A City Having Real Foundations.

2. bible
someone asked me recently when did i start to have doubts as an elder about what i was teaching from the platform.. i have given it a lot of thought and i can say that it was when i was delivering a public talk about the book of hebrews.

so i paused and read it again.. i looked at the audience and said to them let's look at the cross-reference for this verse which is hebrews 12:22 and i read that verse.

after which i remember saying "and this is how the outline puts it.... " and i read from the outline verbatim.. abraham was not looking forward to an earthly kingdom hope.

Why disfellowship must be eliminated for the survival of the WT itself
by TheScientist in

2. beliefs
this topic i digress about why the watchtower relaxing the rules of disfellowship is essential for its survival.

many things i'm going to say are not my ideas, some are, the point is, i'm condensing everything in a logical and concise way.. the first thing we have to keep in mind is that the wt's main objective in instituting disfellowship has always been not to lose members because of the damage that a dissident could do, or to avoid gaining new members because of the bad reputation of a confessed sinner in the his/her region.

in the end, the more active members, the more money to the coffers.. in this case of disfellowship due to apostasy, to avoid any spark, texts were sought out of context that even prohibited saying "hi".

with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

in my mind these are the results;.

1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

hello folks,.

i have other news.. i had seen in the brazilian forum that un had removed the document that speaks about the disaffiliation of the watchtower to it.. however, what really happened was the restructuring of the website, which caused the linkto got invalid... follow the official link of the document directly from the website of the un:.

Official link of the Agreement between the Watchtower and Bulgaria

hello folks,.

fortunately, i'm able to have a frank conversation with my brother and he, who was already showing some doubts about the organization, got visibly upset when he saw the videos about bulgaria and onu ... .

especially about the bulgaria case, he said that perhaps the document could not be authentic, but invented .. i was speechless, because although i'm sure, i never found any official evidence unless the note published in the jw-media or others "apostate" sites.. finally, after searching, i found the official link of the decision of the european court of human rights in bulgaria case, where the watchtower clearly says not to apply any form of control or sanction for members who opt to choose medical treatment contrary to the doctrines of jehovah's witnesses in order to obtain legal recognition as a religion in the country (prostituting like babylon the great).. linkfrom the official websiteof the european courtof human rights bellow:.

The latest on blood

so the local elders where i live recently had a big meeting with the hlc elders and i got a brief summary of what was said.

thought i'd share.. it seems the jws aren't capable of making a decision based on their personal conscience.

they are confused by the whole fraction thing and end up refusing the lot 'just in case' or accepting some and refusing others making them look like idiots.
