Religious Hate Crimes
by Spade injehovah's witnesses derived their policy of excommunication from 1 corinthians 5:9-13, a small fraction of religious text compared to the overall compendium of religious books that the world's religions revolve around.
in my letter i wrote you to quit mixing in company with fornicators, not [meaning] entirely with the fornicators of this world or the greedy persons and extortioners or idolaters.
otherwise, you would actually have to get out of the world.

1932-1971 how was the congregation run?
by pirata inthe arrangement for body of elders and deacons / minsisterial servants existed pre-1932 (democratically elected) and post-1971 ("theocratically" appointed).. are there any here who remembers how things were run from 1932-1971?
i see mention of the "congregation overseer" and a committee of men to carry out his instructions, but not too clear on much beyond this.
did the congregatino overseer pretty much run the show and make all the decisions?

Cult...Cult...Cult...Cult!
by Cold Steel init seems that many people on this board get a certain amount of glee calling the jehovah's witness faith a "cult.
" especially former jehovah's witnesses.
and though it's true in a number of senses, we must be conscious of the fact that the early christians were considered by nearly everyone in roman and jewish society as a cult.
