Simple, yet telling explanation of why the Governing Body view themselves as ultimate. (With their own words)
by MC RubberMallet inin 1 corinthians 7, paul continuously makes plain that he was speaking his own opinion:.
(1corinthians7:12-16)12 but to the others i say, yes, i, not the lord: if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her; 13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and yet he is agreeable to dwelling with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 for the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to [his] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would really be unclean, but now they are holy.

Disfellowshipping/dissassociating vs. fading?
by lostinthought inok, advise needed my friends!
the idea of fading sounds really nice to me and i would love to do it, but i'm just a big "chicken" and can't bring myself to stop all the jw nonsense.
i continue going to meetings and service out of some sort of fear, i know if i start missing too many people will be bothering me with phone calls and visits and such and they will sucker me into toing back.

Were you afraid of "apostates"?
by everchangingworld ini remember hearing rumblings of a few that had gone "apostate" and feeling absolute dread of the dark world they had stepped into.
i would re-double my studying efforts.
to me, "apostates" had gone over into the "dark side".

BREAKING NEWS: Watchtower's Charitable Status UNDER THREAT in Britain !
by raymond frantz inthere is an article today in daily mail one of the largest uk newspapers about the plymouth brethren that should worry every thinking jehovah's witness.. the charities commision in britain is threatening the charitable status of a small offshoot of the aglican church the plymouth brethren .the reason ?
they don't perform enough charitable work for their local community .
at a time where the tax avoidance of large businesses such as google ,ebay,amazon and starbucks is under serious question in britain ,the charities commision's investigation into this little church's charitable status comes as no surprise .the 2006 charities act forced charities, often at high cost, to 'demonstrate' value to society .so far being a christian church automatically exempt you off taxes ,this is not the case anymore .

Normal Anointed?
by Unbrainwashed publisher1 inhas anyone ever met a professed anointed partaker that was normal?
i mean for a considerable amount of time, not just in audience listening to a talk?
no offense to any professed partakers on here, but the ones i have spent time with have all seemed a little off has that been your experience?.
