Well lets see…..IF we the WBTS can increase our followers/flock by dumbing them down, if uneducated they will not develop the skills for critical thinking. It’s of great importance to discourage higher education, restricking reading/research material. Keeping them busy in meetings and publishing requirements. Reading/studing the Bible without WBTS publications will be an act of apostasy & result in disfellowshipping. Limiting social interaction/recreation with non JW family members and friends should put them right where we want them….in a hypnotic state of being and robotically responding to our direction/commands, accepting of all teachings published in the WBTS literture….

I 1John 1:9 We must confess our *sins to God. If we do, he will be kind to us. He will forgive us all our *sins. And he is right to do so. He will make us *clean from all the wrong things that we have done. This is what he has promised to do.

God forgives us when we confess our *sins
In contrast to them are those people who say that they have *sinned. *Sin is something that affects all our lives. But *sin does not have to spoil our unity with God. We should say that we have *sinned. We should confess our *sins to God. When we do so, God will forgive us.

God has promised to forgive us and he will keep his promise. He cannot just forget our *sin as if it was not there. He is good and *holy. *Sin cannot remain with him. He had to remove it from his people.

God achieved this by putting all our *sin on the *Lord Jesus. The *Lord Jesus took the punishment for our *sin. He died for this purpose. Now God can forgive those who confess their *sins.

God forgives our *sins and he makes us *clean as well.

We must confess all the *sins that we know about. Then God will forgive us. He makes us completely *clean. He takes from us all the wrong things that we do not yet know about. Those things that we do not know will not damage our unity with God.

petra :jehovah,s congregation are to remail clean holly undefiled from the spirit of the world from its immoral influence people who go on unreasoning like beast. jehovah is holly so is those want to worship him they must be holly like he is. they must hate what jehovah hates. so if some one does not want to repernt so disfelowship is necesary to keep the congregation clean. let the one who have ear hear what the spirit say to the holly cogregation.

Okay, for one thing learn how to spell...it's not HOLLY, it's HOLY...and it's not "let the one who have an ear.." it's: Let the one who HAS an ear..." I have studied with JW's on 3 different occasions over the past 25 years and I have always enjoyed reading the publications. I have recently stopped studying and going to my local congregation because I do not agree with their policy of shunning. Jesus wouldn't have done that, it's not a loving thing to do nor does it show that they are forgiving--the way that Jesus said we should be!!!! I'm upset by this and I will not become a JW until they change this. They do not have the right to tell me who I can and cannot speak to...and by doing this they are trying to take away my FREE WILL.

@shell
dear is time for you to prove your loyalt to jehovah dear cause disfellowship is a discipline and whom jehovah loves he discipline you are lucky for that. now prove to everybody how much you love jehovah much more to jehovah himself. when you do that you will reap joy.hence put away all filthiness and that superfluous thing and accept with mildness the implanting of the word which is able to save your souls. wish you the best chau.

I recently was diffed as many of my friends along with me call it too. We all are in the same congregation all under twenty years of age and there are
five of us and they disfellowshipped us all. I think that this is very unloving

Yep, no Armageddon, that is the Lord coming to kill us all again. We as humans might self destruct but you see there is no Biblegod, therefore no Armageddon. See simple.
