i don't typically hear from my mom often, but i tell you, over the past couple of weeks, i have heard from her several times.
you heard the comment about "our way of worship will be altered" and thank you for your posts by the way....but yesterday, she calls and is asking about the kids and then, in typical jw fashion mind you, says:.
"you know, you should really get back to meetings.

hmm, how about a sex craved Solomon? or rahab? even jesus, he had a temper, tossing over those tables.
just checked the faq on jw.org as i wanted to show a df'd friend of ours how dishonest they were being about thier shunning policy.. well don't you know they've only gone and got honest about shunning df'd ones:.
'we do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin.
if, however, a baptized witness makes a practice of breaking the bibles moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped.
so the next time someone is on the hot seat, shall they print that statement up,
and hold it up for those who are on the judicial committee to read?
and then say to them, what about this, which use of the word , moral, will you use today?
what is deceiving is the use of the word 'moral' which can be interpreted in many ways to suit the situation, and thus apply it to 'principals' not morals.
and those principals of those men who are on the seat of judgment.

my mother in law lost her husband to cancer recently.
so feeling lonely and been pushed by her sister (active witness) after not stepping in a hall for 20 years she went to a sunday meeting.
one meeting where she had the surreal experience of having to watch a "special talk" on jw tv.
