I perfectly understand your concerns about your MIL.

But what really gets to me is how exjw’s, including those of us on this forum….we shouldn’t refer to ourselves as apostates.
According to God’s word an apostate are those who represent the true God Jehovah but speak falsehoods in his name thereby speak out against him.

We only speak out against the GB claiming to represent Jehovah on earth calling themselves God’s earthly organization. So in effect because we speak out against the things they are saying and doing to bring reproach on Jehovah, should we really see ourselves as the apostates? I think not!

The truth is, they are the apostates!!! Any thoughts?
you’re absolutely right. I’ve been against this blanket term pretty much since i walked away from Watchtower a year ago. I am NOT an apostate nor am I a heretic.

Yes, they are the apostates and clearly so. Jehovah has made that abundantly clear to us, now there’s no question about it.

seems like some people aren't happy unless they are calling someone a derogatory name. Dumbhead, jackass, apostate. I've heard them all.

I remember attending meetings and being back room admonished that my hair was too long. It was like being hit in the head with a bat. I had no idea that I was bringing reproach to Jehovah because I had a thick head of hair. It was not that long,
(1 Corinthians 11:13, 14) Judge for yourselves... Does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man,

(Daniel 4:33) At that moment the word was fulfilled on Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar. He was driven away from mankind, and he began to eat vegetation just like bulls, and his body became wet with the dew of the heavens, until his hair grew long just like eagles’ feathers and his nails were like birds’ claws.

(1 Corinthians 11:2) I commend you because in all things you remember me and you are holding fast the traditions just as I handed them on to you.

(Galatians 1:14) and I was making greater progress in Juʹda·ism than many of my own age in my nation, as I was far more zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

(1 Corinthians 11:16) However, if anyone wants to argue in favor of some other custom, we have no other, nor do the congregations of God.

(1 Corinthians 7:12) I say, yes, I, not the Lord:

(1 Corinthians 7:25) I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion

(1 Corinthians 7:40) But in my opinion,

I had no idea that I was bringing reproach to Jehovah because I had a thick head of hair. It was not that long, but I'm sure I needed a haircut. They probably did not realize that it was difficult for outsiders to assimilate.
Isa 28:10-13 "For it is 'command after command, command after command, line by line, line by line a little here and a little there' Jah said 'Let this be a resting place, let the weary one rest', 'but they refused to listen'.

It made me laugh! But so sad 😞 This weeks highwire with Del Bigtree got me to withdrawl my donations to the watchtower. The Pfizer documents that are now released on the vaccine show there is a strong signal of a baby die off from these shots. I cant support anything or anyone who supports genocide.
I just discontinued my donations for a second time. I’m having a hard time supporting an organization who suggests that we get these death shots & continue wearing these face masks.
I was fired from my 12 yr job at the hospital (from the Covid unit, I cleaned Covid rooms) for not taking the jab.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Let me guess, you haven’t gotten covid once?

I do hope you’ve found a new job or find one soon.

The reason you state here is exactly the reason for stopping our donations and it’s what led us to this forum and the e-watchman website.

Thank you. I did get sick with something but not entirely sure if it was cvd or not. I didn’t have any respiratory problems. My symptoms were more like a nasty sinus infection, which I’ve never had before either.
I did mange to find another job 3 weeks after being fired. So I was very greatful. It’s not healthcare but that’s ok.
Some sisters I’ve met over the years on fb suggested I check out a video from this site. So, here I am 🙂
The rabbit hole is deep.

Glad to hear you have a new job 😃

Yes, the rabbit hole turns out to be very deep. I only came here a month or two ago and I’ve learned so much here. I learned that by leaving WT I’m not leaving Jehovah, I’ve only been drawn closer to him.
It is such an eye opener reading prophecy and learning their true meaning. Also how Jehovah foresaw this org being corrupted and the warnings but more important the loving words he gives to those who truly want to worship him in truth and love.
You will read the Bible in a whole new way, like you’ve never read it before, it’s mind blowing at times.

I hope you’ll stick around and interact some more with us all.
