Jehovah's witnesses, are former members automatically branded apostate?

The WT cult has reduced the word "apostate" to the level of propaganda, given their sloppy use of the accusation and subsequent punishment for the alleged offense. It's policy of shunning an "apostate" has nothing to do with God, godly devotion or the bible and it's teachings. With regard to so-called "apostates", the sole purpose of shunning them is to separate those who are aware of the scam from those who are still completely duped by the scam and thus still controllable.

The WT cult knows how shaky their foundation is. The same doctrinal and traditional challenges have been dogging them for decades. Since they stubbornly refuse to humbly admit their error and do an about face, they instead lash out at anyone who would dare oppose them.

They demonize questions. They crush any challenge with an iron fist. TRUTH fears NOTHING!

But challenge WT doctrine and you will be on the receiving end of a blind fury to rid you from their presence. They disfellowship and shun anyone who they cannot otherwise control for the sake of protecting their fragility. It has NOTHING to do with whether or not the person really has and holds and does not violate his relationship with God.

Jw have reinvented words with slanted definitions only jw recognize. For example: "Christian Greek Scriptures", the The preferred term among JWs for the New Testament. Use of the expression New Testament marks the speaker as a non-Witness in most cases.

"come into the truth", to To become a Jehovah’s Witness. “I came into the truth in 1991. When did you come into the truth?” "disassociate" verb 1.

To separate oneself volun­tarily from the Watchtower organization. 2. To be declared by a judicial committee to be voluntarily separated from the Watchtower—even when this is involuntary on the individual’s part.

When a young JW joins the military (regardless of whether this is through recruitment or through conscription) the elders announce that he “has disassociated himself” from the JW organization. This wording is used apparently to avoid having the congregation disfellowship or expel one who joins the military, as such disciplinary action might be seen as a violation of the law. "disassociated person" One who has voluntarily separated from the Watchtower organization or who has been expelled by the elders under the guise of disassociation.

"Ezekiel class", the The anointed remnant allegedly at the core of the Watchtower organization—supposedly prefigured by the prophet Ezekiel. (Note with the change in who 'the faithful slave' is this teaching must now be abandoned) "false prophet, a" 1. A self-proclaimed spokesman for God whose predictions fail to come true.

2. A term wrongly applied to Jehovah’s Witnesses by their enemies. Example: “Jehovah’s Witnesses, in their eagerness for Jesus’ second coming, have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect.

Because of this, some have called them false prophets.” (Awake! March 22, 1993, page 4) NOTE: Although Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves have predicted the end of the world for several different dates—1914, 1918, 1925, and 1975 being the most prominent—and recently dropped their longstanding proclamation of “the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away” (Awake! Masthead on page 4 of each issue from March 1988 through October 1995)—they are taught to believe that the term false prophet does not apply to them, because they never claimed to be a prophet in the first place.

However, see the box titled “a prophet yet not a prophet” on page 90.) I have barely put a dent in a dictionary of jw terms and what they twist them to mean. Here you will find more: http://cftf.com/dictionary/index.html#C.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
