will remove the religious institutions, and in the process they will remove a lot of our freedoms. They'll go too far. It'll be like hell. But then the UN will be removed and replaced. It's going to be a process. That's why it's called "great tribulation". Once it starts, it'll be over in 3 1/2 years. Then we'll really be free.

  "You Would Do Better Consulting Awake!”

  ...“At the end of a lesson, the teacher asked her students for help in finding material on child abuse, the subject on which she was preparing a postgraduate thesis. I remembered a few issues of Awake! that dealt with this and related subjects, such as ‘Sex Education—Who Should Give It?’ (February 22, 1992)."

  The Pharisaical Persuasion

  the pharisaical persuasion by stephane maillet.

  the jews searched the scriptures daily because they thought salvation was within themselves.

  they knew the law yet interpreted the text to their desires, burdening the people with heavy traditions and ordinances.

  I don't know the author, and I cannot vouch for his knowledgeability on Jewish history, but it appears the author was using the phrase "pharisaical persuasion" to describe religious hypocrites.

  
  

  If the author's point was to warn believers against religious hypocrites, that was accomplished in the excerpt provided.

  
  

  ""But watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Then they grasped that he said to watch out, not for the leaven of bread, but for the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

  
  

  Jesus wasn't just preaching to literal Jews about literal Jews. His words were for us today too, and the "Pharisees" are figurative. (How many of us today know any literal Pharisees?) God is Our Father. We don't need some clergy class to stand in between us.

  
  

  "For by him we have life and move and exist, even as some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his children.'"

  I do not believe in a literal place of hellfire, but if there was such a place, surely Watchtower Lawyers would be there.

  
  

  Leviticus 14:43-45

  
  

  "If, though, the contamination returns and breaks out in the house after the stones were torn out and the house was scraped and replastered, the priest will then go in and inspect it. If the contamination has spread in the house, it is malignant leprosy in the house. The house is unclean. He will then have the house pulled down—its stones, its timbers, and all the plaster and mortar of the house—and carried outside the city to an unclean place."

  
  

  In Bible times, sometimes if a house was so incredibly unclean, you couldn't fix it. The whole house had to be taken down.

  2 Peter 3:7

  
  

  "But by the same word the heavens and the earth that now exist are reserved for fire and are being kept until the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly people."

  
  

  The WTBT$ is one of many religious "houses" that are incredibly unclean. The figurative "fire" of Jesus' illustrations and of Revelation will soon "burn down" the disgusting religious institutions that wrongly claim to represent God's will - including the WTBT$ and their reproachful "legal" department.

  
  

  Matthew 24:50,51

  
  

  "...the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be."

  
  

  Matthew 13:49,50

  
  

  "That is how it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous and will cast them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be."

  "forced - obtained or imposed by coercion or physical power

  
  

  coerce - persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats; obtain (something) by using force or threats" (definitions from oxford languages)

  
  

  The FD$/GB/WTBT$ falsely claim to represent the God of the Bible, but then they disregard His clear commands on showing love and respect for life. The FD$/GB/WTBT$ do threaten the people they have influence over. They do carry out the threats when they cut the people off from their social groups and also sometimes their physical resources.

  
  

  "18 U.S. Code § 912 - Officer or employee of the United States

  Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

  (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 742; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)"

  
  

  In the United States, it is illegal to falsely assume to be an officer acting under the authority of the United States.

  
  

  How much more so it is illegal for the FD$/WTBT$ to falsely claim to be representing the God of Love when they enforce their ostracism doctrine that has a basis in Greek philosophy rather than the law of the Christ!

  
  

  When the governments of the nations dismantle the WTBT$, Jehovah will not stand in their way. He will give them the strength and desire to do it, because it is in harmony with His will.

  
  

  "It is God’s minister, an avenger to express wrath against the one practicing what is bad."

  
  

  May you have God's speed and blessing in your work, Lee.💖

  "Does "The Pharisaical Persuasion" remind you of anyone?"
  

  
  

  Yeah, the WTBT$, the Catholic Church, the clergy of every church for that matter, Robert King/"E-Watchman", Eric Wilson/Meloti"Beroean Pickets", anybody on a website who asks for a "donation to help with the work of the Lord"..."The Pharisaical Persuasion"

  
  

  "Now the Pharisees, who were money lovers, were listening to all these things, and they began to sneer at him. So he said to them: “You are those who declare yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is considered exalted by men is a disgusting thing in God’s sight."

  "in the playing of dice of men" also translated "trickery of men" at Ephesians 4:14...

  
  

  "So we should no longer be children, tossed about as by waves and carried here and there by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in deceptive schemes."

  
  

  According to this verse, every single JW is "gambling" with their life when they follow the leaders of the WTBT$.

  
  

  (It seems to me that buying a lotto ticket is a lot safer bet than following the GB/FD$. "If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.")
