Hi! What a busy week! Somebody wrote on my FB that I should try to appeal the elders decision that I#disassociated myself as a #JehovahsWitness and either call a circuit overseer or #Bethel . <br /><br />So I made the call. I was surprised the conversation lasted as long as it did. I was completely honest with the "brother" (isn't it weird that they never give their names?) and honestly it was difficult to talk to him because he kept interrupting me and deflecting my questions. <br /><br />But as you listen to this conversation it will become very crystal clear that this organization doesn't understand what "being Christian" even means. <br /><br />Being Christian...or being a believer isn't about a religion...it's about a relationship. Even if you are not a believer, this conversation shows that the #JW organization does not respect human rights or religious freedom...something they want for themselves...especially in countries like Russia. <br /><br />If you have a youtube channel...please feel free to mirror this or duplicate it for yourself. I'm personally not interested in investing much more time into this channel...I'm actually getting ready to take a bit of a hiatus. I'm free now and this conversation was the final reminder that truly proved to me that there's NO LOVE....no natural affection, no grace, and no concern for people...this organization is a corporation that seems to only care about their "organizational accomplishments," rules, and their image. This is not the religion I grew up in...I don't even recognize it anymore. <br /><br />This religion is a #CULT. It still makes me a little sad to say that...but "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck...it's a DUCK." <br /><br />Shalom!<br /><br />#Watchtower<br />#JW<br />#ServiceDepartment<br />#elders<br />#shunning<br />#disfellowshipped<br />#Christian<br />#Baptism<br />#cults<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc1R37Ldpuc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc1R37Ldpuc</a>
