when a jehovah's witness is doing something wrong it only affects that person, now if you know that someone is doing something wrong and you dont say anything about it to the elders, then its like you are being an accomplice to that person, its the same thing like when you kill someone in the real world and the police finds out you know and you dont say anything, then your going to jail also...but it does not affect the entire congregation only people envolved

@jmjw27101 if I see my friend smoking a cigarette I would ask him why he feels he needed to start. It's his decision to do what he feels is best for him. However in the JW world I would be forced to expose his sin to the elders and force him to stop. This is not how friends treat each other. Friends don't blow things out of proportion like that. Friends stick it out with each other even if there are differences. If that doesn't happen it wasn't a real friendship to begin with.

Im not attacking you in any way, and im sorry for the loss of your family, but we both know what im trying to tell you, i too will have you in my thoughts, may jehovah be with you

@jmjw27101 I find it sad that you feel you need to attack me personally when I show you the truth about your organization from their own pages. You are in my thoughts, farewell.

@jmjw27101 I was just offered a lead position in the industry that I work in. That is because even though I have been grieving I have been able to continue progressing in my life.

@jmjw27101 if you take a look at my profile picture you will see that I am not in any way miserable. I am grieving the loss of my family, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying life.

@exjwphilosophy continued: and i want to serve jehovah and be happy as I once was and not miserable all my life like you seem to be

[jmjw27101]

@exjwphilosophy nobody is forced to do anything or tell on anyone as we both know, you can decide to tell on them if you want but you dont have to, but everything has consenquences...I did not get disffelowshiped for smokiing or for any other sin that i got committed because as we both know anyone can be forgivin if they show the right attitude of repentness, I got diciplined for my attitude that I had towards everything I did, I just simply didnt care, but now I accept that

@jmjw27101 being an accomplice to a murder is a few orders of magnitude different than simply becoming aware of a friend's petty sin's like smoking a cigarette. However, the Bible gives no no distinction between sins therefore, in the Jehovah's Witness world, being an accomplice to a cigarette smoker, by viewing it take place is equated with being an accomplice to murder. The logic is so absurd and the fact that it actually holds sway in any person is a deep mystery of the universe.

Great video! I've been out of the religion for about 4 years now and I kinda forgot about some of those ideas they have. Really wacky stuff lol. Glad to see you are thinking outside the cage :) Takes a lot de-programing.
