Guardians of Doctrine.
by Pubsinger ini'm still working my way through the videos..... this has probably been covered before but had anyone else ever heard them use this phrase before?
not me... but it's a clever and as per usual misleading choice of words.. if they are indeed guardians of doctrine, they are very poor ones.
if so jws would believe the same thing now that they did in 1879 and we all know that's not true.

Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED
by C0ntr013r ini went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

Getting rid of disfellowshipping?
by BashfulAshG inif they did that, it would be the end of the jws because they won't have members.

without disfellowsipping and associated shunning..I think numbers would increase as people would feel more in control and feel less vulnerable to discriminatory behaviour. It would become a religion of choice..not coercion. -

by konceptual99 indoes anyone in the uk know any details about the above congregation?
it seems it was disbanded by the co specifically because of "lack of love" and members reassigned to other congregations in the reigate and crawley areas.. i've checked the charities commission web site and the charity was removed in may 2012.. http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/showcharity/registerofcharities/removedcharitymain.aspx?registeredcharitynumber=1066699&subsidiarynumber=0.

..wasted years..meetings..study..conventions. ministry..calling on people with sincerity because we really did believe what we believed to be ' the truth'....making new friends...leaving old ones in the world....making our children go whether they wanted to or not....such a waste..such a scam....time lost forever. yes...I have felt as you do now...but life goes on...we can refocus. -

Splane and Morris Should Thank Raymond Franz, Their Organizational Father
by Hold Me-Thrill Me inthe whole elder body teaching and governing body teaching was based on research by a well known "apostate" raymond franz.
franz wrote the aid book articles which gave rise to the changes made in the congregations and bethel.
knorr was deposed by the johnny come lately new governing body members who in turn gave birth to those in charge today.

..which is why apostasy is indefinable as truth is a work in progress....nothing is set in concrete...so called apostates are just individuals who search and challenge...seeking truth...refusing to act like lemmings....seeing a cliff and turning back... -

..as a registered charity are they not accountable in some way?...seem to remember that there used to be a monthly or annual financial report read out at meetings but never a report of publisher numbers etc. I guess accurate figures of publishers etc is dependent on definition of what constitutes a publisher/interested ones...
