the twilight zone" has its affect in this instance, granted apostate" means basically someone who changes sides; but for the love of mike the jehovah's witness's did the same thing with the "bible students" and then denigrated them to lower position than pagans, and then railroaded them to the way side through deception and greed.
lest ways the bible studens" stayed with in their own light more reasonably than they did.
apostates unite!
My older brother bless his heart, tried to tell me just how mean and nasty they were to him for viewing some point diferently, but like a faithful little sheep I turned my back on my loving brother simply because he voiced his own feelings from time to time; not anymore I am a mighty Goat!
But again I say Unite all you Goats.

since it is well defined that when the wt kicks you out you are disfellowshipped - there action.
and that when you want to leave you disassociate - your action.
how is it that the wt can da you?
Well, they have been doing it for quite sometime now, and I don't think there is any case law in the past where anyone won in that situation.
some big fat liar made sumthin up again!
looky here what i went and found in the bible!
remember that little dove that desended down on jesus right after he was baptised by john?
Your sure find those plump lies.

the article that bothered me the most was when they said if you work in a doctors office you must report to the elders if a brother or sister comes to the doctor with a (questionable) problem..
i read this comment by galaxy7 in an older post, never heard this before.
does anyone know which publication?.
I hate it when the Witness's say "You Must" do this or that. I should have long ago told them to pound sand. But like a foolish little lamb I did what I was told, but now I am mighty Goat, Baaaah Baaaah.

ok friends.....multi part question for you..... 1) what do you think is the view of the jw organization toward people with disabilities ?.
2) what are your personal views ?
(pwd as workers, parents, objects of affection, intimate partners).
I have found them to be real Rats, lest ways they were with me. I had to go into the second ministry school room to help avoid the triggers of seizures but they would not let me, my brother in-law was an elder there and he was a real horses ass concerning this. I am surprised they did not think I had a demon or something. Shane

hey!.
i'm new to the site but, would love to talk to other ex jws in the area.. curlygirl
I lived in Friday Harbor, WA for a while, man what a real great little town but the hall there is such controling place I could not stand it.
It seemed like that as a teenager I had my most erotic dreams when I slept during meetings, it was my only consolation for even being there other than the fact my dad kicked my arse out the door and into the station wagon. I slept through the watch tower study, and talk, it was always way too early in the morning for me. ZZZZZZZZ's Shane
i'm wondering if our departure has cost the society and local congregations money.
I only donated if my ex-wife twisted my arm. I felt that if its the true faith God would take care of the money.
as an active witness, you won the lottery and offered to contribute a large portion of that to the worldwide work?.
- take the money and cover up your "wrongdoing"?.
- take the money and df you?.
You would most certainly be at the very lest publicly reproved or disfellowshiped. I have gambled many times, but I don't give a molded Pizza Crust how they feel. I enjoyed ever min of it, I might suggest "Double Diamonds" three dollar slots. Shane
my name is jaron, 19 years old, i'm from the netherlands, and in about a month i am going to start joining the jw's meetings and i'm kind of looking forward to become a jw.
i can of course tell ya'll my entire spiritual story, but that would take an entire bookwork.
in a nuttshell: my father is an ex-jw, my half-sis (from an earlier marriage from my dads) is one of those "special pioneers", and i am jewish (my mom is jewish).
Hey Jaron ask the Elders if after you are dedicated if you can question the teaching or at lest some of and see what they say I am sure it will be negative even if just over a little thing. Jaron you can question it now but you just have to fully join and you will slam ducked it you can't or won't swallow some aspect all of them.
