How many JW's are doing bad things each year worthy of being DF'd?

by dissed in

for a religious group that claims to be above reproach, with a self proclaimed, excellent reputation for godliness, i don't feel that claim is quite true.. in fact, i think its a sham to make those assertions.

they trully should not feel they are different from any organized group, when it comes to its members following righteous standards.

true, the wt would like all to believe they are clean and morally straight, that they are different and not tainted from the world.

So many.You can never be sure.

What percentage of JWs have been disfellowshipped?

by JWoods in

i was just thinking about people i knew - and i come up with around 15% who were disfellowshipped.

some got re-instated, some left for good, i even know a few who were disfellowshipped more than once.

it may be even higher than that - certainly it is pretty common in jwland.. i know that other religions have a theoretical state of disfellowshipping - the catholics have excommunication, for example.

XPeterX

40.000-50.000 disfellowships every year of which only 1/3 get reinstated.

Have you ever considered completely abandoning the people in the so-called "Truth"

by gubberningbody in

they seem quite content to do that to you.

why not just let them live their futile, dysfunctional lives and let time be the judge?.

Have you ever considered completely abandoning the people in the so-called "Truth"

Yes.And I WILL do it when the times comes.

How does GOVERNING BODY receive "NEW LIGHT"?

by UnDisfellowshipped in

just how does the governing body of jehovah's witnesses receive their "insight" or "understanding" of the bible, in order to publish this "spiritual food at the proper time" in their watchtower and awake magazines and all their books?.

let's find out -- from their own publications -- exactly how this happens:.

"spirits of the dead" brochure (1991), page 18:.
