Any true connoisseur of JWs knows very well that individuals such as Prince, Michael Jackson, the Williams sisters, etc., only speak of being JWs, but rebuke the faith with their contrary actions.

If you have been inactive for over a year can you get disfellowshipped?
by cognac ini've read conflicting things so was hoping to get this clarified.. .

No.
Not participating in the preaching work is not a disfellowshipping offense by itself. However, it's often a symptom of something more serious going on beneath the surface. Usually inactive JWs do end up disfellowshipped in the long run because of conduct unbecoming a Christian.

Preaching work during any holiday is among the worse ways to waste one's time. Never did it, and never will.

This is what brings about change and progress inside an org by imperfect men. I look forward to the time when a formal background check and personal references will be required of anyone seeking a position of authority inside the Org.

Just in case leadership checks out this site, so many of us JWs would welcome this special meeting as replacement to one of the circuit assy, also knock the Friday out of the regional conv.
Jehovah please answer our prayers!

The battles are long and drawn out, but worth it.
Abusers should not go unnoticed and unpunished, and any organization that protects them should be punished to the full extent of the law.
Jehovah takes too damn long! Abusers do their deed now, therefore, shall pay now!

Hi,
Get yourself very occupied with school and work; say nothing regarding spiritual stuff to nobody! For meeting attendance, develop these blinding migraines or horrible backaches that you just cannot attend as regular as usual.
There are myriads of ways how to begin a fade, or just do as little as possible in order not to lose your family. Pay attention to find kindred spirits within the Org and just start hanging out with your type of JW.
The quite large crew I roll with we are a bunch of quite liberal/moderate JWs, and we keep it very comfortable among us. It is sad to see people suffering in what should be a good way to live one's short life.

Hi,
Welcome to this most colorful online folks.
I have been at plenty of gatherings where non-practicing JWs have attended. I have been polite to them all the time there; reasonable, moderate JWs will be polite, not overly friendly of inclusive, but definitely polite. The orthodox ones will make you feel shunned and unwelcomed. Just gravitate towards the polite ones and you will be alright. Enjoy the occasion!

Why is that family making this woman a media spectacle? Some people want to be in the limelight so much!

Anyone who feels and indeed knows they've been wronged NEEDS to demand and fight for justice. How else will the bad seed be cast away from the leadership?!
When Paul felt wronged, he then appealed to Cesar. We have been encouraged in the past to follow his example.
Demand your rights, this is one of the ways reform will come about. I look forward to when it becomes mandatory for elders to report all abuse to the local authorities rather than just keep it hush to try to save face.
