Anyone Here Lost Their Inheritance To The WT?
by Englishman ini have.. i hadn't even realised it until i had a conversation with my brother last summer.
our dad was a proffesional man who could command a good income whilst he worked.
trouble is, that he would listen to all the 1975 "end of the system" nonesense and then become motivated to serve where the need was great.

Hello Mulan,
I would be interested how they could get the money back from the WTS. I may be in a similar situation some day. What recourse did they have if she had a will and named the WTS as the beneficiary?

Disfellowshipped? I got a question
by sableindian inif a person is disfellowshipped, can they talk to anyone in the congregation?
and if not, what scripture says they (the disfellowshipped person) can not.
and, has anyone ever heard that an elder or someone else suggest a disfellowshipped person wear a letter "d" (the scarlett letter) when they go to public functions like an assembly?

Elsewhere
The elders hate it. I will walk up to people at the KH and start making small-talk... all the while the elders are looking on in horror.
Elsewhere do you still actually go to the hall?

"It is not a form of religious persecution to say and to show that another religion is false, for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as being false, thus allowing persons to see the difference between false religion and true religion." (Watchtower 11/15/63, p 688)
*** w97 5/1 8 Identifying the Right Kind of Messenger ***
Identifying the Right Kind of Messenger"I am . . . the One making the word of his servant come true, and the One that carries out completely the counsel of his own messengers."-ISAIAH 44:25, 26.
JEHOVAH GOD is the Grand Identifier of his true messengers. He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers. How does he expose them? He frustrates their signs and predictions. In this way he shows that they are self-appointed prognosticators, whose messages really spring from their own false reasoning-yes, their foolish, fleshly thinking!
2 Both Isaiah and Ezekiel claimed to be messengers of Jehovah God. Were they? Let us see. Isaiah prophesied in Jerusalem from about 778 B.C.E. to sometime after 732 B.C.E. Ezekiel was exiled to Babylon in 617 B.C.E. He prophesied to his Jewish brothers there. Both prophets boldly announced that Jerusalem would be destroyed. Other prophets said that God would not let this happen. Who proved to be the right kind of messengers?
*** Rbi8 1 John 4:1 ***
4 Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.*** Rbi8 1 John 4:6 ***
We originate with God. He that gains the knowledge of God listens to us; he that does not originate with God does not listen to us. This is how we take note of the inspired expression of truth and the inspired expression of error. -

A similar situation happened to someone I know. the elders wanted a former jw to say that her exhusband was free to remarry. She refused for some time. The elders forbade the exhusband jw to date a jw sister till he was free to remarry. This went on for a couple of years before the elders gave the go ahead for them to remarry. It was so funny though because the jw sister who wanted to marry the exhusband jw said "Isnt it wonderful how Jehovah teaches us patience and to wait on him".
Give me a break!
I was told the elders even staked out the exjw womans house and had seen a man coming out the house in the morning. Apparently this wasn't good enough though because the woman had her kids in the house too and so there was a shaperone of sorts and they didn't know for positive there was anything going on. The exjw woman stuck to her guns and wouldnt say he was free. I dont know why in the end they were given the green light to marry but it took like 2 to 3 years.

AWAKE Says We Shouldn't Judge Apostates!
by minimus inthe february 8, 2003 awake has an article entitled:"is there an unforgivable sin".notice the good news for apostates or those who once associated.
"some people who were once faithful christians have purposely drawn away from god, perhaps because of bitterness, pride, or greed, and are now apostate fighters against god's spirit.
they willfully oppose what the spirit is clearly accomplishing.
