Does anyone know of any former witnesses who upon being disfellowshipped etc were also faced with the prospect of homelessness, if so, would you please let me know, or, if you know of someone in this impending situation, also please let me know below.
Kind regards

Yes, I know.
It happened 1990 in my home town.
Very sad story...;-(((
My Sons friends, 17 and 21 both brothers, were Dfed and promptly shown the door. Very sad because the 17 year old is trying to get reinstated, and the 21 year old is doing things that in time could kill him. For a while he was living in a car. I have not seen the older boy since he was DFed but the few times I’ve seen the younger one, he avoided eye contact with me; he thinks I’m supposed to shun him and he seemed a bit perplexed when I didn’t. I guess I don’t play the shun game very well.

Why did you do that ?
Are you their father ?
Incredible.

Sorry. Not your sons. but their friends. All clear...
Yeah Celtic, I know personally of a few cases. One of the worst I knew about was of a 14 year old dub who got disfellowshipped for having sex. Her mother kept beating on her to the point where she couldn't handle living at home and she moved into an abandoned car and sold herself into prostituion because she didn't know what else to do.
Knowing what I know now, I would have seen her mother in jail for that.

Erich,
Any chance you're active in any other on line groups? You seem familiar to me.

I don't need to be forgiven.

Yes, but only in German boards. JW-board is my first trial in English..;-)
Are you on any American email lists?
Sorry if I'm being to intrusive here. I just thought it might be kind of cool if someone from one of my rather specialized interests was involved with another one.

I knew 3 JW sisters at that time in the age of 20 to 25. The 2 oldest where sisters of eachother. Me and my brother in law always used to help around the house and fix stuff girls couldn't do. At one point the oldest sister was DA'd because she had sex with an already DA'd brother or something. Following that her younger sister went back to live with her parents. Now you have an active JW young woman and DA'd young woman living together. One time me and my brother in law went to their house to replace lightbolbs and stuff. When we were busy the JW girl told us she was having an early dinner because they only had one table. She said she wasnt allowed to eat at the same table as the other girl who was DA'd. To me that makes no sense. Me and my brother in law were JW's and agreed on that issue and some other minor issues. Today I can not believe the stupidity of it all. They could share the entire house and could speak to eachother but they could not share the table when eating! And that in a specified schedule provided by an elder.
Was I really that dumb? Where else do you see shit like this happening?
