  the current interpretation of scripture - can't they see how wrong this sounds?

  The scripture is the scripture and it does not chance. Unless their doctrine that changes every other month ...

  Exactly my thoughts. Tell them about things is the Bible they do not take into account or don't believe the way it is written and u get labeled as apostate and disfellowshiped.

  Jackson was lying about the inactive, about the shunning and the disfellowshiped and dissasociated people.

  He was just trying to confuse the comission who do not know clearly the difference between dissasociation disfellowship and inactive.

  Probably only Mr. Steward understood the differences. All others who watch were just further confused on this issue after hearing Jackson.

  What a lair and fake, this Jackson ...

  He said a few times: that is nut my field ... are u kidding me? The GB field is being masters of other people's faith and conscience.

  When asked if they consider themselves the spokespersons for God, jackson says it would be quite presomptuous to say they are spokespersons of God, but they DO say they are the only channel of communication of God on earth

  For the scripture in timothy that says that women can not have authority or teach, here is a more sound explanation of what Paul meant.

  there is high pressure to unofficially shun faders who are known to live a lifestyle that doesn't comply with JW rules.

  I'd say they also shun faders who don't do anything that doesn't comply with jw rules.

  I am not disfellowshiped but shunned, though the only thing I do different of them is researching the Bible out of more sources of information.

  Since this year's commemoration I've been to perhaps 2 meetings.

  But even before, I was skipping more and more during the last year or so. Sometimes I was going to one meeting in a month.

  They gave me 2 assignments in school, but 2 weeks before the assignment I told them I can not make it.

  I've only been contacted by the elder to whom I was suppose to give the preaching report.

  And I only have contact with one person from the organization, a friend to whom I also told my concerns.

  I don't know is memorial attendance means something.

  People come out of curiosity. I am sure most find it very strange that almost no one partakes.

  matthew 24:45-47: who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.".

  the same with the little flock - Jesus was speaking with the 12

  Also in Luke 22:29, where jw's read "covenant for a kingdom", no other translation has the word "covenant" there.

  The disciples were fighting who would be the greatest, and Jesus calmed them down: don't worry, my Father gave me the kingdom, and I assign it to you, the 12 of you will judge the 12 tribes of Israel.

  And if you look in revelation chapter 21 or 22, the new Jerusalem has 12 gates with the apostles' names on each of them.

  But the JW's say that God took the kingdom from the Jews to give it to them ... would God exchange some pharisees for other pharisees?
