Letter From Society Say Going To a JW/Non-JW Wedding Has Consequences!

my mother called me in a tizzy saying that her friend heard that letters were read and a talk was given in 2 different congregations saying that the society's new policy is that if a elder, m.s.

or pioneer attends an "unequaled" wedding----they will be removed from their exemplary positions because they are "disloyal to jehovah god"........what do you think about this one?

Now whether you choose to believe that or not is up to you.

Exactly my point. I don't believe it. I've been wrong lots in the past, but I can't believe that the society would do something like this. If they do, then they are going to alienate even more people from it's ranks.

I know if I was still in, even if I was in the same mindset thinking that 'it's the truth', I would be completely floored by this 'new light', or rule, or whatever the hell they call it nowadays.

I can't see them 'demoting' someone for going to a worldly wedding. That is just nonsense, IMO. They need pioneers, they need MS's, they need elders. Why they would look for more ways to alienate these ones is quite beyond me.

There are 3 people in total that have said these things were said from the platform in 3 different congregations.

Hearsay is hardly fact, Minimus.

If this is such a fact, why aren't there more people saying that this actually happened? I only hear one person claiming it and it's you. Lots here, including me, still have ties to the 'organization'. I still have friends in, and they keep me updated.

Not a peep about this one.

Minimus,

I don't believe it.

When someone has some concrete proof, fine. I know that 'the society' is a virus of society but I highly doubt that they actually did this. Many elders and MS's have unbelieving family members no in the society, and they have to appear as normal as possible to 'win them over'. I highly doubt that the society actually did this drastic step. That would be stepping over a lot of lines.

An Apology Regarding "The Voice"...

by AGuest in

to the household of god that is israel... and all those who go with them... may you have peace!.

i have been coming here for some time (although not in recent months, my sincere apologies) to share with you various truths that i have received from the truth.

for some of you, there has been little or no doubt as to the "authority" by which i share such things, the true source of such understandings: i have not refrained from confessing to you time and again that they are not mine, but are what has been given me by my lord, jaheshua mischajah, son and christ of the most holy one of israel, the god of abraham, isaac and jacob, whose name is jah or armies.
