Is Lying a Disfellowshipping offence?
by stuckinarut2 inso, if lying or being deliberately misleading is a "disfellowshipping" offence, why haven't the brothers who lied to the australian royal commission been brought before a judicial committee?

They are THE UNTOUCHABLES ! They didn't lie. You were told lies about their lies ! You are lacking faith ! You lack a waiting attitude ! Were there 2 witnesses to the lies ? Why are you questioning Gods Designated Channel? Please attend a meeting on Monday night to discuss a matter of a Judicial nature ! -

The mind-set it reveals has not changed - and it will show you the evolution of the doctrines and organisational character - besides the insight into how WT lies through its teeth - Thereafter be prepared to never want to go back - -

This is for all JW's out there...
by Divergent in.
sorry to be so blunt, but you only have yourself to blame if you realize something is wrong but allow your cognitive dissonance to kick in.
if you are confronted with facts which are reported by reliable sources which are hard to dispute and deny, and you choose to dismiss these as "apostate lies" rather than looking at these from an objective point of view, it's your fault and you deserve the consequences of willful ignorance!.

Divergent - Respectfully.... your comments betray a lack of understanding of Cognitive Dissonance and the associated Psychology of the mind attached to that and - are without doubt a little too heavy to put it mildly - -
While its true that ultimately only we individually can change our position / situation in life - the person locked in by his CD at any point in time cannot see that otherwise he would not be in the situation he is in.
Please bear in mind that many of us here have been along some difficult paths in life. Some are here to find solace - some bear the scars and wounds of severe trauma in life - eg the loss of their own children etc
Regards.

LevelThePlayingField the effect for me is the same - Its liberating piece of music that I have to confess [ and I am a "tough" guy ] gets me choked up at times - I see in that train humans striving - struggling with their proverbial torture stakes - I also see the "worldly ...doomed....people " who everyday all bloody-well getting off their derrieres and striving to make a difference in the world and in the lives of their fellowman - while JW.CULT does sweet Fanny Adams ! ..."Oh we just wait for the Big Guy to press the big red button of Doom - solve the problems in one Big Genocide "
Stay well !

News flash - ex-Bethelites protest Watchtower headquarters- Governing Body flees
by Esse quam videri inpandemonium broke out at the headquarters of the watchtower bible and track society as hundreds of former bethel workers protested being released from their assignments and told to vacate the premises.
the governing body members barely escaped the wrath of the mob, some without the shirt on their backs.

JWs and Education
by cognac inmy parents were always of the belief that, "the end is right around the corner".. i was a zealous kid, with a learning disorder, so my parents never gave me a hard time or pushed me in regards to my education.. this not only hurt me, but, pissed me off insanely.
fast forward to me having my own kid.
ava is not doing well in school.
