Page 29 of the July 2009 Awake! Magazine has an article dealing with freedom to choose your own religion and asks if it’s wrong to change your religion. It even makes this strong statement:
"No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family" This new article exposes a glaring double standard. They print up this sort of thing to make themselves seem like they are decent just like Satan transforms himself into an angel of light. The problem is that they do not allow their own members such freedoms.
They demand strict loyalty and anyone who chooses another path is excommunicated and shunned even by close family. They do not allow for anyone to leave the group in good standing. If you leave you are demonized as an apostate or immoral or some other unsavory label is attached to you.
"But the disfellowshipped relative should be made to appreciate that his status has changed, that he is no longer welcome in the home nor is he a preferred companion." (Watchtower 6/1/1970 Questions from the readers section on page 352)
Now you jw's are gonna say this is an old article. But it's on your 2008 CD ROM and if it served one of your purposes it would not be an old article.....---
"After hearing a talk at a circuit assembly, a brother and his fleshly sister realized that they needed to make adjustments in the way they treated their mother, who lived elsewhere and who had been disfellowshipped for six years. Immediately after the assembly, the man called his mother, and after assuring her of their love, he explained that they could no longer talk to her unless there were important family matters requiring contact. Shortly thereafter, his mother began attending meetings and was eventually reinstated. Also, her unbelieving husband began studying and in time was baptized." (Our Kingdom Ministry August 2002 Page 3)---
Notice how the mother was PRESSURED by the loss of her children to return? This is a form of abuse and is very evident in most cults.
As usual, the Watchtower Society printing sweetness and smiles while enforcing harsh rules and mind control techniques. How hypocritical! Do not be misled by the syrupy droolings coming of the Society's lips. They are like the Pharisees of Jesus Day. Whitewashed graves full of vile things and dead men's bones.....

Be afraid, Be very afraid. Fear God and give him glory. It is a very fearful thing to be in opposition to Jehovah or to bring reproach upon his name.
Hi Anonymous. I would never speak against Almighty Jehovah God. Unfortunately you see the washtowel babble and trick society as GOD, so when I condemnt heir hypocrisy you equate that with condemning GOD.
Your observations were very accurate, thank you. The God of the Bible, Jehovah, provided the ransom without first requiring anyone to repent first. What a pity to see self-righteous, self-appointed oppressors audaciously taking it upon themselves to judge others as either fit or unfit - and that in the name of the God who did the opposite. They are the ones to be afraid, very afraid, for Jehovah will reclaim innocent blood from their hands!!!
my husband was a JW, he became 'apoostate. and his mum has to not speak to him hoping he will come back and repent. however, he has repented to Yeshua/Jesus OF THE BIBLE, now he knows they are a cult and he went thru misery at school for them not Christ. I find it so sad; he is upset about his mum so deeply; i knew nothing of these things till i met him. ~They think they worship God but they don't follow Messiah they follow WT.
