  This thing isn't going to have any sort of digital watermarks or viruses. Stop worrying. Someone needs to upload it to here though.

  Yeah that doesn't help anyone. All it does it feed the persecution complex most of them have.

  The 50 Ways to Be Disfellowshipped

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering ... what are all of the "official" reasons provided by elders for disfellowshipping someone?

  i know the most common reasons are adultery and fornication, but what about the others?

  a couple of years ago i traveled back to my hometown` and one of my old jw acquaintances told me that her grown son had been disfellowshipped for refusing to stop associating with another disfellowshipped person.

  edit: Looking at the book myself.

  Very interesting that Child Sexual Abuse is listed as brazen/loose conduct and not porneia. Sort of explains why it's not taken seriously enough

  HBO Scientology Documentary

  has anyone else seen the hbo scientology documentary 'going clear' - wow...cults are just mind-blowing you wonder how people can fall for that garbage, then you (those of us former/fading jws) look in the mirror.. i would love for someone to make a major jw documentary like this.

  'going clear' is getting a lot of press.

  poor tom cruise...he looks like quite the whack job in it too.

  Yeah this was great and I had no idea about some of the things in this movie. Everyone needs to watch this. So many things are very similar to what WTS does. I wonder what would happen if some of the top leadership left the WTS now during the information age where it would be much easier for people to hear their story.

  March Broadcast- Jehovah is speeding up the work

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i watched some of the segments on the jw broadcast.

  in the video they showed how they managed their inventory orders for the congregations.

  at the conclusion it was stated by the narrator how god is speeding up the work.. the problem is the system they implemented has been used for over two decades in logistics.

  Astrological high risk, eh? Have you considered consulting a mental health professional?

  The Dwelling manual (Bethel rulebook) says that they (GB, Branch committee, etc) like things they way they are. That right there tells you all you need to know about what they think about change and progress. Things are literally determined by what a bunch of old men want, not by what is best. I am certain that the WT entrance into the digital age was not because JEHOVAH TOLD THEM but because the GB members who were against it are now dead.

  Hotel Caifornia, Stairway to Heaven, Saturday Night Fever

  does anyone remember those 2 songs and that movie specifically being mentioned in the watchtower?

  they were"bad" and should be avoided.

  it had to be in the late 70's or early80's.

  I think the Awake pointed out the (admittedly correct) parallels to Jesus in the movie. They also commented on its use of cursing and Halloween lol

  I do recall leafing through old magazines and Saturday Night Fever was name-dropped. Of course ET was mentioned too. I actually know some witnesses who won't watch it. If I recall I think even Pac-man is mentioned as being a 'bad video game.'

  I'm honestly surprised no one has stopped by or called to 'remind' me about the memorial. Aren't they supposed to make sure to hit up inactive people? No tract in my door either and I live right in town so I know they would have worked my neighborhood.

  What is the youngest age you know of being DF'd?

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i doubt that nothing has greater impact then a person being df'd - reading the current thread.. i have known many kids df'd at 15, and many baptized at 10 or 11, but none df'd.. i would imagine that the minimum must be about 13.. any younger than 15?.
