Not trying to be unkind or anything of the sort, but I never read your posts anymore because they're just too strung out. Your writing style aggravates me to no end. Shrink it down, and I will return to reading them ... that is if you want me to ... I suppose that you're writing them for my benefit too.

Mimic, jeer, heckle. Are those the things you only know to do.
Here’s a little out of the book that you hate. See if you can find a replica of yourself therein. (Hint: You’re not the “we” or the “Jews”, mentioned. Nor are you the one whom the book is named after.)
1 Now it came about that, as soon as Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and highly offended, and he kept deriding the Jews. 2 And he began to say: “What are the feeble Jews doing? Will they depend upon themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they bring the stones to life out of the heaps of dusty rubbish when they are burned?”3 Now Tobiah was alongside him, and he went on to say: “Even what they are building, if a fox went up against it, he would certainly break down their wall of stones.” -- Nehemiah 4:1-3

You seem to have preferred to miss the point, or at least to get what you wanted to out of what I said.
Earlier I had said:
I stand firmly behind the WTS policy of disfellowshipping any member who is determined to disturb the peace of the Congregation by insisting they have the right to voice their conflicting beliefs amongst other members in an attempt to draw those members away from the faith. Those groups of people referred to as "Congregations" were formed under the direction of the WTS, not any individual such as yourself. Neither you nor any other disgruntled member has the right to plunder the work of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Get used to it, because it's a FACT.
To that, you reply:
I believe that I have a right to inform people of the WBTS's false teachings.As to your posting your personal thoughts on a board such as this for example that is your right, and of course I won’t be trying to interfere with you doing so. But if you'll look just a little closer at what I said, above, you should be able to detect that I had reference to your entering a JW place of worship (“the Congregation”) in order to “voice your conflicting beliefs amongst other members”. See that in my comments above?
If you try to do that it will NOT be allowed. You do not have “the right” to be on those premises attempting to “inform people” of your diverse opinions. Understood now?

Daniel 11:35 ... a KEY prophecy that must be fulfilled before the "time of the end" gets underway.
jehovah witnesses destroy many otherwise happy families by their cruel and inhumane shunning.. the bryant families(ca.& or) are a very real example of how shunning as enforced by elders and the watchtower really messes up what could otherwise be happy families.. will those fat heads on the governing body ever stop and think about how their sad and tragic misuse of shunning has led to untold suffering for so so many people,.. people who they owe,... no, people who they should feel love and compassion for because they have trusted them with their lives.. there is all kinds of wickedness in this world and i think the governing body is right up there close the the most wicked by their use of manipulation though lies and guilt.
one day i'm sure they will be held accountable.. oh god please bring their own wickedness crashing back on their own heads, because they keep tearing your people to pieces with their lies and the shunning of innocent people, please bring their own form of wickedness crashing back on their own heads.. .
join the watchtower or you will die.. only jehovah's witnesses have the truth all other religions evil and from the devil.. you must beleive the watchtower or you're going to die a painful death forever, isn't that really good news?.

Because those who don't know ... have a better chance at living forever by the standards of the [JW] religion.I understand your point here perfectly. And I agree, that something's not quite right with the way the WTS has interpreted the Scriptures here. In keeping with my signature scripture, I see changes that must be forthcoming with regards to the WTS's stance on this very point. I'm too fatigued to go on right now, except to say that the great, GREAT majority who die at Armageddon will return in the resurrection (including apostates who will have died then and before) with the potential of benefiting under Jesus' reign. Perhaps this is enough said for you to get my point.

Number 2. If you die while you are disfellowshipped and you have made no effort to indicate some tendency to return, Witnesses will be instructed NOT to conduct your funeral. Now my question is this: How does that fulfill either of the two stated reasons for disfellowshipping? It does not. It’s a punitive action and it’s wrong!You're being silly, again.
Answer: Correct, it doesn't fulfill them. Simply because the question as to WHO will conduct the disfellowshipped person's funeral service has absolutely nothing to do with the "two stated reasons for disfellowshipping".
Would you really expect the WTS to go against the disfellowshipped person's wishes and conduct a Witness funeral in his behalf in spite of his having stated that he prefer not to be given a Witness funeral? Like I've said, twice now, you're being silly.

One is being punished [having been disfellowshipped] one is being excused [bad word choice]. Why is that? Are they not both guilty of the same bad conduct? Are they not both aware of the wrong?You're being extremely silly.
Answer: The one had made a decision that was accompanied by a vow, and then reneged on it; whereas the other girl had never made the decision in the first place. It just demonstrates that to take a vow is no little thing. -- Ecclesiastes 5:4, 5.
