Disfelowshipping / Expelling
by freein2004 inthe insight book volume 1 page 788 uses matthew 5:22 and acts 10:28 as biblical support for dfing and shunning.. thoughts?
hopefully someone upload the insight book page here.
i don't have the means.. i should have said that basically the top paragraph in the insight book is supporting shunning because the israelites shunned the man of the nations and tax collectors?

Wow! How can Ken Little be president when three or four years ago he almost walked right off the platform and lost a lot of his lines. We had heard his mind was no longer valuable to the society. It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't one of the very many older couples that they had recently been let go from bethel at this last zone visit which was approx a month ago. There were quite a few of them and all elderly let go. I'm pretty sure it's Rod Jung that took his place. I could be wrong.
I am also noticing that my old hall isn't on the list yet the money they donated went to a hall which has claimed money as gifts. But then that hall said they didn't need it and the money came back supposedly. All very confusing. The gift money was suppose to be donated for their reno.

Verse 12 where it says we certainly wouldn't turn to the world for assistance. My bullshit detector went off and spewed out the letters U and N.
And that we are to stay close and rely on our brothers. Really? The brothers who pulled their elderly mother out of a nursing home who had dementia and was in diapers and the minute she was down here they took her for seven thousand dollars and asked us to look after her and when we got tired of their bullshit then they shipped the poor woman back to her home ten hours away to a caregiver who was suppose to be beating the crap out of her in the first place. Or the elders who are now bad mouthing us to neighbours who are not jw's? Or to the elder who's mother has two kids that were df'd because they charged her with sexual assault and she took off until things could quiet down. Or to the elder who gives a local needs on marrying in the lord all the while knowing about a brother who was living common law with a worldly woman as well as admitting that he had been seeking out prostitutes for the last twelve years. Or stick close to the elders who go away for the weekend leaving their daughters at home alone just to come home to their fourteen year old who becomes pregnant by a thirteen year old worldly boy and the rest of the body of elders cover that one up. Or stick really close to these goons who let a guy associated with the congregation that was reinstated while still a smoker, fooled around on his wife and threatened to blow off her head with a loaded gun, had the cops called on him because he also threatened to kill his father, poccessed an illegal firearm with no special firearm license along with no regular gun license and had his worldly high school employee forge a legal document using his wife's name on the document. Once the elders knew that we knew they came after us and used that guys whole family as my accusers. Or the elder who got his wife to ask me while my husband was at work for three thousand dollars the very next day after we were baptised. Or our po who said that it doesn't bother him at all to see starving countries and children dying. There's a reason why they are there and we are here, coming from a pig who inherited his father's insurance company and didn't have to work for it. Or the elder and his wife who studied with us at the beginning and we had to discontinue their studies because after the study was done out came the booze and they would get so polluted. These are the ones that we are to stick close to, Really????????????????????????
Verse 19 about the Philippines. Weren't they told to go to their hall when their disaster happened and the hall was swept away. That the brothers and sisters received no warnings until it was too late. That the meetings were not cancelled and that they were to go.
Thank you, Blondie

Make A Wish Trip to JW.ORG
by konceptual99 ina sick little girl goes to ny to meet caleb and sophia for her make a wish trip.. http://www.kmph.com/category/170789/video-landing-page?clipid=11142038&autostart=true.
i don't want to make too much comment as there is an innocent and poorly young girl at the heart of this but i do have to wonder what the purpose of the parents courting the media's attention over this really was..

It doesn't cost anything to go on a cult tour. Make a wish foundation would have sent that little girl to a better place, I'm sure.
The mother was sickening to listen to since she was telling the girl what to say and constantly getting the JW.org label out there. How fortunate the mother's sister could go on the trip as well.
The mother reminded me of the elders wives in our hall. Always telling the husbands what to say and do. She probably writes her husband's talks. There was one in our hall that did.
The little girl was cute

Now now you two. Just remember that god is using these guys (governing body) as his mouth piece just as he used Satan the serpent when it came to Adam and Eve. -

BOC's, awesome letter and if we lived closer to you, I would ask if we could set up our table on JWFacts right by theirs.
This week we found out our elders had bad mouthed us to neighbours that were never jw's but had been studied with for years and years. The neighbours asked them what happened to us and these goons told them that my husband was aggressive and wanted to fight( a big fat lie, he was the one that had to walk away from them on our property) plus we were telling false lies about the organisation. Our neighbours told them to hit the road and to never bother them again. This is the extent they will go to hate apostates. This is a deadly dangerous cult.
So glad you took the time to care about those who are about to be victimized. You might want to show who ever you are writing this letter to the responses on this site as well as other sites. That it's not just your own personal opinion but all of our true life experiences with this evil cult.

Pretty slimy when the goon said that they only act on the spiritual aspect and not the physical. Yet, if you dare report your "physical assault" to anyone whether it be to someone in the congregation like another family with children or the secular authorities like police, then you will get kicked out for sure. You could see that he was programmed to say those words. So sly and disgusting. How can anyone feel they are serving Jehovah when people at the doors know all of this.
