dear brothers,
This would have to be a joke
Please tell us the source of this infomation
i bumbed in to a old wts friend (who should not of spoken to me as i am disfelowshiped) she ask if i was going to go to the memorial?
i responded that i was thinking about it but did not know were the hall was or any details.
she gave me a number of the local cong.. i rang the cong and as a good dishfelowshiped person, i identifed my self and as a disfelowshiped person that was looking for info so i could attend.
After having the conversation with my old friend I thought that maybe my feeling for the org are unjustifided.
since my exp. I will not be contacting them ever again and now no that my feeling are fully justifided

The bro was very nice and told me of the address and time. I told this bro that I was new to this area and did not know were the address was and he said that he would drop a map over for me. (Muchly apprecated)
2 days later I phoned and he apploligesed for not dropping around and said he would come around tonight 3 day later I spoke to his wife and she said that she would remind him. It has now been 2 more day and no response.
I always thought that if you asked for help from the elder then thay would always assist.
Don't look like Im going to the memorial now then does it.
Any comments on this???
i have just finished reading a book called gender outlaw.
in this book the righter has an opion that gender is based on "moden life" rather then the "human form", ie do you look, act, talk and have the package of a male or female in your current state and even life upbringing - or were we born male or female and that is that.. if we look, act and talk and even have the package of the gender that we insist that we are, does that mean we are male or female ( i say that i am a woman, i have the package of a woman, i look like a woman and i talk like a woman, my drives licence and birth certificate say that im a woman) so what am i ???.
the reason that i am asking this is, i had a visit from a elder (that i have never meet before)and he was talking about my transexuality and the reason i was dfs.
Very interesting point Blondie
If the spirit realm is genderless that must mean that Jehovah does not view gender a very important.
Maybe he views all people as equal and does not discriminate genders> If this is the case then why does the Org put such a high piorety over male and females
Food for thougth

The elder and my self were just having a conversation and as he agreed with my views on gender, I thought that I could get him to see the silly ways that the Jws think. He just put his own feeling aside and told me what the Organisation says
Bit shallow if you ask me

The reason that I am asking this is, I had a visit from a elder (that I have never meet before)and he was talking about my transexuality and the reason I was Dfs. He agreed with my above coment, I asked if there would ever be any chance that I could be reninstated? His answer at this time was not untill I revert back to being a male. Thing is I was never a full male to start with I was born "Hermaphodite" and never had the complete package of a male.
So I ask the Question to the readers
I have the package that a woman has, I look like a women, I talk like a women, my birth certificate say Im a woman, SO WHAT AM I????
Any answers please

I got invited to this wine and cracker night comming up, thing is I don't the person that invited me and when I ask if I needed to bring any cheese he hung up on me. Go fig.
i just thought that i would share my life as a jw.
i was born into this cult in 1973. i was born as a hermaphodite (both sexes) this was of great shock to my parents, apparently the confided in one of the elders asking him what thay should do?
his respones was that i should be made male (the doctors at the time said i should be female) my parent took the avice of the elder and i was the made to be a male.. as i was growing up i beged my parents to allow me to be the person that god had wanted me to be but the elders kept reasuring me and my parent that god wanted me to be a male so that i could one day be a elder or s/overser.. in my teen years it became very apparent that my parents had made a mistake as i would act in a very female way.
I was sent to schoool but did not do very well as I was always being pick on and have major depresion most of my childhood I did not have the stamina to learn most of the basics.
Thank you all for your kind words and support it is just so nice to belive that there is some realy nice people in the world It is just so nice.
there is a pioneer in a nearby congregation, that my jw friend told me about recently.
this person is a woman, but used to be a man.
everyone has accepted her, and they all talk about what a good example, and what a wonderful pioneer she is.
I am a transexual that was dishfellowshiped from the Jws. I am not going to wright about it he but you are more then welcome to read my topic in the life experance forum it's called TWISTED LIFE.
The current standing is that Transexuality in any form is a big NO-NO
