Celebrated Watchtower Scholar, Rolf Furuli, Disfellowshipped

[Ann O'Maly]

Reports on the internet grapevine say that his disfellowshipping was announced at his congregation's midweek Zoom meeting last week.

It was inevitable, and he knew it would end like this which, to his mind I guess, proves his point about the GB being autocratic, dictatorial, and 'disfellowshipping on the basis of human commandments' (p. 326-7).

I wonder what he'll do now. Write more controversial books? Fizzle out?

Thank you for this information. If it is true then it does indeed prove his point.

Of course the blind JWs will defend their god the GB. It is who they worship and they just cannot see beyond that.

He didn’t really introduce a sect, did he? He just blasted away at the existing arrangement so someone else could introduce a sect to fill the vacuum he created.

That's true. That's why he wrote the book to begin with, since he had already been removed as an overseer. Just like Raymond Franz, his thinking on matters of God belong to those that have fundamental flawed views about scripture. In other words, those in spiritual responsibility let it go to their heads instead of sticking to scripture. I've seen enough Elders and Ministerial Servants, they believe they understand scripture while not realizing how far they have gone from scripture. Usually, those are the ones with a greater voice, but then again, so does the devil.

So, it wasn't a surprise. Now he can concentrate on apostate books like the rest of them. Maybe he will get some pointers from "Floyd" lol!

I don’t know why this is so hard. Nobody gets everything they want. The U.S. political system of calling the leader of the other party a jerk works so well that he wants to bring it into the congregation.

Your words revealed how you have extra perception ability and/or how people who are elders and MS are of no good, according to your conclusions about them. Interesting! And what is your "position" in congregation? Rank and file members or something else? How you "dare" to talk against "older men"? :))) What example you giving to other JW members here?! :)))) Or, members just have leaders they deserve? :))

Please down vote me. I collect that.

When was he removed? Any intel on the circumstances?

He describes the GB very well.

Talk of removing him as an overseer goes a ways back, but I never heard that this was actually done. If it was done recently this could even explain a few things. But I couldn't tell for sure if this was just your opinion or a guess.

Yes NC makes a comment against this author but does not back it up with FACTS.
