  I really wanted to hear the entire set of talks about apostasy. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm relieved to know I don't fit the WT definition, nor do most on here, it seems

  A Phone Call With Watchtower Headquarters on Baptism

  a phone call with watchtower headquarters on baptism .

  i would like to say i big well done to jwstruggle for his consistent battle against the wt .this video is worth watching ,as the baptism issue is i think one of the greatest issues today in the jw deceptions of their flock .it shows also that these guys are not interested in listening or changing one thing about their doctrines or policies .they are happy to carry on disfellowshiping people for as long as it takes to silence the opposition .thousand of families will in effect break down.

  sadly this is a self serving machine that will not stop for no one .talking to them ,try to reason with them is a pure waste of time .. do you want results ?if you 're still in .

  Joe134, doing just that (googling jehovah's witnesses child abuse) is what led me to TTATT and leaving JW.

  Love in the video how programmed the brother sounds. Yet, you never know what question will get a brain turned back on. Cautiously optimistic for me!

  Shunning family??

  by Flg8ter in

  i was just reading and going through the newest elder book.

  in chapter 5 there is a list of offenses that would warrant a judicial committee.

  one of them is continued, unnecessary contact with disfellowshipped nonrelatives.

  Not sure how to get quotes added. It's quickly found under the search or even google jw org do witnesses shun?

  There's a thread from back when the WT Jan 15' 2013 came out on here, but I'm sorry I can't seem to get it added. Also, still available on jw.org.

  Cute cop! Silent lambs has a lot of the cases. Seems like there have been 6 in the past two months? Would be great to have all in one list, as the order changes when you google "Jehovah's witnesses child abuse". I feel like I can ask a JW if they have don't that and how they feel about all the recent cases.

  Many, many JW's from the Naples/ft. Myers area went inactive in the past 5 years. I'm sending you a PM.

  I'm not an elder, but the 2013 January WT talked about not even emailing these ones. Compare that with the jw.org website which states Jehovah's Witnesses do NOT shun.

  Welcome, I really learned the most from the jwfacts site. Important to read all aspects of anything one decides to be involved in.

  Pioneers during the 1920s/1930s and earlier

  by A question in

  -what exactly was their standard of living?

  could they afford some nice things sometimes?.

  -how much did they socialize with other witnesses, either those serving in other areas or those in their assignment, outside of meetings and service?

  I was on Cedars blog today and ended up reading the latest WT study article 11/15 about doing what we're told when it doesnt make sense.

  It had an article on the last two pages with an experience from 1929. I don't know how to get links added here, but jw.org, publications, 11/15 issue, last two pages. It was interesting. I almost felt sympathetic to the early days of delusional excitement JW's got caught up in.
