  1947 Awake Says Excommunication is Unbiblical and Pagan!

  by Ding in

  january 8, 1947 awake!:.

  excommunication is "altogether foreign to biblical teachings.".

  it's an unbiblical roman catholic teaching by which "you are looked upon with the blackest contempt... being cursed and damned with the devil and his angels.".

  This is a big deal. I had some success in sharing this article with a loved one. They were stunned to see that the Society once condemned a practice that they now strongly promote. The WTS is truly condemned with their own words.

  What is comical about it is, the 1947 article says that the scriptures commonly used to justify excommunication such as Matt. 18:15-19; 1 Cor. 5:3-5, 16:22 really can't be used to support the practice. Today those scripitures are the "biblical" basis for the practice of disfellowshipping. Bottom line is these clowns will twist the scriptures to support whatever the hell they want. It is all interpretation.

  If you are active and fading, or are DF'ed please share the article with any you speak with. It will plant a seed.

  last year this was brought up and it was a great idea but maybe a bit too late.

  do you remember the "secret signal" that was going to be used?

  it should not be mentioned in the main thread, only through email and pms.

  If the WT dumped 1914 tommorow ...?

  by faithfulslavedriver in

  this is my first post here.

  i've been a lurker for awhile but had no particular desire to join until the other day.. anyways, do you think that if wt decided to face the fact that 607-1914 is an indefensible pile of crap that has been artificially kept steaming for way too long, would it really kick off a mass exodus or anything?

  in the short term the fds/gb might lose some authority, but they are hemorrhaging people anyways keeping it around (607 started me on the road to this place).. if wt stopped talking about 1914 for awhile then later killed it, blaming it on "further research" or something, and acknowledged some uncertainty in 607/587, i really doubt that very many of the r&f would think much about it.

  Welcome! They are going to have to do something. The rotten teaching of 1914 and 607 is the foundation of the entire organization. Once it is wiped out they won't have any way to say that jesus selected them as the FDS and one true religion.

  Hi Ms. Growing Girl.

  I know where you are coming from. It is the toughest thing I have ever done to come to grips with this fact.... The organization is not directed by God or his spirit. It is just another man made organization that has done a great job of using the scriptures to their own benefit. There are many reasons I do not believe anymore but the single biggest for me is that Holy Spirit cannot inspire false prophecy.

  Its tough to swallow because like you, my whole life I had been confident that I had the truth and everyone else was wrong. Now I have to start over from scratch and sift through my knowledge and feelings to determine what is real or manufactured.

  Honestly I am ok with that because now I will make choices and analyze information for myself and come to a personal conclusion that is not influenced by any twisted frame of reference based on my background in the religion or by social pressures from my friends and family in the religion.

  Hang in there Sis.

  likely most poeple feel that they at times can and should be both , that is a teacher or a student.

  i know i have learned and gained much insight into many things here.. but most often.

  fail to make acknowledgement... not sure why i guess i hate for a person to feel i am flattering them or kissing up.

  Not representatives of the society? You report your hours to the society, the branch formally appoints pioneers and elders.

  How is it possible that you can be formally appointed by an entity and yet not be a representative of the same entity?

  Random thoughts about the organization. In 20 years.....

  many people will scoff at the thought that the org will collapse.

  i agree that it will never collapse but the crumbling has begun.

  think about the following.....they have a serious lack of potential future leaders.
