Hummm? So what's the deal with the "Kingdom Ministry" used in the service meeting? I remember when an elder had some extra copies and the speaker on the platform asked if anyone needed one. Well, a disfellowshipped woman was sitting in the audience and she raised her hand. The elder gave her one. And then, about 10 minutes later in the middle of the meeting, he approached her and asked for it back. Telling her that because she was df'd she couldn't have it. And she gave it back to him.
Since then, I always assumed that if you were df'd you couldn't get the literature? ... not that I've been trying.
The KM is an internal publication for baptized, dedicated publishers--so an elder told me--not intended for people just studying or attending a few meetings, and not for the DF'd/DA'd. So are so picky that if you don't turn in time for one month, no KM. It is supposed to be a "privilege" to receive one.
If the person is disfellowshipped and wants literature he/she must approach an elder and the elder in turn will get it for him/her.
There's a BIG 'but', though, to getting literature when the person is disfellowshipped: The disfellowshipped person must be attending meetings and giving positive steps towards returning to the Organization.
Of course, if the person has relatives/friends on the inside that could get the lit for him/her, then the previously-mentioned doesn't apply.
There are innumerable ways to circumvent the "stupid rules." I wanted a copy of a certain KM, and my friend who is DF'd, but whose active JW mother depends on her for transportation and other assistance, surreptitiously borrowed her mom's issue and photocopied it for me. This was as easy as asking, basically. Many things are as easy as asking - and finding the rigtht people to ask.
I am not sure if you understood what I was saying, but I did get all the literature I wanted and if I need something else from the hall like a KM he my ex will give it to me.
Dear what sort of group do you have? I know you spend a tremendous amount of time and research for many who don't have literature or for those who threw their literature out. If we need to keep ahead of the JW's we have to know what it is the are thinking and thelling publishers . So that is why I found it ever so advantageous to keep all my literature.
I know many that have be intensely injured by the Organization have destroyed their literature.
What ever the case ,my goal is to help people know that the WTS in no way the the truth taught by Christ.
