Check the shepherd book for disassociation procedure. Words of mouth or a written note to that effect is enough.

The "Trinity" is not Biblical.
by Revealed insimple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.
.
so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.

Is the WTBTS as governed by the Guardians of Our Doctrines aka Governing body the only channel JEHOVAH is using to dispense past, present and future truth of the Bible?

JWs who are now paying the price of following the cult.
by mickbobcat inmy in-laws are two such people.
people who pioneered and did not work and try to save, instead they made just enough to get by and waited for the end to come.

@Simon
Spot on about the TIME. I love the way Raymond Franz analysed that in his book In search of Christian Freedom. The org uses the most useful and important part of the the time of life of its members by the time such members decides to live, they begin to realise those lost time cannot be recovered and their productive years is remaining few.

Watchtower Disparages the Bible
by Vanderhoven7 ini'm looking for wts quotations that contrast with ii timothy 3:15-16 whereby they downplay scripture.. here is one from way back..
"...people cannot see the divine plan in studying the bible by itself...if he then lays them [scripture studies] aside and ignores them and goes to the bible alone, though he has understood his bible for ten years, our experience shows that within two years he goes into darkness.
on the other hand, if he had merely read the scripture studies with their references, and had not read a page of the bible, as such, he would be in the light at the end of the two years, because he would have the light of the scriptures," (watchtower, sept. 15, 1910, p. 298).

We must not lose sight of the fact that God is directing his organization … To turn away from Jehovah and his organization, to spurn the direction of ‘the faithful and discreet slave,’ and to rely simply on personal Bible reading and interpretation is to become like a solitary tree in a parched land.” (The Watchtower, June 1, 1985, pp. 19-20)
Vs
The written Word of God, therefore does not need the traditions which are the private interpretation of men and religious organisation..... Let God be true book
Had the oral traditions of religious men been necessary to compliment the canon of the Bible, Paul would not have said that the point of making the men of God perfect in faith and devotion to God. It would have been inadequate and would have left the man of God unperfected..... Let God be true book
All of the above from the channel of God aka WTBTS.
Look at how the Bible, left to each one's individual interpretation, has resulted in the religiously divided condition of PROTESTANTISM. To this we(WTBTS) say, protestantism multitude of sects and cults is no proof that the Bible is a divisive force to those who take it, and it alone as ADEQUATE..... Let God be true book
Oh dear fast Forward to 1985 those who take the BIBLE and its interpretation ALONE and ENOUGH are labelled PARCHED LAND

The reverse form of this experience is what the organization love boasting and bragging about. Part of their judgemental mindset don't allow members to really see that your experience like this happen in many other ways and works of life

1914 Questions
by sweetyj inim not sure if this has already been asked here but i have some questions about 1914. if jesus arrived "invisibly" in the year 1914 why do the anointed partake of the emblems?
why didn't they stop in 1914?.
if jesus is ruling in heaven then why are the anointed still on earth?

1 Thessalonians 4 :15-17
When the Lord returned invisibly in 1914, every remnant of the 144,000 should change within the twinkle of an eye and join christ in the sky.
But you know according to the organization the 144,000 is not even enough or complete to fill the 144,000.
Their teachings are based on assumptions, speculations and eisegesis

For this reason I remind you to stir up like a fire the gift of God that is in you through the laying of my hands on you. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but one of power and of love and of soundness of mind. 8 So do not become ashamed either of the witness about our Lord or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but take your part in suffering adversity for the good news by relying on the power of God.
Me accepting that you still follow the Bible. This is one of Christ ambassador speaking above.
