    Damn i totally forgot jwgone bads point....

    I wish i had included that in my little rant also! Thats a fabulous point.... I have long told people it was fine to talk to df'd family and reasoned with them that jeasus never shunned anyone, not tax collectors or sinners and damn sure not family. I havent gotten anyone to to outright associate with a df'd person yet but i saw a few reach out on fb and thats a start ..... One step at a time, one petty stupid ass org rule broken is all it takes to start someones journey away from this thing...

    " One step at a time, one petty stupid ass org rule broken is all it takes to start someones journey away from this thing..."

    This is such a true statement.

    My wife(hardcore jw), recently has been a witness to and affected(by extention) by a travesty of justice in the congregation. She now sees, for the first time, that there is indeed a rabbit hole to explore in this org. And I will show her just how deep and pervasive that hole is!

    Thanks EE and all those INNIES who try to do right by their fellowman. We, your fellowman, truely appreciate it.

    Well, it seems to be a minority viewpoint here and not to be a hater, but I really disagree with you, elderlite. How do we fight lies? More lies, I guess.

    I hope you can see why I might have a problem with that.

    I see what sculla is saying and agree with Elderelite that there's a valid point there. But there's also reality. This is Theocratic Warfare we're talking about here. Go Elderelite! You're making the MOST of a really crap situation. May the Force Bewitch you uh.. er...be with you..

    That was a great read EE. No one should judge you. We all have our own shoes to walk in. You are making your bed and are lying in it every day. Kudos to you. I think your efforts will pay off sooner than you think. PM coming your way!
