  The Motive of the Governing Body

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.

  however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.

  it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.

  Thank you Paul for the great article. Reading the letter, I could hear Ray in my head (spoke with him a few times).

  We've pretty much quarantined ourselves. One person goes grocery shopping. We set up a small table outside for take out and one table inside to carefully transfer food on sanitized dishes. Then we sanitize everything and wash our hands about every 1/2 hour.

  2. announcements

  as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.

  but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.

  Happy anniversary! this site was instrumental in my awakening journey. I am definitely one of those that reads more than posts. And I must admit in the early days, I read posts and threads for hours at a time.

  It was "food at the proper time" as they say in dubtown.

  How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???

  by RubaDub in

  2. experiences

  i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.

  at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.

  the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

  I remember an announcement that said "so and so have been disfellowshipped for apostasy". If I knew then what I knew now----what a great conversation we could have had
