Pioneering- A social event?
by freedom96 ini was never a pioneer, so i don't know.
i am just guessing from the ones i knew, and by their actions.
the posting a little while ago about pioneers who were on welfare made me think of this.. i wonder how many pioneered simply for the social aspect of it, compared to how many really felt it in their heart.. here is an example to think about.

Logically, the DA'd should not be shunned!
by metatron inif the bible sez that shunning applies to "anyone called a brother" who engages in serious sin,.
then logically, if a person made clear to everyone - congregation, neighbors and community - that he is.
not one of jw's, no shunning would apply - over and above any 'worldly person'.. likewise, it would not apply to any df'd person either - if they made clear they are no longer a jw in any way.. of course, such logic cannot be grasped by the watchtower - who would voluntarily submit to their dominance.

Help - how to reason from 'best out there'?
by Xander inokay, another discussion with the brother.
he did mention i was a bad influence, but, feh, he still talks and listens a little, so i'm not too worried.. i've got him whittled down to - "if nothing else, at least this org tries to follow the bible the closest, every other religion has serious flaws.".
this is kind of a hard one to beat, as, in the end, what the society says is generally quite good and positive.
