    "Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun family members who cease their association with their brothers and sisters. Each one has the freedom to decide what he or she will believe, and we do not interfere with the conscience of any individual, nor restrict their right to exercise faith as they see fit. Congregation elders routinely endeavor to encourage those who have withdrawn from Jehovah and lovingly invite them to return to the congregation. Such heartfelt action on their part is further evidence of the love that exists amongst Jehovah's Witnesses."

    Written like a true WT writer. Good job. And just like in real WTspeak...it says absolutely nothing about what repurcussions there actually are for in public, manifesting his religion or belief that does not adhere to WT dogma.

    The worst and most deadly attribute of POWER is this. Those over whom such power is exerted crave consistency of application!

    Mere human power is inconsistent because humans play favorites and suffer prejudices, ignorance and emotionalism.

    The Watchtower is everything that human power manifests in its weaknesses and none of the things we expect of divine power in its strenghts:

    consistent, impartially fair and loving.

    Wow!

    I think this could be a very important tool of teaching and repudiating JW's.

    Present them with this quote and ask them, True or False, if it accurately represents the Society's teachings:

    "Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun family members who cease their association with their brothers and sisters. Each one has the freedom to decide what he or she will believe, and we do not interfere with the conscience of any individual, nor restrict their right to exercise faith as they see fit. Congregation elders routinely endeavor to encourage those who have withdrawn from Jehovah and lovingly invite them to return to the congregation. Such heartfelt action on their part is further evidence of the love that exists amongst Jehovah's Witnesses. (John 13:35)"

    Obviously, replying "False" sets them up to have to explain the invidious reasons ( why?)

    Honoring Human Rights Day

    On this day in 1948, the United Nations adopted a universal set of human rights that apply to all of us. We honor this milestone towards creating a more free and equal world.

    @ ab.ortega...

    Ah, but didn't you know?

    The UN is the "Wild Beast" of Revelation and Satan's servant, so the WTS and loyal JWs automaticlly have to do the opposite of whatever the UN does...
