Which of your life story is Alphonso and which is George88 not to mention BTK or whatever your other aliases are.
‘ my life story is rich and complex’ is a statement that could only be uttered by a raging egocentric.
do you have ‘ many leather bound books in your library’ and does it smell like ‘ rich mahogany’ ?

Having absolutely no observable sense of humor whatsoever, Georgie, humor and satire are totally unknown to you.
Hitler had the same observation when Berlin was beseiged by English, French, American and Russian forces from all sides …
”You know, Steiner, those Allied Forces have absolutely NO sense of humor …”

Where is BTK? Is he deep in thought or in the lavatory? Or both?

Does it matter if people are tuning in to a news source known for its shameful content? I only watch it for the humor.
Does that discount the fact that Pudgy, this disfellowshiped Republican registered voter and Racist tried to influence his political agenda here?
If it was truly disheartening for him to post it now, in a presidential election year, Pudgy and FOX NEWS would have shown outrage in 2021. Why didn't FOX NEWS mention it in 2021, the outrage felt by those Confederate white supremacist Republicans, MAGA, attempting to influence and corrupt our nation?
This is why Witnesses shouldn't engage in politics, which is precisely why they should abstain from it. Now Pudgy, can you genuinely refute Biden's 2021 declaration? Avoid distorting, manipulating, or twisting your words. Provide concrete evidence that he did not make that declaration in 2021, rather than in 2024, a presidential election year?

If there had been witnesses in Washington's time, they would not have paid attention to Paul Revere. lol!
One of the concerns they should be vigilant about is identifying apostates.

@Pudgy
Thanks for the info.
So, JWs do not celebrate birthdays because it has pagan roots.
But they also shave their beards despite the fact that shaving has pagan roots.
What an inconsistency!
lol

During the 2015 ARC process in Australia, not a single JW elder expressed regret for the victims. Not a single one, and among them was a member of GB who did not show grief for the victims of "his" elders.
The same happened in other court processes where JW elders were present.
The uniform response speaks of the unity of these JW elders. Commendable, isn't it? And where is the "biblically trained conscience"? Obviously, the permission did not arrive from the GB for the conscience to react and act. Shameful!

It is concerning that governments are swayed by the testimonies of former witnesses, leading to the overturning of decisions made by lower courts, as seen in the case of Cardinal Pell in Australia, along with dozens of others.
No true witness should be swayed by negative comments from former witnesses and their agenda along with any disfellowshipped. That's no better.

I never pay any mind to ex-witnesses, hence they simply do not bother me. When it comes to their lies, my focus lies on emphasizing the undeniable truth, completely detached from the former members' inclination to twist it to their advantage.
So, why does it matter if a Catholic lawyer is supporting the Watchtower? Are you suggesting that they shouldn't? Religion stands strong in the face of manipulative governments and the spread of falsehoods and exaggerations by former members, especially when it's time to take a stand.
Remember, there are people here who identify themselves as witnesses and are willing to embrace your perspectives, even if they may be biased. Why? Because some of them, especially females, possess a misguided loyalty. Instead of recognizing the ways in which Satan manipulates humanity through the suffering of children, they become fixated on their own personal emotions.
If someone truly grasps the essence of scripture, it would be a misguided loyalty to turn a blind eye to the devious manipulation of Satan and the individuals he employs to sow division among God's people. No matter how strongly someone believes they are a devout Christian, if they fail to recognize this larger scheme, they cannot consider themselves faithful followers of Christ, let alone true witnesses.

Oh, no! Srecko, how will you explain your egregious stance to other religions that don't visit this site? Or is the hypocrisy of former members limited, lol!
Does God have standards for the way Christians should behave and dress? The fashions of the world come and go. Many people become slaves to these fashions and to keep up with the fashion of the time, will sacrifice their time, money, and even their health.
Many of these fashions do not promote the principles of the Bible on dress. The wearing of tattoos, jewelry, saggy or tight “revealing” clothing has become very widespread even among professed Christians. But do these fit the standard that God requires? Let’s see what the Bible says about God’s standards on the Christian’s presentation to the world.

All these problems can be solved if the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society administers Justice and policy as specifically outlined by Jesus in Matthew the 18th chapter.
Matthew 18:15 is a critical key element of that.
… so simple a solution.
So important it was recognized and incorporated into the Constitution of the United States.
All JWs know Matthew 18:15 is a command as important as Memorial attendance.
This creates a problem, though…….
It disenfranchises arbitrary use of power, to do arbitrary things.
….like ignoring Matthew 18.

…. For the agenda driven intellectually challenged people, what I have just recommended is only what the Bible specifically states.
Specific and direct instructions directly fromJesus Christ, on exactly how to run a Congregation.
…. specific and direct instructions from our King, Jesus Christ, on EXACTLY how to run a congregation.
Do we do that that way?
Not even close.

The lust for land, money power and real estate usurped the instructions of a man so poor, he didn’t even have a suitcase, and walked everywhere.
There is no record in the Bible of ANY Congregation ANYWHERE owning a building to meet in.

Alphonse reacted to JW Insider in Not sure what to title this.
I think it was around 2018 when I read a news report about a meeting of ex-JWs and non-JW relatives of Witnesses. They met somewhere around Seattle. Several of the attendees supposedly gave reports of suicides among disfellowshipped and shunned teenagers. (And I think there were cases of suicides among those who had suffered sexual abuse either in the congregation or from Witness parents.)
I'm sure you are right that it was more than just the shunning that drove them to suicide, but they definitely were presenting a pattern that indicated shunning as a key factor. It was likely exaggerated somewhat, but the report indicated that shunning and suicide became kind of a theme, and there were about a dozen such cases mentioned. It's probably a serious enough problem that the WTS is right now trying to address this issue by making changes to the process of disfellowshipping teenagers.

I downvoted you, which I seldom do so it behooves me to give an explanation.
You are so clueless it’s embarrassing to read your posts!
It is NOT considered “cruel and unusual punishment” to execute people for crimes. It is considered “cruel and unusual punishment” to deny communications and citizenship to anyone, no matter how heinous they break the rules.
Humans need the connections to other humans, same as food, water and air. Take Vitamin C out of a human’s diet and he WILL DIE , slowly and very painfully, his body disintegrating and falling apart.
The same with disfellowshipping for matters that are not true, clear and present, REAL, emergencies.
That’s why Jesus gave instructions in Matthew 18 EXACTLY how to do it.
Do JWs do it that way?
… not even close.
The problem is … historically, organized religions and their minions LOVE a witch hunt.
