  Disfellowshipping

  by sandy in

  is it true that one elder is assigned to a disfellowshipped person?

  this is the contact person for the df'd one?

  also, is it true that the elder can only contact the df'd one once a year?.

  I'd never heard this before, but I wouldn't be surprised.

  When I was df'd, I no longer even lived in the same city as the cong. that I went to. I had moved about and hour or so away. The elder's tracked me down, and Df'd me by phone. It was one elder who called me the first time, and the same elder that called me back later in the week to tell me that they'd all had a chat, and decided to DF me.

  At the time, I didn't care. I still don't care that I was DF'd, I thought it was all BS, anyhow, but I've had a few people since then tell me that they really didn't have any right. Seeing as how I was no longer even close to being in the same territory, and since they actually had to hunt me down.

  Does anyone know if they broke any of thier own "Rules" by df'ing me the way they did? I never met anyone in person, it was all done in by telephone line.

  Oh well, no loss.

  I love netflix!!

  No late fees, 3 movies at a time, and if there is a warehouse near where you live (there is one in Sacramento for me), you get the new movies in warp speed.

  I can mail a movie on monday, and have a new one on wednesday.

  They have I'm pretty sure every movie that has been put on DVD. The selection is great, and you can pre-order movies that haven't been released yet, and once they're released, they'll be in your queue.

  I think it's totally worth 20 a month.

  I'm really impressed by them.

  .

  last week, two police officers threw a cat into the river to drown it, after owner alleged it had attacked her and no longer wanted it.. .

  personally, i find it disgusting and completely inhumane.

  Any intelligent PERSON, much less a Police Officer, would've taken the cat to the Animal Shelter, at least. You don't just drown an animal because you don't know what to do with it.

  If anyone watches Animal Planet, there's a show about ASPCA police officers in NY that actually throw people in jail for doing similar things.

  does anyone know of any galleries, co-ops, etc...that would be interested in showing photographs?

  i'm trying to get a portfolio together of some of my photos, as well as possibly some artwork...but, mainly photos right now.

  i don't really know anyone around here, in the whole art world, and before i go hit the pavement w/ my little portfolio, i'm wondering if any of you know anyone that might be able to give me some advice, know people, etc... if you need any samples of photos, i'd be willing to provide.

  Hey, if they'd be willing to show my stuff, I'd be willing to drive it. Anywhere that's not 8 hours away from here would be fine. I just need to get going somewhere w/ it, and stop procrastinating.

  Office Space is damn funny.

  Got to go w/ Lord of the Rings Trilogy, as well....amazing stuff.

  But, I really, really like an older movie called "Empire of the Sun", with a very young Christian Bale. It's a very good movie about WWII in Shanghai, and all the British that were put in work camps.

  Generally, Witness Friends are no Prize

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in general, after nearly forty years in the "truth", i conclude that most witnesses are no prize as friends.. there are several reasons why:.

  their "love" is often very conditional and qualified - sort of a "i'll be your friend as long as you count time and attend meetings" situation.. they are often so busy with theocratic busywork ( field service, meetings) that they have little time left for anything .

  creative or interesting, like a real hobby.

  I always thought you'd been a real friend, even when you had your ballistic, wine-glass throwing episodes. haha.

  I had thought about trying to find you multiple times, but then, realizing how gung ho you were (or i thought you'd still be), i never tried.

  Probably because I didn't want to be disappointed, and didn't want to make you uncomfortable...I knew that if you were still ultra-pioneer girl, even if you'd wanted to talk to me, you'd have made the decision not to, for "the organization's sake".

  So, i'm glad you found me! :)
