A JW can be disfellowshipped for "conduct not becoming of a christain", so considering the Fact that you can't ask questions when the annoucement is made, I suppose it leaves room that the BOE can DF you whatever they like.

Can a JW be disfellowshipped because of "Materialism"?
by JH inkeeping in mind these verses below:.
for we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out.
8 so, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things.

Do you know of gross mistranslations in the JW Bible (NWT)
by greendawn infor all you that have studied the subject what are some big distortions of the original scriptures hebrew and greek, that are to be found in the jw bible (nwt)?
i found that at 1 thessalonians 4:15-17 it says that the living christians in the final days will be snatched up as soon as the dead ones get resurrected.
that blows up the jw belief that the said resurrection occured in 1918 because they weren't taken up at the same time.

In my experience I wouldn't say that they have gross Subtle mistranslations of the bible, but like satan who according to the WTS themselves is a master of deception, they have lots of subtle difference's in there translation, subtle but very Significant, with just a simple verb or noun here or there they change the whole meaning of the verse. I do know of some but there are web sites that list them.

Is jesus birthday year wrong?
by Smoky inyou guys probably heard this before, but it is a 1st for me.. i was watching some of the jesus/christmas history documentaries over the holidays, and for the most part it was the information i heard before in documentaries, but then bam!!,.
it is said that the 'person/church' who calculated the year jesus was born, are off by 3 to 7 years....wow.. have any of you heard this before?.
so, does that mean the whole 1914 calculation is messed up?.

not wanting to change the subject, 1914 is based on the date when Jerusalem was destroyed, which the WTS claim is was 607bc, Charles Russel claimed it was 606bc, the dream about the tree being chopped down written in the book of Daniel is then interpreted as giving the years about 2520 years which when counted comes to 1914. It bypass's Jesus birthdate completely, it has nothing to do with it at all. Don’t you guys ever read your Watchtowers? Shame on you !

Jesus birthday is wrong, and the watchtower also claims this, but his birthday has nothing to do with the 606/607/1914 thingy.

I think the importance of Great Sex is very over-rated, like money, it don't buy happeness, and by the way, I am 46yo, I would never thought I had said this when I was in my 20's ! I do feel sorry for younger ones who feel that great sex will bring them happeness.

Wifey and I have known each other for 7 years and have being married for 5 years, she stills holds close at nights, so signs of an itch yet. One important thing is to be able to laugh at ourselves and never be selfish, doing 'little' things for each other. But maybe in 2 years time I'll be writing the same thing...hehe Hope not. I also have 2 teenage step-daughters. gasp!!!!!!

Every religion seems to need martyrs. Even when the “truth” was my own I wished that I would never be put to that test, so I don’t know what I would’ve done if death was my only choice, but what I have noticed was that when some unfortunate individual was put in that position they are always surround by elders and other “brothers” pushing them into not taking blood, reminding them how they will die at Armageddon if they take blood and that God will raise them in paradise if they die now. So I really wonder how many were really pushed to that decision, were they really making a free choice? The few times that any member of my family were booked into hospital I just told them we were Christian and didn’t mention JW’s, I told my wife that if we tell them we are JW’s we’ll have the elders on our backs making sure we don’t take blood.
