Family gathering before disfellowshiping
by Mattieu inif you were/are in the sydenham (melbourne/victoria) congo you may be very familiar with this a few years back.
a prominent elder who likes the sound of his own voice (hint, his initials are william saad) yes of quite a well connected family, was on a judicial committee who was disfellowshiping one of his own male relatives for repeated marijuana usage.. this story by the way shows how corrupt the whole system is.
as williams family (elders and c/o) had covered up the previous few sorrid outcomes of his drug usage, they couldn't contain the last public viewing of his drug dependency, witnessed by many witnesses ironically... so they held a jc to disfellowship him.

New Day
My Dad was an Elder (deceased) all my life. He was fair, impartial and kind like you. I know there are a few out there.
I kuddo you. I wish there were more Elders out there like you were.
I can almost guarantee that if my Dad were alive today he would be deleted or resign as an Elder. It seems the genuine/kind/loving ones don't last. We have witnessed that several times in our own family.
Sad to say.

Old Memories Revisited - or - How to Stop Worrying and Love WT Indoctrination
by undercover ini remember when i was a kid, how the importance of meeting attendance was continually drummed into our heads.
through the magazines, meetings, and especially traveling overseers, it was stressed that missing just one meeting was akin to allowing satan into our lives and would jeopardize our everlasting life in paradise earth.. one particular bit of 'advice' stood out, even to a small child: even if out of town relatives showed up on meeting day, you shouldn't let that cause you to miss a meeting.
i remember trying to play that out in mind... 'welcome, grandpa!

Bottom line....these people just can't make the time for you. It's all pleasantries. "Oh we should get together sometime." Yadda yadda. They couldn't give 2 hoots about getting together with you. Professional BS'ers!
The only time the looovvvee to get together is when it's on your tab and the booze is flowing (on your dime of course!

questions
by DanielC ini've been dating a jw girl for about 4 years and we've recently had a lot of issues with the fact that her family doesn't like that i'm not a jw.
i've been looking into the religion and am interested in it.
but is it wrong to join just so i don't lose her?

Don't do it. The JW religion will dig to your VERY core and you will never be the same. They get under your skin and up you a**.
Tough when you are first in love but as time goes on you just don't realize how much the JW thing affects every aspect of your life.
There isn't a day that goes by that I wish I wasn't born in to the craziness of the JW's.

They only care about themselves......
by dubstepped ini've watched the reaction to the nepal disaster for the first time with eyes opened.
lots of comments about praying for the brothers and sisters affected.
the official release on the website references only the sister and her two children that died, along with the impact on the brothers there.

Yes...JW's are the very definition of doom and gloomers! No wonder they are all depressed. I know more JW's that are on antidepressants and alcohol that the "worldly wicked" ones. No wonder! -

Witnesses Preach to Dog
by snugglebunny in"in el salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovahs witnesses nearby.
the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.
the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

It's all about who you know. If the DF'd relative just continues to come to meeting regularly, he won't be out long. Membership has it's privileges. It's all in who you are. We've seen this all our lives. If an Elders kid gets in trouble and they can't hide it. The kid gets a slap on the wrist. DF'd for 6 months or less.
We witnessed a loosey goosey sister (Very attractive) get DF'd for 6 months. She was caught screwing everything with pants on. Got DF'd for 6 months. Hmmm...I wonder how she got "back in" so quickly? lol
On a positive note. Maybe the doobie smoking relative brought some primo weed to the farewell party. Nothing would surprise us!

Yeah right. "To save time." They are not getting the free labor like they used to. I think a lot more people think this BS. The money grab, the generation garbage and the tight pants zone talk got a lot of people thinking. -
