  if you want to get technical, jws have not "disfellowshipped" anyone publicly in several years.

  they stopped saying,.

  "joe blow has been disfellowshipped.

  When I was a kid, i remember disfellowshipping announcement included the reason: " Bro Joe Blow has been disfellowshipped for fornication". "Sis and Bro IKnow are disfellowshipped for apostasy.

  Later they refrained to tell the congregation the reason" "Bro Joe Blow has been disfellowshipped from the christian congregation".

  At present, they don't even call the person brother or sister: "Joe Blow is no longer a jehovah's witness".

  The congregation however is always made aware of the reason. A few weeks after the fact, a local needs talk will be given , names will he withheld but enough specifics will be outlined, and generally the rank and file will figure it all out.

  As for the treatment of inactive ones--that's been going on for a while and the religion tacitly endorses it.

  I hate this religion.

  WOW! what a sad situation. It's tough being respectful to those who have not reciprocated. Been there!

  I am wondering what your mom's wishes are. Do you think that your mom would want to see her family members? Is so, then it would be a very loving gesture to put hard feelings aside and allow these people to visit with her.

  I do agree with other posters that getting in touch with your local hospice or palliative care chapter in your area would be very helpful.

  I will be thinking of you

  Warm Regards,

  unproductive kingdom proclaimers won't leave my kingdom hall, how do i rid our hall of these vultures or turkeys?.

  "you can't fly like the eagles if you hang out with turkeys".

  after visiting your site, i decided to allow one of the spiritual weak individuals into my car group, it was not easy but you have made valid points i find very self condemning.

  Field Service Requirements

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has there ever been any official letters stating the amount of field service required to be considered exemplary?

  usually the number given is 10hrs, but if you look up " 10 hours " in the cd-library you get 14 hits.

  none from the bible of course, and only 3-5 are related to field service.

  In my area, 10 hours is still the magic number. Males reaching out have to produce 15.

  Hi Cedars! I am grateful for champions such as you. The video was very powerful. Let's hope that at some point watchtower will crack its evil hold on the rank and file.

  Many of us can only do a little to expose it; but you are doing so much more. Thank you. You are loved and appreciated by many.

  the dumbest thing a CO ever said

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "if it was'nt for the preaching work there would be millions more witnesses" - he was saying jehovah wants quality not quantity.. si i'm thinking, what's the difference as long as he has a people that live by bible standards and are moral.

  maybe sharing their hope and faith with friends and relatives on a casual basis?

  how backwards is that?.

  by minimus in

  i typically gave $$$ to the local kh and seldom gave donations to the society.. i always am amazed how some church going people have very little materially, yet make sure the church and the pastors are well taken care of..

  Big Moma:

  you have a PM. Watchtower is all about image. Exposing them and chipping at their perfect facade is thet only way to get change out of them

  thanks in advance. I am happy to do my part at "apostacratic warfare"
