excommunication is "altogether foreign to biblical teachings.".
it's an unbiblical roman catholic teaching by which "you are looked upon with the blackest contempt... being cursed and damned with the devil and his angels.".
Excommunication has demonic origins
Where to find that statement?

Another argument that old light is "just old". Indirect they mean that everything written in WT today can be totally wrong 50 years from now. Good to know. Changeable permanent eternal wisdom, that´s cool.

"Old light"......I thought old true wisdom is eternal. Maybe I´m wrong about that. Thanks for bringing this "old light thread" up
jw should put humility high on their list.

Yes, it is what it is. True.
They (JW) KNOW and you don´t know I recognize it very well. Another thing I have notised is that they are extremly curious, not about the truth, but about the one they talk to. "-Do you believe in the Bible? -Do you have been in the arny? -How old are you? -Are you married? etc etc"

The possibility that the earth is not flat is high. I didn´t looked flat when I looked at the horizon high up in an airplane. Pictures taken on Earth from space confirm this. There is a very high chance that the earth is round according to the evidences.
The possibilty that the Watchtower is a deluded cult is also very high because they rely their information from believing, not from facts.
We maybe think our so called wisdom is higher than others. What about this parable:
Cofty, your latest statement, is it humble to indirect write that I´m not humble? (even if I´m not)

Yeah...at least I realize how foolish I am. I hope it´s a good first step.....just let me find out.
A clarifying about what I mean to stay opened. It doesn´t mean that the open minded person pathetically sucks upp everything that is introduced. It´s the opposite, or else it would be impossible to retain the opened mind.

My experience of "opened mind" and "humility" is that they are at least close relaled. Can one stay humble with a closed mind?

Haha, Cofty, you´re testing me hard
It´s very hard to stay humble and very easy to look at their belief with arrogance. I have done it and still struggle with it. I didn´t even knew what you´re telling me about their governing. I wish I could stay open and aware for whatever they will tell me, but sadly for me I know that I´m full of pride. There is a possibility that I will fail in my humble quest (assuming their belief is screwed up)
It´s not surprsising though, I´m not a humble person, I only wish I would.

Thanks for all replies
"A humble man may have strong beliefs but is willing to listen......"
Which means that he is ready to change his already strong belief to another.....?
I have a few more quotes about humility:
