Found this in my RSS feed of, as new FAQ on jw.org:
The answer was
"Yes. A person can resign from our organization in two ways:
By formal request. Either orally or in writing, a person can state his decision that he no longer wants to be known as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
By action. A person can take an action that places him outside our worldwide brotherhood. (1 Peter 5:9) For example, he might join another religion and make known his intention to remain part of it.—1 John 2:19.
What if a person no longer preaches or attends your meetings? Do you view that person as having resigned?
No, we do not. Resigning, or disassociating oneself, is different from becoming weak in faith. Often, those who for a time slow down or stop in their worship have not abandoned their faith but are suffering from discouragement. Rather than shunning such ones, we try to give them consolation and support. (1 Thessalonians 5:14; Jude 22) If the person wants help, congregation elders take the lead in providing spiritual assistance.—Galatians 6:1; 1 Peter 5:1-3.
However, the elders are not authorized to coerce or pressure someone to remain as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Each person makes his own choice regarding religion. (Joshua 24:15) We believe that those who worship God must do so willingly, from the heart.—Psalm 110:3;Matthew 22:37."
The interesting part they make it sound as if it is an easy thing to be done without any issues. Yes you can leave if you want at any time. They have hidden the fact that this means you lose the community, friends and family.
In a sneaky way they mention the shunning, but for someone new who is hearing about the practice and researching, he will see that these guys are normal and alow you to change your mind! WRONG, 4th paragraph states half way through it states: "Rather than shunning [spiritually weak] ..." so spiritually weak are not shunned but the ones who decide to leave are shunned.
This FAQ should include the following:
Yes, a person can resign from our organization in two way in which both result in shunning:
This is very good piece of PR.

Found this on social media. I understand the feeling having someone reinstates especially after 16 years. But why did they have to suffer this long. And at the end they thank jehovah for being merciful!? The only people decided his fate are local elders.

I play sometimes when jackpot is high. But thinking of getting on it regularly. This will be offset from my KH contributions. At least in the UK the some of the lottery funding goes to good cause. -

Very true. It is so annoying and disgusting. I bet she got brownie points at the local KH or maybe she will get an appearance on JW TV.
The first picture is interesting:
She is standing with a raised head, show of strength or something. While Obama is head down, sorry for the loss!
She is there to advertise not respect.

CHILD BAPTISM
by megabyte_vijay init is strange to read the last week watchtower that encouraging child/teenagers' baptism.
even jesus was baptised as his 30. jws encouraging marriages at an older age.
but why they are encouraging children to get baptised.
-

Da.Furious
Technically they did not encourage child baptism. The article was how to make sure you are ready to be baptized. There was some advice mentioned on how to make sure the child is ready.
But what they failed to show is the examples they gave were not for children they were for youth. This group if for 15 -25 year old.
Unfortunately for every single JW family with children this article was playing on driving the children to ask the questions and think they are ready.
Although they mention it was a really important decision, one fact they forgot to mention if you take the decision to get baptized and later sin there is no way back. Like taking the red pill.

i can't comment on this topic on either of my devices or multiple browsers.. so we're shutting down topics now are we?
i'm assuming you've disabled commenting due to your feeling that it's a troll.

TBH, Simon can identify IP addresses and when accounts get created. Some users have been known to create multiple accounts and troll or fake stories.
