Watchtower says you can be Disfellowshiped for being Fat!

by Witness 007 in

watchtower 1974 p.167 "by disobediently over indulging in food and making a glutton of himself he shows no love for jehovah..in the presents of others does he ignore their needs and selfishly take more then his fair share?

is he grossly overweight gorging himself?

does he feel uncomfortable even getting sick...this person has no place in the congregation of god...they will not inherit gods kingdom.".

There are eight fat old guys who are exempt from this.

Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

by GoverningBody in

this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

"bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

If their website has a FAQ section that needs to include the question of whether it's a cult or not, that's telling.

In the answer, I recall they state that a cult has one leader, and that proves they aren't one, end of story, checkmate apostates. Surely the 'composite slave' meets that definition, or if not them, then Jehovah, acting through his Spirit-directed organisation?

Jay the unfunny Comedian is calling everyone who disagrees with him racist now

by Diogenesister in

just some screenshots of his twitter.

these are absurd reaches.

at this point it's just a risk communicating with him at all.. .

I hope Jay has already realised how silly he was being.

If he wants to be a comedian, he should try not to be a laughing stock.

This talk of legal action reminded me of Lloyd's opinion in the case of 'watchtower vs Faithleaks':

The Left and Present Truth

by neat blue dog in

add yet another jw similarity to the list:.

they say now the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is a matter of weeks.

things like the effectiveness of masks and the vaccine, the origin of covid-19 in a lab, clinton spying on trump, the existence of a pedophile ring for the elites and more, things branded as conspiracy theories have been proven true.

Hines v, Watchtower

by DNCall in

attorneys for the governing body have responded to the complaint in the above matter by filing a motion to dismiss the complaint.

the underlying argument its that the governing body is not a legal entity and thus cannot sue or be sued.. the zalkin firm will file an opposition to the motion and perhaps and amended complaint.. what remains a curiosity is why watchtower new york has apparently not been served.. you can read the motion here..

Thanks for the link. Just like the current Illinois case, they will stall and stall shamelessly if allowed to.

Norway Takes Appropriate Action Against Jehovah’s Witnesses

by Vanderhoven7 in

i hope other countries follow suit.. https://youtu.be/pfw9xzugcms.

Something tells me that the Watchtower will suddenly get new light on disfellowshipping before this spreads

.. .the Norway CCJW might have a 'Bulgaria' type epiphany but I think Norway is on to them.

Lloyd, if none of Prince Andrew's excellent get-outs seem workable to you, how about 'She recognised me and asked me for a selfie, what could I do?' Yeah, that's the ticket!
