    lol... well I didn't do porn but I did talk to an elder on the phone just one time. I admitted over the phone what I had done. So apparently that was enough. Seems sort of odd really since I never met with anyone just that one phone call. So I guess you could say I didn't try to defend myself as in being a liar like some do to get out of that. I just told the truth. Now that I talk to others who knew about the situation apparently the elders who were involved with my situation said they would have never disfellowshipped me if they had known the whole story.

    Lmao,most people don't get Df'ed for doin porn,but other than hiding cams in a person's house,or setting up a sting,how else could they get the proof they need for a forni Df'ing?

    I thought they try and get you to come to the hall first for a meeting in the backroom,then if you refuse,they automatically do what they want. As for people lying to get out of it,i remember a sister,when i was younger,who was in some kind of mess involving other elders wives. They all had an equal share from what i was to understand,however,they lied/cried to get out of it,whereas she told the truth about what happened,as a result..she was the only one who got DF'ed,which i always thought was messed up,cause she was one of the only ones i liked in there at the time,and the others got to go scot free without even so much as a public reproof.

    Last year my wife's mom lost her battle with cancer in the early part of December. She was the glue that held the family together to celebrate the holidays. When that Christmas rolled around we pretty much just handed each other the gifts and went our separate ways to open them. I thought that with her passing that the tradition would be lost, but earlier this year we were blessed with a girl that we are adopting. The family got together again to make Christmas something special for her. My wife and I got her her first bike and while we were taking turns running up and down the street keeping her upright my wife's brother and father came outside onto the porch and got into an argument about the best way to teach our daughter how to ride. I have to smile now thinking about that scene, two breathless 30 somethings holding up a 7 year old while two grown men gripe at each other (while doing nothing to help us). It isn't exactly the 'Miracle on 34th Street' or 'It's a Wonderful Life' but it's still a Christmas memory to look back on and treasure. Anyway to answer your question, for us at least, Christmas came back this year.

    Same with my disfellowshipping, it was erroneous. Isn't it strange that they say holy spirit helps the elders to make their decisions to disfellowship or not? Really, holy spirit has nothing to do with it. If the elders want you out, you're out.

    @ Gopher

    BINGO! That's exactly what i thought...especially after i had heard a story of a sister who had been raped at gunpoint,was DF'ed because she didn't "scream out" because they said they'd kill her and her husband if she did. It was that,coupled with the fact that and PO in this area went on a rampage trying to DF people from his cong that left to get away from his tyranny,then i realized,that it is the elder's choice whether to DF or not....One guy,who was related to him,and his "triumvirate",got public reproof..and was out in field service telling me,and my friend about how "stupid it was" and how "he wouldn't even get that,if people wouldn't complain that he got away with something"..when they found out that he blew their cover,they had to Df him..he died before they could go ahead try and reinstate him in flash,like they planned. it was after that,that i realized that "Holy Spirit" has absolutely nothing to do with their proceedings...otherwise,there would never be "accidental" Df'ing's...but then again..there wouldn't be revisions,or in sheepspeak:"flashes of light" either cause "God" is perfect,why would he give false info,then change it later?

    I'm so sorry about your wife's mom. That's really sad. It's nice that your family has come together again for Christmas. I just don't think I'll ever get into Christmas really.

    Oh yeah it's not by holy spirit that the Elders make there decisions. I don't know if I ever even thought that. It's been soooo long I have forgotten so much about what they do and have blocked some stuff out I think from my memory. I did also find out that one of the elders that was involved with disfellowshipping me was on a rampage to disfellowship someone else this last year and it seemed out of control and they asked him to step down and he did. So really they are all just human and not being led around by the holy spirit. I myself though am not mad about it. I could have prevented it but it was my choice not to prevent it from happening. I really have no ill will against JW's. I just would like to have friends who know what it's like to be in my shoes.
