  WT Flip-Flops on Jesus’ Inspection… Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?

  by Alfred in

  2. bible

  this is utterly ridiculous.... .

  the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.

  it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

  I guess the final verdict is that the year was 1918 and that they PASSED inspection ???

  I ran into an active JW...surprised

  so as you all know, i have fully faded...i'm completely out and have not told the elders or da myself...just faded 100%.... so i run into an active jw, different congregation, and as i walk past him i say, "hey so and so, how are you doing?

  "....he looks down, doesnt dare look at me in the eyeball and keeps walking...then a split second later he turns around and says, hey man, aren't yuo disfellowshipped?....

  i was like wtf?...lol, i said "not that i know of"...i asked him who told him such thing?...he wouldnt tell me who, but he had "heard"...so i just left it at that and told him if he wants to know then to contact my ex-elders.... my thing is, could the elders have df'ed me without me knowing it?...i have not been accused of their so called "apostasy", nor have i received a letter requesting info or to set up a meeting, nor a call...the coordinating elder (formally president/presiding overseer) still texts me all the time saying hi etc...no religious texts or anything like that).

  by suavojr in

  in the english congregations they used to announce that brother x has been disfellowshipped.

  but in the spanish congregations the announcement was made using the word expulsado (spanish)= expel in english.

  when i look up the word disfellowship, this is what i found:.

  Aside from the WT's hang-up with the word "excomunicar" used in some worldy religions, I think the main issue that the WT has had with translating the word "Disfellowship" into Spanish is that (in many regions in South America) it is actually translated "Desasociado" which translates back into English as "Disassociated"...

  So DF'd would actually be the same as DA'd by dictionary definition in many regions... For obvious reasons, they needed to come up with a word that wouldn't come back as DA'd... hence, the word "Expulsado"...

  Change Name...

  I don't think you'll find too much disagreement with what you've stated about replacing older instructions with updated instructions. However, if the primary purpose is to hide the way things have been done before a particular statute of limitations expires, then that's extremely dishonest and sinister...

  Many of us on this board possess physical evidence that clearly proves that the Watchtower Corporation has been guilty about repeatedly lying and covering up its dark past. One of the ways they've been to successfully do that is by sending BOE letters instructing them to destroy or discard certain literature or older letters.

  By doing that, they have been able to misrepresent what they actually predicted would happen in 1914... also, they've been able to successfully deny that they have never claimed to be inspired (when they actually did), and they've been able to hide all of their ridiculous teachings, flip-flops and false predictions about Armageddon. All of this has been possible thanks to these BOEs that have essentially instructed elders worldwide to grab shovels and bury the past...

  just saying...

  Victoria, Australia, Newspaper article: Child in Jehovah's Witness Court Bid

  http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/child-in-jehovahs-witness-court-bid-20130217-2elcg.htmlchild in jehovah's witness court bid.

  february 18, 2013barney zwartza traralgon child has clubbed his pocket money together with three others, paying $69.70 to launch a private criminal prosecution against the jehovah's witnesses.. the child, 11, who is due to give evidence on monday at the state inquiry into how the churches handled child sex abuse, wanted to force the church to comply with working with children laws.

  after four hearings, to which church leaders did not send a representative, the church began complying and the office of public prosecutions intervened to discontinue the case.. the inquiry will also hear from anti-jehovah's witness campaigner steven unthank, a former member of the church who says he and his family were ostracised and persecuted after he tried to tackle child abuse.. his submission alleges the church and its incorporated body, the watchtower society, covered up criminal child abuse, including rape, sexual assault, death threats, blackmail and assault, across four states by ordained ministers and officers of the church.. advertisementthe victorian and civil administrative tribunal will hear a religious vilification complaint against the church by mr unthank in may, after the church said people who left the church, as he had, were ''mentally diseased''.. and the victorian health services commissioner is investigating a complaint by another former gippsland church member that a jehovah's witness chaplain was found alone without permission with a naked toddler in a room at latrobe regional hospital.. the child appearing today, who cannot be named, has asked the inquiry to determine whether the church's failure to get working with children checks between july 2008 and december 2011 amounted to criminal child abuse of all 6160 jehovah's witness children in victoria.. he asks why the government and police let the church ''get away with'' non-compliance, and whether the state will help file a class action against the church.. the submission suggests the 2000 jehovah's witnesses who worked with children were committing criminal offences each week.

  I was told by an elder many years ago that expulsado is used (instead of excomunicar) because is sounds more forceful and has more impact...

  clubbing could result in censorship.

  clubbing with non-JWs could result in disfellowshipping (if caught).
