Disfellowshipping by Jehovah’s Witnesses: A Brief History - Great article
by defender of truth indespite the governing bodys best efforts, members do leave the faith.
the governing body insists there is no valid reason for leaving the religion.
in fact, their brand new brochure, return to jehovah, lists only three reasons why someone might leave the religion: misplaced guilt, being mad at a witness, and being busy with life.. but of course, there are several valid reasons for walking away from the faith, all of which are much more damning than the sanitized reasons the watchtower society lists.

Despite the Governing Body’s best efforts, members do leave the faith. The Governing Body insists there is no valid reason for leaving the religion.
In fact, their brand new brochure, Return to Jehovah, lists only three reasons why someone might leave the religion: misplaced guilt, being mad at a Witness, and being busy with life.
But of course, there are several valid reasons for walking away from the faith, all of which are much more damning than the sanitized “reasons” the Watchtower Society lists.
This includes cover-up of child abuse, the Witnesses’ refusal to accept large chunks of accepted science and history, and their refusal to admit any biblical interpretation — however slight — that differs from their official doctrine. With so many reasons for leaving, it’s almost a wonder that the religion has any members left… almost.
In order to ensure the faithful stay faithful, the Watchtower Society maintains a policy of shunning dissenting members. It’s a process called disfellowshipping.
...James Zimmerman‘s essays have appeared in The Humanist, Atheist Voices of Minnesota, and The St. Paul Almanac. He is also a frequent host of the Twin Cities-based cable TV show Atheists Talk. This post is an edited version of a paper he presented at the National Conference of Undergraduate Research last spring.

Jehovah said he will start the cleaning from his own house
by Tempest in a Teacup inthis very popular quote came back to my mind today when i was thinking about what jws in the third world country where i live would do if they should hear about the australian abuse story.
this has been the one explains-it-all, excuses-it-all phrase to respond to nasty things going on in "god's house".. if they should hear about the story, they would just nod, say that phrase and add the sentence that traditionally accompanies it: it is because he is well aware that there are rotten elements in his house, so we shouldn't be surprised...and then they will move on with merrily.
end of story.

Not good enough. Don't let them get away with it.
Quite simply, if Jehovah is clearing house.. Why are they not repentant?
Why are they not accepting the discipline and making the necessary changes?
www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/422980002/jehovah-using-royal-commission-ok-lets-work-that
If it is Jehovah correcting them at this time, and not simply an organisation being shown up for how harmful it can be..
Why does this statement by part of the Faithful Slave reveal that they are NOT going to accept correction?

joe134cd - Am I pro Watchtower?
It is a bit of a silly question, but never mind ;)
Would I be posting an article like this, even assuming you haven't felt like reading any of my other topics I started?
I did come on here defending the Watchtower 2 years ago:
www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/275576/active-jws-can-you-defend-truth?size=10&page=3
But people change. ;)

@Diogenessister
Have you tried making a note of the posts of that you can't read, then downloading UC Browser and using that to read them?
I never had any problem until I used Chrome..
Still need to know if my posts are readable to everyone using Chrome, though, otherwise I may as well stop posting.
