Unsolicited advice for PIMO JWs who live in anguish and fear
by Roger Kirkpatrick inbefore one who belongs to another religion can become a jw, one must officially resign from one’s former church in writing.
many who left their family religion to become a jw have been disowned by their families.
of course, jws consider this to be persecution.

What Views or Beliefs Do Jehovah’s Witnesses No Longer Teach?
by minimus inevidently they have changed their creative day from being 7000 years per day.
all blood transfusions were taboo but now blood fractions might be allowed to be taken into the body.
vaccinations were sinful at one time but not now.. can you name other views or beliefs that have changed from being considered “truth” to no longer “the truth “?.

by redpilltwice init's been a while (and for good "theocratic" reasons ) but everything is fine.. i have a question regarding the infamous awake!
article (see title) that stated that excommunication as adopted by catholicism was pagan (already known to 'superstitious' greeks and druids) and foreign to bible teachings... i have it in english but does anyone have the original dutch text or even better, the dutch article?
would be great for activism within my target group.

phillipians 2 :9-11. in the new testament ,( cgs ) jesus christ is never recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. " " none of the apostles are ever recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. " " none of his disciples are ever recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. the new testament ,christian greek scriptures are all about bearing witness about jesus christ and after his time of bringing back people under his kingdom will he turn then it back over to his father, a thousand years when his rule is finished.. that is the message of the"kingdom interlinear of the christian greek scriptures" published by the wtb&ts ,says..
