Elders, apostasy and disfellowshipping issue's - thoughts please
by FeelingFree inok so... when i was talking to my mil about why i no longer wanted to be a witness she kept trying to convience me that i needed to speak to the elders.
i said from the word go i didn't feel the need to as my mind was already made up and no one could change it.
i also said if the elders new all my reasons for leaving they would view me as an apostate and i would get disfellowshipped.

Inserting the Governing Body in Scriptures
by lambsbottom ina church divided over leaders10 i appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our lord jesus christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.11 my brothers and sisters, some from chloes household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.12 what i mean is this: one of you says, i follow [the governing body]; another, i follow [the organization]; another, i follow [jehovah's witnesses] [b]; still another, i follow christ.. 13 is christ divided?
was [the governing body] crucified for you?
were you baptized in the name of [the governing body]?14 i thank god that i did not baptize any of you except crispus and gaius,15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.16 (yes, i also baptized the household of stephanas; beyond that, i dont remember if i baptized anyone else.

Phizzy ~ TWo elders visited me in my home 2 weeks ago. As I said, my publishers card was lost (I was told this by the elders). They said they called up Bethel and were given a copy. This is what they told me. Being a peon in the org, I only know what they tell me. It matters not to me.

THis is something I really, really hate...the Judging.....the infernal judging that never ends. why? why? why? Many Ex-JWs are as judgemental and pious as JWs. And I defend you... I won't do it again.
