  Was disfellowshipping really sanctioned by God? Please share your honest views according to your Bible views

  what were the writers of the bible telling christians when they wrote : “stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.” (1 corinthians 5:11) regarding everyone who “does not remain in the teaching of the christ,” we read: “do not receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him.

  for the one who says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.” (2 john 9-11.

  Doesn’t Paul backtrack on what he wrote in 1 corthinthians in 2 Corinthians? As far a 1 John yeah the Christians really we’re pushing their new god Jesus and anyone that didn’t believe in their new god was to be avoided.

  My thought would be never deny belief in Jesus around Christians as far a Corinthians if your not doing these specific things then you should be left alone but let’s not forget is that many of the teachings of Paul were either forgeries or were contradictions of what Jesus supposedly taught.

  quote: "jonathan cahn on the jim bakker show nov.12th, 2012. cahn uses detective work to figure out that jesus was born on the first day of the jewish new year, known as nissan 1, in 6 b.c.

  compelling correlation of jewish feast days and their foreshadowing of the life and work of jesus.".

  Considering when the count of the people was ordered and when Herod died there a 12 year different between the gospels Luke and Mathew. One would think it would be pretty clear when the son of god was on the earth yet they can’t even get that right.

  It’s all bullshit smoke and mirrors. Thier claiming over 2 million new baptized in 8 years even with half of them leaving in that amount of time you would still need to be building Kingdom Halls like crazy. Total bullshit.

  This is a cult that has lied about numbers for over a 100 years. 1914 was when Armageddon was going to take place, no wait that when Russell predicted wwI. Now Armageddon going to take place in 1918 no stay alive til 1925 no I meant 1975 no we didn’t say that. Lies after lies after lies!! How can anyone take their number of members seriously?!

  Yet another example why you can't reason with a JW

  so i mentioned to my pimi brother that the org.

  only grew by 1.4 % 2 years in row and if you factor in the birthrate of 1.1 % that's only 3/10 of 1% growth for all that hard work.

  i thought people would be streaming to the mountain of jehovah in the last days?

  Coping with a change of heart

  after 24 years of active service as a witness my marriage came to an end causing massive trauma.during this tragic life event for a period of approx 8 months i went haywire.

  drinking.

  partying.smoking.i was disfellowshipped.i met a wonderful non witness along the way and am remarried.what i don't get is this.if an announcement was made that i am no longer a jehovahs witness then why does the bible principle in corinthians about not even greeting he who calls himself a brother still apply.

  Shunning is not really anywhere in the scriptures except for those that don’t believe Jesus is the Christ 1john.

  I think that guy in Germany has the right idea. They have been telling everyone that something like so many people are joining each day so to keep up this charade they continue to publish this number or a bit greater per year.

  Watchtower Now Considers Elders to Be Clergy Class

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my father's uncle and spiritual mentor, benjamin ray kent, had been a deacon (ministerial servant) in watchtower founder c. t. russell's home ecclesia (congregation) in brooklyn, and also served as russell's personal secretary at brooklyn bethel.

  after attending university my father served a 5-year prison term during world war ii, supposedly for his loyalty to god.

  while his mother's proud and patriotic family disowned my father for his decision, it was his uncle ray who regularly visited him in prison.. that is the culture in which i was raised, and for much of my life, i took great pride in the belief that my father was a man of integrity to god.

  The Apprentice - Watchtower version

  by catchthis in

  2. friends

  being a fan of the tv show the apprentice, i love to "play along" to see if my ideas would work with what the teams are tasked to accomplish.

  many times, their ideas are totally off.

  other times, the executives they are tasked with providing a presentation to feel that they had 'hit a home run.
