    Conversation from another JW:

    I consider myself to be a devout JW. However I do go to other churches. I beleive God had a lot of people besides JW's and I want to learn more. So I go to other churches to learn more. Not because I'm looking for something else. I'm in Good standing with my congregation. My two brothers Andy (an elder) and Ryan (a ministerial servant both know everything there is to know about me. And the Elders have done nothing.Ryan says he thinks the elders do nothing is because they are scared of me. Plus the GB told my elders in a conference call that they personally would be the ones to "give attention" (the GB exact words) to me. So the elders just leave me alone. Also my brother Ryan told me that he doesn't beleive the WT would ever disfellowship anyone for merely going to another church. He did tell me that just because I wasn't disfellowshipped didn't mean I was in good standing. I disagree.

    I don't consider myself deceitful. I have not even tried to hide anything I do. Please do call my PO. Greg Ferguson. 360-834-2991. I don't normally give out peoples numbers but I have no problem giving out his. I think a judicial committee would be fun.!!! How can you suggest I'm decietful when you know, I Todd Gaylor from the Camas Wa. Congregation, so publicly flaunts my verying beleifs and actions. As far as the GB is concerned. I think they are just too busy too look into things. Todd

    He's a JW. His two brothers - one an elder - the other a MS know of him attending other Christendom churches and do nothing? The GB says they'll "give attention" to him, but haven't. Still considered in "good standing" and encourages anyone to call his PO and confirm what he is saying. Your thoughts? Perhaps he really isn't "Todd Gaylor", but is setting someone else up from that congregation by posing as him?

    don't believe a word of it. Sounds like he is just dramatizing himself.

    Attending another church is apostasy and auto disfellowshipping....

    Maybe they haven't disfellowshipped him but regard him as having disassociated by participating with other religions?
