Organization non-members ARE approved by God
by YoursChelbie indoes the bible contain accounts of persons who, while not active members of "organized" religion have god's appoval?
if it does, this would contradict watchtower teaching, since they often claim that anyone who's not a baptized member of their organization will suffer destruction.
further they claim that only active members of their "organization" have god's approval.

Simon, You Are Very Welcome!
by YoursChelbie ini've been posting for a little over a month and i honestly feel that my transition from "nominal jw" into the "real world" would not have been as smooth (or fun) were it not for this forum!
i clicked on the tiny, credit card logo on the top right corner and made a small contribution to help our friend simon with the monthly maintenance of this forum.

Search and Seizure of WTS Pedo-FILES
by YoursChelbie inbarbara anderson gave her first hand account that there are many names and details of pedophiles' criminal activities inside wts headquarters.
many victims have come forward to say that the very pedophiles who victimized them are out on the streets.
so, what more is needed for the authorities to get a hold of those criminals that the wts is harboring?

Does Disfellowshipping violate the Constitution?
by YoursChelbie inmaybe this is just my observation but.... with the exception of crimal offenses, is not disfellowshiping by the wts unconstitutional?
