facebook the association of anti-watchtower activists.

haven't been to the kh in a couple of weeks but went to the memorial along with hubby because i'm still in the early stages of my fade.. the speaker gave a really nice talk which was divided into 4 parts: why we need ransom, how it benefits us, who should partake and how to keep benefiting.

i was ok with the first 2 parts cuz he backed up with scriptures.

then the part about who should partake departed from scripture and went into this convoluted thing about how although jesus died for us, we're not to partake because jesus didn't make a covenant with us so we don't partake.

raymond frantz

being there in full knowledge what it means NOT to partake is actually DENYING JESUS.

Next time do us all a favor ,stand up for Jesus ,partake!!!

Is not difficult to fight them back .They have one type of approach for the public (Awake,WT public edition,jw.org) and one to bid the flock (WT STUDY ,Jeremiah book etc.) .all you have to do is use the publicutions used for the public against them

It was impossible to sit there being taught this vomit so I had to prepare the following comments on shunning and education which I had the fortune to comment at the beginning of each subtitle ,they effectively set the pace for the rest comments that followed discrediting all this pile of manipulation .If the Watchtower Contactor's eyes could kill I would have been incinerated on the spot .These comments were taken directly from the Watchtower publications:

SHUNNING: The official website of Jehovah's Witnesses ,under the title :" Do You Shun Former Members of Your Religion?"has the following to say :Those who were baptized as Jehovah's Witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned. In fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah's Witnesses? The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.

http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/

The July 2009 Awake ,page 29 ,under the title "IsItWrongtoChangeYourReligion? " has the following to say :Although the Bible makes a clear distinction between true and false teachings, God allows each person the freedom to choose how he or she will respond. (Deuteronomy 30:19, 20) No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family. Does study of the Bible lead to family breakup? No. In fact, the Bible encourages a husband and wife who practice different religions to remain together as a family.-1 Corinthians 7:12, 13.

EDUCATION :

The brochure especially designed for schools and teachers Jehovah's Witnesses and education under the title "How Jehovah's Witnesses view education" has the following to say :Like all parents, Jehovah's Witnesses are concerned about their children's future. They therefore attach great importance to education. "Education should help people become useful members of society. It should also help them develop an appreciation of their cultural heritage and live more satisfying lives."AS THIS quotation from TheWorldBookEncyclopedia suggests, one of the main aims of schooling is to train children for day-to-day living, which includes enabling them to care for the needs of a family one day. Jehovah's Witnesses believe this is a sacred responsibility. The Bible itself says: "Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith." (1 Timothy 5:8) The years spent at school prepare children for the responsibilities they will take on in life. Accordingly, Witnesses feel that education should be taken very seriously.

TOTAL VOMIT - USING JEHOVAH AS AN EXCUSE FOR THEIR VILE TEACHINGS-BURN IN HELL GB COWARDS!!!

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

16, 17. What grievous situation has afflicted many parents, and how do we know that Jehovah understands their pain?

16 The bond between parent and child is so strong that Jehovah used that relationship to illustrate his own love for his people. (Isa. 49:15) It is normal, therefore, to be deeply grieved when a beloved family member leaves Jehovah. "I was devastated," says one sister whose daughter was disfellowshipped. "I wondered, 'Why did she leave Jehovah?' I felt guilty, and I blamed myself."

17 Jehovah understands your pain. He himself "felt hurt at his heart" when the first member of his human family, and later most people living before the Flood, rebelled. (Gen. 6:5, 6) It may be difficult for those who have never experienced such a loss to appreciate how devastating it can be. Nevertheless, it would be unwise to let the improper course of a disfellowshipped family member distance you from Jehovah. How, then, can you cope with the profound grief that arises when a family member leaves Jehovah?

18. Why should parents not blame themselves if a child leaves Jehovah?

18 Do not blame yourself for what happened. Jehovah has put a choice before humans, and each dedicated and baptized family member must "carry his own load" of responsibility. (Gal. 6:5) Ultimately, Jehovah holds the sinner-not you-responsible for his or her choice. (Ezek. 18:20) Also, do not blame others. Respect Jehovah's arrangement for discipline. Take your stand against the Devil-not against shepherds who act to protect the congregation.-1 Pet. 5:8, 9.

It is not wrong to hope that a loved one will return to Jehovah

19, 20. (a) What can parents of disfellowshipped children do to cope with their grief? (b) What hope do such parents rightly entertain?

19 On the other hand, if you choose the path of resentment toward Jehovah, you will distance yourself from him. Really, what your beloved family member needs to see is your resolute stance to put Jehovah above everything else-including the family bond. So to cope with the situation, be sure to maintain your own spirituality. Do not isolate yourself from your faithful Christian brothers and sisters. (Prov. 18:1) Pour out your feelings to Jehovah in prayer. (Ps. 62:7, 8) Do not look for excuses to associate with a disfellowshipped family member, for example, through e-mail. (1 Cor. 5:11) Stay absorbed in spiritual activities. (1 Cor. 15:58) The sister quoted above says, "I know that I must stay busy in Jehovah's service and keep myself in a spiritually strong condition so that when my daughter does come back to Jehovah, I will be in a position to help her."

20 The Bible says that love "hopes all things." (1 Cor. 13:4, 7) It is not wrong for you to entertain the hope that your loved one will return. Each year, many wrongdoers repent and come back to Jehovah's organization. Jehovah does not begrudge their repentance. On the contrary, he is "ready to forgive."-Ps. 86:5.
