when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.
i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.
i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.
What prevents JWs from getting that same federal money and actually helping people?
What do you mean?? Money, hospitals, schools, food banks, soup kitchens, orphanages ... those things don't REALLY help people dubstepped. The good news in the publications, that's what truly helps.
will you be joining the celebrations on saturday 22nd september, 2018?.

check the usual exjw channels for info....
I'm guessing he's referring to this? https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5561382603849728/oktoberfest-exjw-community-saturday-22nd-september-2018

FedUp nailed the watchtower letter formatting perfectly
all through my life, now in my 40's, i've seen df people get completely shunned by family and friends, but an ex elder showed me the stfog book that says it's just spiritual contact that stops.
so what's the crack?
i'm mega confused, as i want to go p.o.m.o or ideally da but don't want to loose family..
^^^StephaneLaliberte nailed it. That is the current shunning protocol.
excellent video from theramin tree's.
it's funny that we can relate entirely to the jw's in this.

former governing body assistant howie tran has shared his bethel vow of poverty contract.
it reads rather culty.
i think clause number 9 is particularly worrying...to adhere to, not the bible alone, but also the watchtower literature and the governing body.
I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about pillows in that list.
i would like as many people that can, to respond to this appeal as i am sure their are many examples out their that may help lurkers and fence sitters to make a decision on where they stand regarding the "truth".
i look forward to your comments either negative or plus..
You are talking nonsense. As per my last post you will see that DPIs also need to agree with and accept the UN charter, which has been said here 100x outlines the UN's role for peace and security.

All NGOs aren’t even the same? Why are you ignoring this? Does it matter?
Yes, WT was a DPI NGO. They too need to "share the principles of the UN Charter" and have a "demonstrated interest in the United Nations"... https://jwfacts.com/images/united-nations-2004-p1.jpg
Again, the principles that you yourself admit "violated their beliefs" were there from the very beginning and continued each successive year afterward in which they voluntarily renewed their membership.

You said that once already, and you’re wrong. The WT thanked the guardian for bringing the NGO changes to its attention in the 2001 letter, changes that violate their beliefs, and they withdrew.
There were no "NGO changes". There was nothing new brought to the attention of Watchtower. The criteria for NGO membership were the same in 1991 as they were in 2002. The same factors that you yourself admit "violate their beliefs" were at play in 1991.

An individual JW is free to have affiliation with any organization he wants, granted his association does not require a violation of his beliefs.
...and any affiliation with the UN indeed is a "violation of his beliefs", as has been outlined repeatedly here. If it weren't the case, WT would not have disconnected itself as soon as the public found out.
You are doing great exJW work here Doubter. Thank you!
