Not even once
by Gig ini've read my fair share of their pubs, and nowhere, ever have i seen a clearly stated repentance or a humble confession on the part of the wts.
i know that they have delicately admitted a mistake here and there, but it's always overshadowed by the self-praise logic that overall we should be thankful for the mistake.
the bible specifically speaks against that.

e-watchman.com: Stafford's Baby?
by Room 215 injust took a look at e-watchman.com on a referral from a poster here.
whatever one thinks of its agenda, its production values and composition are first-rate.
it bears at least some of the stylistic earmarks of greg stafford.

Treatment of those DF'd or DA'd
by ExpandedMind indoes anyone on this board, understand how the wts justifies helping your df'd or da's parent or child if they need medical or financial help (in the case of an aging parent) as this would be "honoring your parent", but calling them to see how they are doing (when they are well) is somehow is wrong?
can you "articulate" it as if you were a jw trying to explain it to an outsider?
or would it be apparent that there is something wrong with their teaching?

Is the Bible Really the inspired word of God?
by Shirlgirl ini ask this question simply to see what others think....... when my daugther was 16, she came to me late one night after we had come from a meeting and asked me...."mom, what if the witnesses have it all wrong?
there are only 66 books that we use, what if we are worshipping the wrong idea?
" she then walked out of the room and went to bed...... god, did that open a can of worms.....because i actually started thinking on that.. however, i took it a step further....what if religion on whole had it all wrong....so i began to do research, and what i found was amazing to me..... 2timothy 3:16 began to 'ring' in my mind....."all scripture is inspired of god...." funny, didn't say just 66 books were inspired, but all scripture....then i began to break it down....what was scripture?

Disfellowshipped? I got a question
by sableindian inif a person is disfellowshipped, can they talk to anyone in the congregation?
and if not, what scripture says they (the disfellowshipped person) can not.
and, has anyone ever heard that an elder or someone else suggest a disfellowshipped person wear a letter "d" (the scarlett letter) when they go to public functions like an assembly?

Anyone Ever Reinstated After "Apostacy"?
by ExpandedMind ingood morning!
i was just wondering if anyone on this site has been reinstated as a jw after having been disfellowhipped or disassociated from the watchtower society for "apostasy"?
if so, would you mind telling us what it was like for you to go through the "process" of reinstatement after having "seen the light" <smile!> about the organization?
