  What does Disfellowshiping really mean?

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure if i spelled the word right, but:.

  as some of you probably know i'm no longer active and have stopped attending etc...etc.... if one is disfellowshipped for whatever reason, including not agreeing with wtb doctrine...does the wtbs consider you worthy of death come armageddon?

  i saw the trial transcript and that's what they believed in the 50's...anyone have any recent quote from their publications explaining how they see a disfellowshipped person?.

  Technically speaking, JW doctrine style, that is... if I remember correctly, one can be DFd for apostacy, yet come back to the congregation, repent, be reinstated and still survive the Big A.

  Now, there is a provision for being cast out, never to return and that has something to do with sinning against the holy spirit, which involves more than just plain ole everyday apostacy. I never got a good handle on it, but I think it was just mumbo-jumbo to keep us all in line from even going anywhere near the line of doubting or questioning.

  But it wouldn't surprise me if they, in time, (if they haven't already and I just havent heard about it) make apostacy in general a sin against the holy spirit, with no hope of coming back or surving the end.

  this is absolutely the dumbest thing I have heard them do since Sparlock and the "special instructions" on how to copy and spiral bind the elders information.

  and you do realize that these 'dumbest things' are happening at an ever increasing rate. We truly are deep in the time of the end, brothers...

  Why Do People Kill?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that killing has gone on since the beginning of time.. but i wonder why some people kill?.

  are they typically screwy in the head?.

  are they just angry at the world or their family member or their boss?.

  Well, if your name is zed, then death is the easy part. It's the 'getting medievel on your ass' part that should worry you...

  Sickening Dilemma

  by ItsMyLife in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i would like to have your opinions on what i should do about a situation please.. i have recently discovered that a 'brother' in the congregation (which i no longer attend) is a child molester.

  i've seen documentation from his psychiatrist dated a few years ago, stating that he doesn't feel that this person is likely to offend again.

  the 'brother' has said to the elders at some point that he has it under control but cannot be 100% sure it won't happen again.

  I think Sir82 is right. Call the police. Even if it's just to get advice on how to handle it... or what you can do legally to warn people. Let professionals do their job.

  Blowing his cover in the hall probably won't do much, sad to say. He's a JW fer chrissakes, he wouldn't do anything like that. It's only after it's too late do dubs realize they were fooled. Get real authorities with real crime experience involved.

  It's so stupid, that until Atlantis sends us the link to download it, there's a small part of me that still thinks, 'this can't be real...can it?'

  They Are Just Like The Amish (But with Electricity)

  by OnTheWayOut in

  2. beliefs

  i was describing jehovah's witnesses to a family member who had no idea whatsoever about them.

  i may be straightforward and describe things in terms i have learned since reading about cults, but i was not over the top in any way.

  i was simply stating the facts in a way that did not try to put any positive spin on anything.. my family member said, "so they are basically the amish but with televisions and electricity.

  "Electric Amish." Can anyone steal that, UC?

  Be my guest.

  It would be a cool name for a rock band...

  I asked on the duplicate thread if it was real...

  ...but realized as I was typing, that if you have to ask if a WTS letter is real or parody, then it emphasizes just how ridiculous their organization really is.
