Who else would never accept to go to a Judicial Committee?

    The purpose of a JC is to readjust a person.

    Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. At this point I would still go. I am still playing by most of the rules.

    dobbie said: They can also say you've disassociated yourself by your actions as well, apparently they say i did this by cancelling my magazines but since its been two months and no announcement yet i decided to save them the bother!

    Whaaat??! If you cancel your subscription to the Craptower and Asleep that's DA'ing yourself??!! Man, that's the first time I've heard that one.....unbelievable.

    If the Judicial Committee is to be similar to a court, why is it the defendent has to prove innocence instead of the defendent being innocent until proved guilty? For that reason, I will turn down any request to appear before one. Besides they can only have whatever authority you grant them over you.

    I refused to meet with the elders because I was terrified they would persuade me to go back to my JW husband and the JWs. In retrospect, I am sure that they just wanted to pry for all the details before they DF'd me.

    Well, you don't have to attend a JC to be disfellowshipped, so they officially gave me my freedom. A clean break has been the best thing for me.

    I get this picture of you showing up at your JC hearing with a baseball bat and announcing you plan to use it on the first person who says or does anything remotely unscriptural.

    Ugh, if I knew then what I know now, last year would have been a very different story. I phoned them, arranged for the pre-JC meetup with their two witnesses so that if I didn't show up to the JC they'd have the goods on me, then we arranged a JC same time, same place next week.

    I bought the gun for them, loaded it, held it to my head and waited for them to tell me when to shoot.

    I thanked them afterwards!!!

    If I had one or a couple specific people to thank for getting out of the jw, I think I'd send them a christmas card and thank you card every year. I'd send the thank you card on the anniversary of my baptism, but then I'd have to remember that horrid day.
