  I have Celiac Disease so must not eat any gluten. It's really not that difficult. I am a baker and can make just about anything (though I do buy packaged bread, Udi's). And I do feel lots better! There are a couple of brands of imported GF beer that are pretty good, just can't remember them right now.

  Still a hard line on DF family members WTApr15 2012

  by Gladring in

  the april 2012 wt study article has some of the most strongly worded statements about contact with disfellowshipped family members.. page 12, paragraph 17: -.

  good that can come when a family loyally.

  upholds jehovahs decree not to associate.

  I think it really works against them. If the motive is to associate with family, it's not a win "for Jehovah." And I think the cut-off really helps those wanting to make a break since you don't have family pleading with you to come back. It is unloving, shunning is, but I don't think the WTS gets what they want from it.

  fearless condemnation of christendom in the watchtower and awake seems to have stopped in europe since incitement to religious and racial hatred laws were introduced !

  please comment.

  But it will be explained away as theocratic strategy. Of course they are cowards!

  And welcome to the board!

  It also reinforces that you can find all you need to know in the WT publications. This is subtle and blatant at the same time! No going to a real library and doing research, keep everyone's head in the dark.
