  excommunication/disfellowshipping is pagan practice!--by request!

  request from researcher: hi atlantis or n. or whoever!

  one of my friends on the board said that she downloaded the 1947 awake pdf that "bereanbiblestudent and invetigator 74" posted, and in the first issue on page 26, it said that excommunication or disfellowshipping was a pagan practice.

  Maybe we could get in touch with a big newspaper and tell them the way Serena's religion would treat her if she was not a celebrity/baptised.

  Are you now involved in a different religion or structured group?

  by feenx in

  i was browsing another post where wtwizard implied membership in another group, and was asked what it was.

  that got me thinking...since coming out the society, has anyone embraced another organized religion or group, public or secret?

  if so, what is it, and what made you join and continue membership?

  Ban The Internet

  by megs in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the thought occurred to me that if post-secondary education is to be avoided, why would the wts not make a similar stance about the internet?

  all dubs in good standing should burn their books and their computers... really, the internet has great propensity to open people's minds and expose them to different ideas and viewpoints.

  in itself it doesn't promote critical thinking, but it certainly offers fodder for thought and expression.

  Well long term they have a choice: change doctrines or ban the internet.
  
  Banning the internet would cut them off from the world to such an extent that they wouldn't be able to recruit and they'd die out, or at the very least move to areas of the world without internet access. Changing doctrines is the natural choice I guess.

  Modern Bibles - The Judgement - Part V

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the judgment it is important to realize that we are not now living in a period of time known as judgment day as the watchtower teaches.

  by them placing christ's coming in 1914 they can conveniently teach that we have been living in a sort of judgnent day since that time; and of course the judgment is swayed one way or another by how people respond to wt literature.

  however, this doesnt mean that there will be no judgment as the politically correct new age do-gooders teach either.
