They have hijacked the word apostasy in the same way that they have hijacked the name Jehovah and the bible in general.
Just because you hijack something it does not mean that you own it.
They have their own fantasy world I am sure.

50Apostasy my ass!
by Glander inlet's call it what it is - disagreeing with the watchtower bible and tract society after baptism into the cult.
in no way is the literal definition of the word "apostasy" applicable to what the cult is using the word for.
it is a buzz word that scares the crap out of the rank and file and keeps them from communicating with those who have become enlightened about the cults lies.. we here on jwn have accepted the wt label, "apostates", with a sense of humor, such as calling our get togethers apostafests, etc.. but we are actually the "enlightened"..

Well, it's an unscriptural teaching anyway so why should any of it make sense?
In truth, I'm not sure I ever really bought this teaching 100 percent which is mad because everything else revolves around it.
Fool that I am!!!

The idea of global warming led to carbon tax.
And many people have made and continue to make vast sums of money from it.
Surprised the WT$ didn't cash in on it.
It's not like them to miss a trick!

2005 - The year the Society began its decline (without anyone noticing)!
by cedars ini've just finished an article for randy over on freeminds.org, which i've submitted to him for review.
hopefully it should be online soon, so please keep checking!.
the article discusses the fact that the watch tower society is already in decline, and suggests the year 2005 as the turning point.

Well folks, for generations (literal ones, not pretend, made up ones) they have been telling us that they are the only religion that preaches the good news.
If what is discussed in this thread is true then that day has come because the WTBT$'$ demise really is GOOD NEWS!!!
Luvin it.

Yes, as with all WT articles, that made perfect sense to me. A clear and concise, no nonsense article full of nourishing, upbuilding spiritual food served up at the proper time.
How apreciative we are for such wonderful provisions.

People leave the Org but don't drop the doctrine?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthis deserved its own thread.
one thing i have observed being able to speak freely to individuals now about the wtbts is that even though they fade, they hold one to all or a portion of the doctrine.. if you examine the doctrine openly and fully you will see it has as many holes in it as the org does.
although it may appeal to you it doesn't make it sound scripturally.

This is the real tester. To leave physically is one thing but to completely deprogramme oneself is something that, sadly, many will not achieve. I personally know some really lovely ex JW$ who just can't get the last dregs of doctrine out of their system.
It took me a few years even after reading Ray Franz's books and others. I'm not a hasty person.
After all this time though, I can honestly say that the whole kit and kaboodle is just a load of dogs bollocks and will never come to anything.
I really believe that and so I put my money where my mouth is.
It's all just an elaborate, artfully contrived scam. Keep on seeking truth and you will know that to be true.
I'd like to see it burn!!!
Anybody got a light?

It affords inadequate men of no recognition or talent the opportunity to gain respect and prominence being surrounded by mindless, subservient morons.
I've seen it so many times before and know it to be true.

No answer to this one!
by truthseeker1969 inas many of you know my brother an elder was called on to sit in a "judicial committee" re-instatement.. the brother has in the past done all he can to prove he is repentant but this time the co was here and apparently had a few things to say to the cobe when they were discussing the process.
the co asked why the poor guy had four re-instatement hearings and why the co had received a letter from him detailing that he "did not think he could do anymore".. anyway, long story short, the co sat in the hearing and hey presto the brother was re-instated.
my brother and the co spoke with the brother and the co said that he had done well and was sorry that the process has taken so long and shook his hand.. now he mentioned the latest letter about confidentiality and said that the society is being hit left right and center with civil lawsuits and are scared as the have no way of defending them.

Good point truthseeker.
It's just a shame that we ever allowed the filthy bloody cult over here in the UK at all.
It should be dumped in the nearest shit hole where it belongs.
Sorry, it's been getting to me lately.
