  From an elder who came to encourage me....and I quote....

  "For half these people......the truth is their LAST GRASP on reality and sanity."

  Well......he was half right.

  a friend of mine is getting disfellowshipped.

  someone with a kind heart, and good rep. he knows how i feel, remains my firend, and we have respectful conversation.

  without revealing too much, lets just say the reason he is being disfellowshipped is for family problems.

  You think he was in trouble for stating the bible was history? What was the context of that comment.

  A friend of mine is getting disfellowshipped. Someone with a kind heart, and good rep. He knows how I feel, remains my firend, and we have respectful conversation. Without revealing too much, lets just say the reason he is being disfellowshipped is for family problems. But I know these people intimately. Its something crazy to be DF'd for. Take my word for it.

  He and his wife have been separated for a while. (He was an elder and stepped down on his own because he felt he wasn't presiding over his houshold in a fine manner). Yep......that type of guy. When he was telling me, he was mentioning how everyone would assume he cheated on his wife, which hurt him because he really loves her and has tried to deal with her etc....

  It reminded me of something I saw as a kid.

  A man in the hall was announced as disfellowshipped at the local announcements as was typical at the time.

  He ran up on stage and turned around to everyone and said loudly....."It was just for one cigarrette!!!"

  Then he stepped down and walked out. It wasn't my hall, I never know what happened to him. It remeinded me that part of the discipline seems to be humiliation. Assasination of character. At the time I thought it was inappropriate. Later i thought it was funny. Now I think it was courageous.

  Anyone go out with a bang that you know?

  my neighbor told me she had been talking about me recently.

  "i was saying to carrie in the office i just don't see how anyone can deny the existence of a higher power.

  she needed some q-tips, and found a box of them on the free table by the office.

  I think you guys are underestimating the importance of Q tips in society.

  Did this woman read "The Secret" (of narrcisism), or the bible to come up with this stuff?

  to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.

  around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.

  he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.

  I have an idea! I like golf. I have money to buy club things.

  Tell him you have a buyer, we make the deal, then later you can tell him that an apostate bought his clubs.

  So......did Jehovah provide or Satan?

  I don't believe that is the statement. Usually the phrase goes something like "Its a perfect organization, run by imperfect people".

  Every JW I know I get in contact with i make funof them about this. I mean EVERYONE!

  There is some MEME going around with Kermit looking surprised because the brother next to him is wearing "tight pants".

  Then the comments afterwards were cult mind control at the highest level.

  I had to chop off my fingers so that I wouldn't respond.
