    WT induces people to make a commitment to their imposter god AND the organization under false pretences, and therefore the contract entered into at baptism is invalid. WT has no religious, scriptural, spiritual or moral authority, and so disfellowshiping is not a valid or true expression of the true God's will, and a letter of disassociation is not required. WT claims to be a Christian ogranization even though they deny Jesus and rarely refer to Jesus in their teachings. True Christians follow and obey Jesus and are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

    In this video, you did not really make a case or even remotely how it is a Pyramid Scheme. I'm not saying it's not a Pyramid scheme. It of course is. But you didn't make that point evident in this video. A Pyramid scheme is when one person gets other people to buy his stuff, and go out to sell that stuff to still other people, but when the individual salesperson makes the sale, they have to give a portion to the person who recruited them, and that person gives the person above them a portion, above them a prtion, above them a portion... All the way to the top. So a sales perdon can never surpass the person above them. The way you described it above is just normal capitalism with free labor.

    DIDN'T PEOPLE LEAVE JESUS WHEN HE SAID, EAT MY FLESH AND DRINK MY. BLOOD? . DID HE CRY WHEN THEY LEAVE? ABSOLUTELY NOT, INSTEAD HE ASKED HIS APOSTLES, DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE ALSO? The choice is yours. For your enlightenment, you guys did not make any vow to Jehovah, YOU all attend a church where they believe that if you go by the church one day a week ( Sunday) and sit and listen to someone talking some GOD THINGS, and some JESUS THINGS you going HEAVEN for that. 99% of the people attending those churches believe that their dead relatives are in Heaven looking down on them. They also believe that the angels are dead people. The Angels existed in Heaven even before the earth was made, when God made the earth, the angels let out a big shout of praise. ( Job 38 v 7) They are going church for years, and most of them get the shock of their lives when a JEHOVAH WITNESS show them what the Bible says at John 3 v 13. Hardly any of them (not even the pastors )know that. THEY DO NOT KNOW THE SCRIPTURES. SO SATAN IS GETTING MORE AND MORE OF HIS HUMAN SERPENTS ON RUclips TO DO HIS TALKING, to try and stop JEHOVAH ORGANISATION But. they just simply can't. END OF MATTER. ! ( Acts 5 v 38 and 39) People who turn their back on Jehovah, eventually suffer the consequences and they wonder why. JEHOVAH GOD, is a patient and loving GOD, but he won't put up with you forever. The vow you make to jehovah is not like the NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS that people make every year. Knowing that they are not going to keep it. WHEN YOU MAKE A VOW TO JEHOVAH, YOU BETTER KEEP IT. ( ECCLESTIASTES 5 v 4 and DEUTERONOMY 23 v 21. JESUS gave his followers a command at Acts 1 v 8, YOU MUST BE WITNESSES OF ME IN THE JERUSALEM AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE UTMOST PART OF THE EARTH, JEHOVAH WITNESSES OBEY IT, DO YOU? WHAT ABOUT ACTS 5 v 42, and Acts 20 v 20? Would you say that Matthew 10 v 11 to 15 pertains to you or JEHOVAH witnesses? Many churches agree that they are supposed to go witnessing, but they try for a few days and stop, THEY CAN'T DO IT. WHY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT. SO YOU GUYS COULD WASTE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU WANT ON RUclips, BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER QUARTER MILLION JEHOVAHS WITNESSES IN YHE WORLD. JOHN 6 v 44, NO MAN COMES TO ME, UNLESS THE FATHER WHO SENT ME DRAWS THEM.

      Ephesians 2:4-10, KJV: "But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life." The idea of 'Jehovah's Organization' not being natural Israel is called Supersessionism and dates to about the second century, and reading Revelation as having happened already is called Preterism and dates to about the fifth century. If you look into Sir Robert Anderson or Clarence Larkin's work you'll see that much of what the Watchtower has published over the years is the work of others. Furthermore, the 144,000 are sealed during the Tribulation (Jacob's Trouble, 70th week of Daniel, Day of the Lord, etc.), not before. This 7 year period is foreshadowed by the 7 days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur (AKA: the Yamim Noraim or Days of Awe). Just as Jesus fulfilled the Spring festivals during his first advent, so too will he fulfill the fall festivals at his second. The 'latter days' spoken of by Daniel began on May 14, 1948 when the nation of Israel was reborn in a day. The relationship between Christians and natural Israel is described in Romans 10 and 11. You don't have to go through the Tribulation if you accept Jesus as Lord beforehand (Revelation 3:10).

If they called me I'd hang up, if they came knocking, I'd close the door without speaking. The people are very nice, most of the time, but the GB and their petty-minded micro-managing, false teachings (old light, new light), indoctrination, level of control (if you're weak-minded enough to allow that), fear mongering, and expectations regarding what you will give both financially, mentally, and physically, are just too much.

    A very important video. I got baptized in the Lord Jesus Christ and attended a biblical worship in a local community of Christians at my place.

    When WatchTower political rules state that a disassociated person to return must REPENT just as a wrongful disfellowshipped person is required, how is the USA freedom to quit, regarded as a wrong needing to repent when USA law says you did no wrong? What are YOU repenting from other than the fact you left, and if required to REPENT from that, then the WT has broken the constitution law. IN teh end matter they are saying if youre OUT (even a nonMember if you wrote a disassociate letter) they can put those rules on you to come back and claim you have to REPENT just because you gave them a QUIT letter.

    @rogerkirkpatrick5256 Месяц назад

    @WatchStayAwake, please consider the following: THESIS: When one who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is bound to occur. Jesus spoke an illustration recorded at Matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis. Jesus asked, “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. Truly I say to you, He will appoint him over all his belongings. But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.” Watchtower teaches that Jesus was foretelling a time when he would appoint a faithful and discreet slave class over his followers on earth. However, nowhere did Jesus identify himself as the master in his illustration. Furthermore, Matt. 24:45-51 does not discuss two separate slaves, but only one slave. The examination by the master upon his return would determine if the slave was, in fact, faithful and discreet or evil. There are two features which must be fulfilled for one to fit Jesus’ model of a faithful and discreet slave, and both features were fulfilled by Jesus before he ascended to heaven. First, the slave must give the master’s domestics their food at the proper time. Do you remember when Jesus told his disciples, as recorded at John 16:12, “I have many things yet to say to you, but you are not able to bear them at present.” Clearly, Jesus was giving his disciples spiritual food at the proper time for them. Still, when Jesus spoke those words he had not yet proven his loyalty to the Father unto death. Second, after having been inspected and found to have fulfilled the first feature, that slave would be appointed over all the master’s belongings. Jesus also fulfilled this feature. After having proved his loyalty to the Father unto death and shortly following his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples and, as recorded at Matthew 28:18, “Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.” Since Jesus never identified himself as the master in his illustration, and since both features of a faithful and discreet slave find their fulfillment in Jesus, could it be that Jesus was pointing to himself as an example of a faithful and discreet slave? 1Peter 2:21 says, “In fact, to this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely.” In the July 2013 Study Edition of The Watchtower, the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses presumptuously declared itself to be the faithful and discreet slave of Jesus’ illustration, appointed by Jesus, they claim, over the “household of faith” in the year 1919. Why do we say presumptuously? Because the very same article admits that the inspection by the master to determine whether the first feature was carried out properly and the subsequent appointment over all the master’s belongings is yet future! Does a slave typically demand obedience from those it serves, as the Governing Body demands from Jehovah’s Witnesses? That 2013 Watchtower article arrogantly boasted that, “When Jesus comes for judgment during the great tribulation, he will find that the faithful slave has been loyally dispensing timely spiritual food to the domestics. Jesus will then delight in making the second appointment-over all his belongings. Those who make up the faithful slave will get this appointment when they receive their heavenly reward, becoming corulers with Christ.” Do those sound like the words of a humble slave who has yet to be examined, much less judged? Or, rather, do they sound like the boasting of the evil slave in Jesus’ illustration?

    @WatchStayAwake, with all due respect, your reasoning is based on your misunderstanding of the facts. You stated, "However, if you do not write a letter of disassociation, then, by default, you will fall into the non-member category." This is not correct, neither in a legal sense nor in a practical sense. The only persons who fall into the non-member category are those who were never baptized as a JW. Once one takes the voluntary step of getting baptized as a JW, one remains subject to Watchtower's rules even when one withdraws from associating with the congregation and can be disfellowshiped if one decides to celebrate birthdays, holidays, attend a service of another religious organization, join the military, or take a blood transfusion. Any such actions make one liable to disfellowshiping action and shunning. The only way to become free of interference from Watchtower or its agents is to officially disassociate, either verbally or in writing. Personally, I chose to disfellowship Watchtower and Jehovah's Witnesses from my life by writing a letter of disassociation. I was not going to keep quiet about what I had learned about Watchtower hypocrisy and false teachings, and that alone would have made me subject to being disfellowshiped.

    My thoughts. If one decides to walk away instead of DAing, that person can still be disfellowshipped. Nothing would have been gained. To illustrate, most likely one who walks away will gradually be accepting, embracing, or participating in one of the miriad JW forbidden behaviors or beliefs. If someone leaves the area and there is no likelihood or coming into contact with JWs who knew them, they're safe. However, if one remains in the area, you can be sure that busy body, do-gooder JWs will be joyfully watching the person to report to the local congregation any JW infraction. The person will with close to 100% assurance be DFd. The exception to this is if the local congregation deems that others in the territory don't view the person as being a JW. I wouldn't defend on that from prior experience as an Elder. Such a person was DFd in a Congregation I attended. The only way to not have to constantly "look over one's shoulder" is to cut ties and DA. Of course, that person needs to weigh the benefit of being able to retain contact against the stress of trying to maintain a JW accepted appearance in word and deed.

How do they know, for example, if you went to a birthday party? Do they even care if it has been years? Very few people know that I was raised jw. My experience is old so maybe it is different now.

    I have helped some folks defend themselves from elders who don't follow WT's own rules. Of course, how can the average rank & file witness defend against rules they have no access to? I often wondered why someone hadn't sued them for breaking these "secret" rules. And what does the law say about an org having secret rules? Maybe it's time we did that!.

    Thank you for exposing WT as the enemies they are. Personally, I do not recognize WT or any congregation as having religious, spiritual or scriptural authority over anyone because a close examination of their doctrines and scripture reveals that they are an apostate organization. I have therefore been shunning them, as an organization, in accordance with the scriptures that they themselves quote to have nothing to do with apostates. As they do not have any religious authority, I am under no obligation to communicate with them concerning their apostate regulations.

She would shun me if I left so I have to stay PIMO. Two things. Every congregation is set up technically as a nonprofit. In United States, they’re called an NGO, Here in Canada, they just called nonprofit organizations. They have to do that for their nonprofit status to avoid taxes on all the donations. Second thing, have you ever thought about finding the right kind of lawyers that specialize in this stuff in the religious field and maybe getting half our consultation to get some more answers clarified and then you could share with us?

    I haven’t preached or attended meetings since 2018. I have no YT channel or any other public platform to speak out publicly about the org, except for commenting occasionally. I have not joined another religion, or political party, I simply faded. So according to their guidelines you read I am weak in faith, “suffering discouragement”. I have received no “consolation or support” as they claim to give. The elders have done nothing to “provide spiritual assistance” in any way. In reality I am being soft shunned. Some in the congregation will avoid my wife and I if we see them in the street. Not one JW has taken the initiative to approach, help or support us, if there is any interaction it is initiated by us. So no matter what they claim to do, in reality it’s a lie. We’re not the only ones. Other ex witnesses have said the same. They are deceiptful liars! So who is their father?

    I happily wrote a dis letter. If you are considered a member ( not a word they like you to use now ) the congregationa are obligated to send X amount of $ per member, so you are financially aiding the cult whether you plan to or not. Some have families, they don't want to loose so they just pretend...that would be stressful...I wish the activist would all get together and promote a PIMO walk out day. Just think how that could wake up a lot of sheeple if the PIMOs would just stop pretending and tell out and walk out!!
