i am having a conversation with a jw and they say you can not be disfellowshiped for this.
is this true?
i thought you can be disfellowshiped for this.
I remember overhearing a weird conversation in another congregation years ago.
Sister 1: I've got a talk with you next week.
Sister 2: okay let's meet up to practise, what's it about?
Sister 1: it's something about apostates.
Sister 2: okay that's fine, I've read that book by Raymond Franz the big apostate, so I know all about that.
Sister 1: okay where will we meet up.
a growing discourse on this forum has been around what "the end" means.
as jws, many here spent varying proportions of our lives waiting for the end when an unsettling realization was that the end that approaches is more likely to be from old age than the world's end.
through the centuries, group after group, has claimed it has "inside" information on the end of the world, drawing in the desperate-for-comfort like moths to flames.

And yes.
only in the uk.. a woman who was worried her jehovah's witness husband was cheating set him up and then watched in horror as he was seduced after knocking on someone's door.
the honeytrap was laid for the suspicious wife with the help of youtubers to catch a cheater.
they arranged for an actress to wait at one of the houses on the husband's outreach round and try to seduce him.
About as reliable as a Watchtower article on neo-Babylonian chrnonology.
in this picture from the latest watchtower, what in the world is the guy watching on the left side of the picture??
it looks like a female vampire holding a lightsaber.
am i missing something?.
If it was the witch of Endor they'd approve and make it a feature on JW broadcasting,
spoonfed nomore, has uploaded a video on his youtube site, of exjw activists protesting inside a kingdom hall during this sunday meeting.
several people speak out.
if some one can put a link on here that would be awesome, i can’t figure out how to do it with an i phone.

Luke 14:28 For example, who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers would start to ridicule him,
However, if you ask me, completing a project that is no longer necessary is just as foolish, or more foolish than failing to complete one.
let the reader use discernment:.
i was disfellowshipped in june of last year.
while i've been awake for nearly a year, i still often feel groggy.
I guess I'll use my imagination.
it was the paragraph talking about people who don't want to be j.w's being executed, and it being an act of compassion from jehovah towards his witnesses..
executing them will be an appropriate expression of God’s compassion for the righteous, whom he will preserve.
Charming little comment right there.
Plus "appropriate" is one of their favourite words. They consider themselves the world experts on what is "appropriate", from when it's "appropriate" to ignore family members to when is an "appropriate" time for God to act. I'd like to do a search of WT literature for "appropriate" occurrences. They are especially good at telling God what is appropriate.
How would we ever know what is appropriate without Watchtower to tell us?
i recently watched a video about a kingdom hall demonstration from a link on this site, and in the comments on youtube somebody said this: .
i understand that the "apostate" activity this week has caused the wt/gb to change the content of the november jwbroadcasting episode and will delay its release until they can figure out how to spin this activity.. .
has anybody heard of this or is there any truth to this?
Splane is the most wooden presenter imaginable.
The later speaker says:
"The apostates are talking about, the media has picked it up, others have also picked it up..."
I wonder who he means, "others have also picked it up" apart from "apostates" and the "media". The Australian Royal Commission, maybe? Or maybe he didn't have anything in particular in mind. Just a sentence filler. JW speakers have a distinctive way of speaking that is especially devoid of actual information.

Didn't I read somewhere that they're going to dig a hole in the ground and store the machines down there in case they need them again later? Maybe that was a dream.
