disfellowship ke ? I'll see what I can do

Mega churches learnt deceit from the Jehovah's witnesses. They've been on it for almost a century and half. They are among the reasons I know religion is a joke.

Okay, let have some dialogue, almost all of JW doctrines are not just misinterpretation of the Holy Scriptures but they completely lack Biblical correlation.

Remain loyal to Jehovah is one of the best and uplifting regional convention I have ever attend.

PappiSnow:
Conventions right and left, yet crime rate, hunger and other vices keeps increasing daily. Please let all conventioneers pray for manna from Heaven, Holy Angels to guard and arrest criminals in our land

Nigerians are only being religious but our heart is far from God and blood of the innocent is like a flood on a daily basis. Witness has never deny their own gospel is human ideaology. They don't believe in Jesus, alcohol is not a tabboo, fetishness is part of their lives. Who them believe gan....?

According to the op,the core of JWs' doctrine is on convention(s) and not scriptural! Ok ooooo.

ChristianFreedo:
So, why was this convention necessary? I mean this particular topic? Remain loyal to Jehovah

I have attended so many conventions, in my more than 20 years with the watchtower organization, but they have never been a convention about loyalty, there was never a need for it, so why at this point?

These are just a few of the reasons why the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses needed to reinforce loyalty.

Information spread: Information today flows at the speed of the internet, what happens in one part of the earth will be known in the other part of the earth within hours. What that means for the governing body (those in charge of the watchtower organization) is that they cannot continue to hoard information as they used to and only releases them if it pleases them or will serve their purpose (and as they would prefer to). I mean, you can practically download in your phone, in the comfort of your home the book “The Divine Plan of Ages”, published in 1886 by the watchtower.

That is hardly what the watchtower would bargain for, as much information in those publications are embarrassing and they would prefer witnesses do not come in contact with them. It would have been simply and clearly evident that the teaches in those older publications (called old light) could never have come from Jehovah. They have tried to make sure that witnesses do not come in contact with such older publications, they are not included in the watchtower offline or online library.

As a result of information and resources for research widely being available today, 1000s of JWs are becoming aware of watchtower old wrong doctrines, doctrines they claim to been championed truth, but doctrine they have discarded. Many are becoming aware that these doctrines like [ cross, Jesus Mediator-ship, 1914, Jerusalem destruction in 607 BCE as against 587 BCE, great crowd, blood transfusion etc.] have little or no biblical, historical or archeological backing.

This is despite the fact that this information had always been there, some more than 20 years, but had been suppressed by the watchtower organization. Such is the beauty of the internet. No wonder a serious call to remain loyalty to the organization and it’s teaching

Worldwide Downsizing: The worldwide purging of bethel members, many that have spent all their lives in bethel and not knowing any other place or any other way of living, brought questions as to the divine backing of those in charge of the organization (the governing body). You need to hear how brothers and sisters complain of how sudden it has been and how they do not really have where to start from, most being so disappointed. To most, it dawned on them that they have been working for a publishing corporation.

Mishandling of Child Abuse Cases: The past few years have been very brutal for the watchtower organization. Watchtower is facing and losing a rising number of court cases, due to its policies and protection of pedophiles within its congregations.

The Australian Royal commission investigation into how the watchtower organization handles child abuse case with discoveries shocking legal experts. Over a thousand unreported child molesters in Australia alone since 1950’s. Practice of forcing an abuse survivor to confront their abuser, institutional dismissal of any abuse claim, no matter how credible, unless there had been two witnesses to the act and the systematic destruction of documents relevant to the accusations of child abuse, by elders, including notes taken during judicial investigation and committees and congregation records related to child sexual abuse, all under direct order from the watchtower (as in the case of child abuse investigation in London) and the watchtower organization using all legal means available to ensure that they do not turn to the authorities child abuse case document as in the united stated.

In 2007, the Watchtower settled 16 child abuse cases, with a total payout estimated to have been $13 million dollars. On 20 May 2010, a lawsuit was filed in San Diego, California, by the Zalkin Law Firm, case number 37-2010-00092450-CU-PO-CTL, against the Watchtower of New York. This regarded 5 people and was settled out of court in 2012, with the Watchtower paying out an undisclosed amount of money. In 2014, a San Diego judge awarded $13.5 million to Lopez, who was molested by Congregation elder. In the case Watchtower refused to provide its list of known predators to the court.

These information is what typical JWs wouldn’t be aware of in time past, I guess, the internet is not friendly for the watchtower organization and its Governing Body. Thousands of other cases are clearly documented in http://www.silentlambs.com.

Failed prophecy “This generation” to “Overlapping Generation” teaching: Another key teaching, “this generation” prophecy failed when the last member of the governing body that was “anointed” before 1935, was part of the first group of governing body that witness 1914 died, forcing the governing body to “this generation” to an overlapping generation. This key ‘New light’ teaching of the “overlapping generation” is struggling to take hold in the faith of many witnesses, as can be seen in watchtower’s repeated attempt at explaining it.

This are just few of the numerous reasons why the governing body had to reinforce loyalty, using series of videos and talks in this year’s regional convention.

It's obvious u attended the convention, that is if u did,with a sealed mind. The organization is afraid of the internet and the Jw.org website is the single most translated website in the world. what an irony. Its clear uv sunk into apostasy

AyamConfidence:
lol...so why are you advising him when and you're not following your own advice

Haha; is it a bad idea advising my friend to go to church?

Though the organisation is a good one but most of the members aren't what you think... i strongly believe in the principle of practise what you preach...


I was baptised there but decided to stop back then in the university wasn't disfellowship i just left.

This is all lies. If I were you, I'd find a Jehovah's Witness to learn the truth from them.

ChristainFreedo

You're an apostate right...and you want to drag along people with you right??...you should know that your case would be worse than someone who had a millstone tied to his neck and pitched into the sea...SMH

Just leave that guy called freedom or whatever his name is,he would be worse than someone who has a stone tied to his neck and cast into the sea....can see the devil is really using him big time.

What did 2nd John 's 9 - 10 say?

Whosoever transgreseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath no God.

He that abuser in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the father and son

Jehovah witnesses reads only part of the Bible approved by their teachers.
They need deliverance!

nope...its not a bad idea...actually it's a great idea...thanks for helping him

okay I'll ask you this...did you discover this yourself or is it mere hearsay ??

Second, can you prove the above??

I have encountered them severally, I study the Bible for myself and the Holy Spirit gives the interpretation plus I learn alot from the Churches I have attended.

@OP u made me confused. You mean you spent 3 quality days (don't know how long the program last each day) knowing that you are there to just find fault and come back to write these epistle.

Honestly, you need thunder from Amadioha to reset your brain. Were you forced to attend?

AyamConfidence:
okay I'll ask you this...did you discover this yourself or is it mere hearsay ??

JW says....
"To get one's name written in that book of life will depend on one's works, whether they are in fulfillment of God's will and approved by his Judge and King." (Watchtower, August 15, 1972). ...


but the Bible says...
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV)
