Thanks everyone for replying. I didn't think anything could be done, but you never know lately!
Thanks Logical but I think I'll give MDS a miss
i've been asked to post this on behalf on someone.. can a person have any action taken against them if they refuse to accept a shepherding call?.
the circumstances are that they do not go out on service, but are regular at meetings.
they want to serve jehovah, but have lost all faith in the eldership arrangement.

despite an abundance of evidence that hits at the heart of the wts, it should be no surprise that many seem to ignore everything and continue.
you may wonder why particularly as many of us were in the wts and did not ignore the comprehensive mass of proof against the claims and teachings made.
typically brothers can enjoy themselves as elders.
Great post ISP
I'm so glad we have left while we are young, and the kids haven't been affected.
Some people have given so much of their lives to the 'truth'. You can understand why they choose to put their fingers in their ears. Also it is such a huge part of people's lives, some wouldn't be the same people if they didn't have it.
dear all.
i'm a new chap here, one of the old h2o refugees who seem to have been streaming to this place recently.. englishman suggested i post my "christmas shopping" post as a kind of introductory-hi-and-how-are-you.
hope you like it, despite it not being terribly seasonal at the moment.. i'll look forward to posting here in the future (original stuff i mean, not just reheated "greatest hits" like this).
Hi Duncan
Welcome to the board.
Love the story, sounds like it should be in the book Paradise lost, paradise regained

The circumstances are that they do not go out on service, but are regular at meetings. They want to serve Jehovah, but have lost all faith in the eldership arrangement. Up to now they have just made various excuses, but would like to say No outright, but they are worried that something would be done to them.
Any comments would be appreciated
Thanks

welcome, riz, glad to have you with us.
Hi to riz and all the new posters, I know I've missed some of you. Sorry, but you all very welcome
i would like to know who is an atheist here and why you like to take part in discussions on this board?.
thanks for your replies.
I still believe in some sort of higher being ('God'), but I don't think it is like the society teaches.
Also after learning a lot more about science and the Earth I cannot believe in the creation theory, evolution must happen and is happening.
hi all my old friends , it's good to be here.
looking forward to the fun .
Hi Delilah

i love hard rock, but i also like classical music.
listening to charlotte church sing "jerusalem" was spine tingling.
she's on pbs singing from jerusalem.
Simon's can do that, but in an entirely different way!
