This is coming from somebody that grew up in this organization for almost 30 years. No.. you’re not an Apostate by being here.. This is my favorite quote dealing with all the JW’s. Why did it take Satan’s government to put pressure on Jehovah’s organization to do the right thing?
@astridmiller79383 күн бұрын

@anonomus87093 күн бұрын
Yup. And that begs the question: if they needed “Satan’s government” to pressure “Jehovah’s organization” to address basic ethical issues… then that means that either *Satan* is the truly ethical one, or the whole thing was a lie all along. Glad to see people are waking up to it. The hypocrisy with WT is downright insane.

Jehovah has always use the governments to chastise his people! Look at the Isrealites, he used the Babylonians to punish and refine them. Now he is using the governments to punish the JW for their hard-hearted, stiff necked, pharisaical policys and lack of love. or he isn't... whatevs....

Vaclav Havel, the former president of the modern Czech Republic, once said: "Seek out and then keep the company of those who pursue truth, and run away from those who have found it."

Finally an ex-JW channel that understands that the de-registering issue is not about the money, which is a pittance. It's about their reputation, which they know if it goes into the crapper, will cost them much, much more in donations worldwide. Also, excellent breakdown of their un-biblical "removal" procedure. I would like to add a couple of other points about 1 Corinthians that they get wrong. The verse says "IS a fornicator, drunkard, greedy person etc." It does not say WAS, so "Paul" was instructing the congregation that if it was known that a fellow believer was engaging in certain conduct, they should pull back from him or her socially until they stopped the behavior. There was no committee of elders to be formed to determine repentance. Paul never even mentioned repentance as a prerequisite to be welcomed back, just stop the behavior. Finally, it was left up to each person in the congregation as to whether to limit contact with the "wrongdoer" as stated in 2 Corinthians 2:6 "The punishment inflicted on him by the MAJORITY is sufficient." No one was removed for associating with this person. WT is blood guilty for all those who harmed themselves due to their cruel disfellowshipping policy.

I had the same talk with a friend who's a JW. She said it's a form of discipline, it's hard and painful but good for their soul and even went on to quote Hebrews 12:5-11, which had nothing at all to do with disfellowshipping or even church discipline. They always say the Bible says to treat unrepented Christians as tax collectors but they never ask themselves or remember how Jesus treated the tax collectors and sinners.

Ultimately, a bad reputation will affect donations. Norway alone wasn't about the money. However the domino effect if more governments follow in Norway's actions will affect dollars. If the EU and other European countries do this, then eventually the U.S. will notice. It's ALWAYS about money with Watchtower. That's why they care about their reputation.

Very interesting take, Wally. I never thought about equating one-time drunkards with one-time fornicators, and why the former is given multiple chances, but the latter is only given one chance before they are disfellowshipped, or at least publicly reproved. However I did think of someone that wanted to save their life, or the life of their child, and got a blood transfusion. First “offense” of that, and they are DF’d. Why are they not given multiple chances like the greedy person?

They already changed their policies regarding disfellowshipping a bit after Norway in an attempt to get back into the good books. As for saying they are at risk of losing property etc, that is stretching things I think. Isn’t a letter writing campaign to government organisations taking part in politics? Don’t they say they won’t have anything to do with politics? Funny how they can all say they won’t even vote in a small matter that impacts on them locally but will jump to doing a whole letter writing campaign as soon as they are told to.

A couple things I would like to add to this wonderful video: When the witnesses did their letter campaign for Russia, there were so many letters the Russian mail system got backed up for weeks/ months. Even though that massive back up won’t happen in the Czech Republic, a weeks worth of a back up won’t help the witnesses case, and I’m guessing the GB know that. I’m also in the Seattle area and a lot of the brothers were showing their “support” for the LOB even at the meetings or in their line of work. One elder would wear blue and green every Sunday and had his work van painted said colors because of how much of a fan he was.
@Mary-eg5hr2 күн бұрын
This occurring in the Czech Republic is almost funny. Due to that region's history with religious kingdoms and general occupation, it is now significantly agnostic/atheist. The same could be said as to why Czechia hasn't fully adopted the Euro as their currency because having the Czech Koruna gives pride to older generations who lived through multiple occupations. So yes, religious freedom is taken seriously there, but at the same time, if a religion is impacting others negatively, CZ won't let that slide compared to other countries.
