  Question: Can't You Just Ignore A Judicial Committee?

  by Sorry in

  2. beliefs

  one thing i've never understood is judicial committees.

  yes, i understand it's held to see if elders should go through with the disfellowshipping process.

  but why give them all the power?

  Good review for me. Let me know if I could require that my husband be in the room with me though he's longer inactive than I.

  Thank you

  For various reasons over last decade or so, all 11 in my family are now out. My immediate family and I were the remaining holdouts and still a bit sticky.

  Will the talk where They say treat inactive ones as apostates back fire?

  by Crazyguy in

  a few years ago they had a similar talk and my mother stopped talking to my sister.

  after a few weeks the sister called and when mom told her my sister said but i love your my mother.

  something to that effect.

  It seems new to me or maybe I'm just taking things different now. My take is that inactive ones are to be assumed as wrong-doers and pre-emptively shunned as if DF. That seems way more intolerant and bully like than what I heard last xouple years and that started me to awaken faster.

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  So glad no one seriously hurt.

  Too many older ones who maybe should not be driving is all that may be going on. Perhaps not taking her meds right. Who knows for sure?

  i feel sorry for her.

  This goes against the counsel to imitate the Boreans IMHO.

  i have had little stomach to read since AM3 gave the special talk...

  I am disturbed yet again by such an article and the experiences ones have experienced where JWs refuse to even watch livestream of ARC as if it is evil.

  I feel more and more upset and wanting to just DA or just announce casually and openly, when it comes up, that I do not agree or believe all they teach.

  Let the chips fall...

  So glad to hear a sister in Japan used her critical thinking skills to wake up.
