I welcome unwelcome grievances about theological topics. Again if you don't believe in welcoming unwelcome theological grievances don't waste my time.

To the Bethel Writing Dept. dupe who wrote this:
Does WT know you are posting on JWN during your "workday"? I see you've utilized many get-out-of-jail-free-when-my-predictions-fail words WT employs often:

Do you "concur" with the GB because they've been correct so often in the past?
There's one born every minute....

Shunning Among the Shunned
by Quendi ini wonder if anyone else has had this experience or know of others who have.
when i was disfellowshipped, i approached another disfellowshipped person after the memorial celebration and asked him over for some refreshments and conversation.
he turned down my invitation saying that the elders had told him that he could not even talk to other disfellowshipped persons unless and until both he and they were reinstated!

This is a common requirement of the elders. In order for a DF person to "prove" they are repentant they cannot associate with "worldly" people or other DF persons. Associating with these people apparently is clear proof the person still likes the world and does not qualify for reinstatement. Of course they cannot associate with JWs either, so they are in a very real sense put into 'no man's' land.
It is yet another example of how WT controls a person's life, despite the fact that WT itself no longer even considers the DF person a JW. It is beyond absurd.
It means that if a DF person wants back into the Org. they cannot have any friends, not even acquaintances, in their life.

"We Love You All Very Much"
by Apognophos ini'm not sure if this has been discussed before.
you guys might recall that when the 2013 yearbook came out, the letter from the governing body ended a bit unusually:.
we love you all very much.

"We love all you children very much."
I think Splane means "we love children" in the pedophile sense of the term...

We would never read a WT lesson and say that it was in error, or doubt what we read
So, the "ancient worthies" were resurrected in 1925 and Abraham is the ruler of New York City? And Armageddon came in 1914? Good to know those things came true just as WT said they would. I never doubted for a moment.

I've just checked out that picture, it could be the injured mans own hand that is near his crotch?
So it'll be a WT lesson covering superficial kindness and masterbation? Great! I guess with fewer issues and fewer pages, WT has to cover as many topics as possible in each lesson.

According to JWs' application of Acts 15:29, shouldn't they also be refusing medical examinations by gynecologists?
by Island Man inwatchtower uses the following twisted logic to equate receiving a blood transfusion, with feeding on blood:.
feeding is sometimes done by injecting nutrients intravenously.. blood transfusions are carried out by injecting blood intravenously.. therefore the intravenous injecting of blood can be equated with feeding intravenously.. hence, true christians refuse blood transfusions in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from blood".. now notice how the same kind of twisted logic leads to the equating of an invasive examination by a gynecologist, with sexual intercourse:.
sexual intercourse is often done by inserting the penis into the vagina.. certain invasive examinations by a gynecologist is done by inserting an instrument into the vagina.. therefore such invasive gynecological examinations can be equated with sexual intercourse.. hence, true christians refuse such gynecological examinations that are performed by someone to whom they're not married, in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from fornication".. it's the same kind of twisted reasoning, isn't it?

Island Man-
I did forget about Dr. Sod Omee.
I heard he left the profession...he was the butt of too many jokes. He joined the air force and is now a tailgunner.

Apog: the hurricane coming through NYC mentioned that the friends organized an effort that 'enabled them to help' each other and non-believers. It didn't say that they actually helped anyone
WT's version of "helping people", as mentioned in the article, was to preach to them. Providing food, clothing, shelter? Nada.
WT's modern take on "keep warm and well fed": go to JW.Org.

Thanks for the encouraging words, I will sleep better tonight
Get your colonoscopy from Dr. Beninya. He's the best. Dr. Ben Dover is also quite good.
