Its because Jesus says you must be born again, and this is not understood by many who call themselves witnesses.
Because Jesus said 'unless anyone is born again of spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'
And 1 john 1 tells us " everyone who believes Jesus is the christ has been born from god.'
So recognition of Jesus as christ, is paramount to being 'born' of god.
so why don't the organization teach that TRUTH.
Its because the God of this world blinds the mind of the unbeliever.
In other words when men can be redirected to focus on an 'organization [ a system] as the 'anointed [ christ] of God , then they are not believing Jesus is the anointed [ christ of god].
therefore we who are aware of what is going on , are trying to preach the TRUE CHRIST who is JESUS.

Hey Yuni , you asked a question have answered it, hope you read it.

[Yuni]

Thanks for you answer.So in other words you have lost faith in
Jehovah's perfect organization run by imperfect men?

Was Moses,Paul,David,
and Peter perfect?

Yuni you know that it is written
"God loved the world so much he sent his only begotten Son , that whomsoever exercises FAITH in HIM shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Do you believe those WORDS?
Because if you do, there is a person ,Jesus, who I have to exercise FAITH in. Can you see anything else in those words that God has sent for me to exercise FAITH in? that I am missing.?

People weren't serving Jehovah alone running their own program.He dealt with them as whole.
But of course we each carry our own load.And have to have a personal relationship with him.
And plus what was the purpose of building the terbanacle? Wasn't it build to worship Jehovah as a people together?
Or do you think we should build little KH or terbanacles in our back yards and serve God alone?
How are we suppose to encourage each other if we are not united,when one brother is going to the east and another to the west?

If you are following men and false prophets then yes you would be better off worshipping alone. Worshipping in a group is great but you need to make sure of who you following. It is more important to be part of the Body of Christ.
People who have the true faith don't need encouragement because it is a permanent resident in their hearts.

Please sit down, relax and tell me why you said this?

Karen: I have researched my faith and found I do not agree with some things they teach, so exactly, what am I doing that deserves to be disfellowshipped for?

Doctor Aloha: Perhaps since I am only here to listen,you should tell me why you deserve to be disfellowshipped?

Or are you already in that condition and didn't want to share with the others?

It's okay, you're among friends here.

Ahh I see, the adulterous woman has eaten, wipes her mouth and says "I have done nothing wrong", thank you Solomon your input is so valuable.

You still did not address the fact that you are here among what JW's have called apostates. If they found out you were here speaking to them and to DFed people, do you think it would get you disfellowshipped? It got Ray Franz disfellowshipped. You said...."whether we were doing what was right by not talking to disfellowshipped ones"...you are talking to them every day you are here, and you are well aware of what the Watchtower and GB says about it. So when its found out that you are doing it, and you are disfellowshipped for doing it, and your friends stop speaking to you over it, were they truly your friends? I mean, this is just the internet right?
I have nothing to have a guilty conscience of, I was merely asking a question that you chose to ignore.

Moses,Paul,David and Peter were not false prophets. Their beliefs did not do any flip- flops. They did not follow men.
They followed Jesus commands, they did not make up their own.
Jehovah obviously does not have a perfect org.
If you used your brain you would realize you can not have a perfect org run by imperfect men. DUH !

The process Jehovah's Witnesses follow for disfellowshipping strays from biblical principles in a number of areas.
Reasons not Mentioned in the Bible

There should always be clear Scriptural reason for disfellowshipping. John reprimands Diotrephes for attempting to disfellowship people unnecessarily.

3 John 9-10 "I wrote something to the congregation, but Di·ot´re·phes, who likes to have the first place among them, does not receive anything from us with respect. That is why, if I come, I will call to remembrance his works which he goes on doing, chattering about us with wicked words. Also, not being content with these things, neither does he himself receive the brothers with respect, and those who are wanting to receive them he tries to hinder and to throw out of the congregation."

Bible discussion of shunning by Paul and John is limited to just the following areas; Fornication, Greed, idolatry, Revilers, Practicing Drunkenness, Extortion, Blasphemy and One who does not remain in the teaching of the Christ. Revelation 21:8 does not relate to shunning but at a stretch could be drawn on, and adds adultery, men kept for unnatural purposes, men who lie with men, thieves, cowards, those without faith, those disgusting in their filth, murderers, spiritism, and liars. This list should be the full extent of reasons for which to be disfellowshipped. The long list of Watchtower offences includes a number of practices never mentioned in regards to shunning, such as use of blood. However, the Watchtower goes even further. Common practices never specified in the Bible as sins have become grounds for being disfellowshipped. These include:

* Oral and anal sex
* Gambling - common throughout history, such as the casting of lots over Jesus clothing
* Use of Drugs such as marijuana - in common use in the first century
* Celebrations - Romans 14:1-18 specifically says not to judge anyone over the observance of days

[LAFF]

If Jesus wanted his followers to shun those for engaging in these common practices, the Bible would state so. Should the Society be creating disfellowshipping decrees beyond Bible offences? Of course not! Jesus condemned the Pharisees for creating thousands of laws for every situation, rather than promoting Godly principles and understanding the meaning of mercy. When a Pharisee expressed surprise that Jesus did not do ritual washing before dinner, Jesus' rebuke was particularly harsh.

Luke 11:42 "'But woe to YOU Pharisees, because YOU give the tenth of the mint and the rue and of every [other] vegetable, but YOU pass by the justice and the love of God!" (see also Matthew 12:1-10) Matthew 12:7 “However, if YOU had understood what this means,‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice,’ YOU would not have condemned the guiltless ones.”

If God spoke directly to the Governing Body as he did with the Apostles and they were infallible, then it may have authority to add to the scriptures. By their admission this is not the case. The Governing Body is not infallible and not inspired by God to write additional rules that do not appear in the Bible. For this reason the list should be based strictly on scriptures.

Further rules continue to be introduced, such as the Watchtower 2006 Jul 15 pp.29-31 explanation that "gross uncleanness" and "uncleanness … with greediness" allows disfellowshipping to at times extend to heavy petting, sexual phone calls and viewing pornography.
