  (2. after offering prayer without the disfellow-shipped person present, invite him into the room.

  ) i needed answers to as why the elders would not pray when they talked to me in the room.

  3 letters have been sent to get reinstated and all denied and forgotten!

  So sorry to hear you have been hurt. It's tough being kicked to the curb. I had it done by one of my closest family members. It sucks.

  You have received some great advise on here. It's an eye opening experience to realize there is NO holy spirit and these guys just want power over you. It's a Mother may I game, getting reinstated. We had a family member DF'd for 2 years and she practically had to grovel to get reinstated.

  Keep reading COC and learning what is behind the ugly curtain. This has been a great site for me. I don't feel all alone and it reassures me that I am not the only one feeling the way I do.

  Keep us posted.

  A question .....

  hi guys - new poster here.

  i was brought up a jw in the uk and stopped going not long after i was married.

  that was 20 years ago so i'm not really up to date with the current doctrinal flip flops or the new youtube obsessed gb.. came across this site while googling the name of a local elder who's just been convicted of possesion of a pc full of unpleasant pics of kids.. so, my question.

  I couldn't do it anymore. I could not sit in the Kingdom Hall for 1 more meeting but some on here have so many close by family members. I feel for those ones. It's tough to go through. The sad part is, that NO ONE should have to go through this. The most descriptive statement made by the Australian Royal Commission was...this is a captive organization. It is!

  Can somebody explain the songs and songbook obsession?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.

  but one thing i've noticed that the org.

  has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.

  I believe each GB member has his own special project. David Splane seem to be in all the new song video's and even directing the chorus. What ever the case, the new songs are not very good.

  Untrusted

  by Esmeralda001 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  greetings,it seems that jw immediately assume that all "wordly" people (as they like to call it) are immoral and unworthy of their trust.

  i sort of understand how it can be dangerous for a christian to have association with someone who doesn't share their values, but don't you think that some members take the conceal lied in corinthians 15:33 to the extreme?

  what about romans 2:14?

  The JW's have the dirtiest minds. They think everything and everyone is evil and everyone will have sex with one another. They don't even trust other JW's.

  If you are studying with these people...RUN! We were born in (50 plus years) and is just gets worse the longer you stay in.

  I like Giordno's idea. Once you mention legal counsel they will run for the hills. Just say NO to bullying!

  I also like the finger salute! lol

  The sister's who saw your husband. Have already spread this information to the entire circuit, then to your elders. Don't waste your time on people that are only looking to cause you harm! Enjoy your life.
