  this is sort of a take-off of the "what should the wt do" thread.. i need to get together a board of directors and elect a president and officers.

  we need to figure out a doctrine, a manifesto, and a set of disciplinary rules.

  we need to figure out a way to fund our new movement.

  What should the WTBS do?!?!

  well guys sorry i haven't participated much lately, i've been really busy.

  but, i do have a question that i would really appreciate all of your input on.. it is no secret that young people are leaving jws faster and faster.

  it is no secret that most jws are disappointed, and hurt by lack of prophecy fulfillment.. so here's what i was thinking: i'm going to post some very personal thoughts on what *i* think they need to do in order to stop the loss of almost 50,000 disfellowshipped and probably 4x that to inactivity.

  Is it Biblical to Shun??

  by charlie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not a witness, but i know one very well and we have had many discussions on various topics.

  we would both like to know, however, if it is biblical to shun the disfellowshipped/disassociated?

  where in the bible does the society base the practice of shunning or groveling back for a long period of time if a person is sorry and wants to return to the church?

  Are you Ex's still Christian?

  by joel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whassup guys.

  i've spent most of my web time over the last 2 years at another site full of ex-jdubs...i'd say about 50 people post there on occasion...many of that number regularly.. what struck me from the beginning, as i got to know the people posting there was...how many were now atheists...non-believers in god...the bible...pretty much anything they once held sacred as jw's!.

  i dare say...90 some % do not consider themselves christian now!.
