mass mailing to get DF'ed

by mineralogist in

.

if i would write a letter to all members of my congregation stating "i had a jc and will be df'ed and this would be announced in near future" - would i get df'ed or would the wts consider this daing?

Lostreality

i think that the first person who didnt understand it would call the elders, when they said that there was in fact, no JC, the jig would be up.

Just my 2 cents

"God Protected Our Home in Florida..."

by FreePeace in

i can't stand it when i hear a person saying how god "protected our house," when their neighbor's house lies in ruins.

i can prove this is pure, unadulterated, bullshit:

our home was left virtually untouched, and the house across the street lost their roof.

Lostreality

I am suddenly reminded of a simpsons episode, in which Flander's house was destroyed.

Only Flander's House.

so he went crazy.

lol, i guess we can always hope that about those people eh?

Dubs who shun those not DFed/DAed who fade

by gumby in

lately i have been reading alot about those who cease the dub life, and though they are not officially dfed or daed, are treated as though they are by dub family and friends.

when i was a dub , i remember viewing those who did not come to meeting's anymore nor field service......as simply "weak" or inactive.

never do i remember shunning or snubbing those who seemed to fade away.

Things kids say & do that bring a lump to your throat

by Simon in

you know what i mean ... when they do something **so** nice that you nearly start to blub !!.

the other day angharad had gone out and i was joking with the kids that with mum gone, they could have a pint of beer with me if they wanted (to see what they would say).. liam (7) told me in an earnest voice "dad, i don't think i'm old enough to drink beer yet.

i think i have to be 16" (16 = grown up to him for everything ... he's already sussing out how old he needs to be to drive).. well, i told him how i was proud he was so sensible and wasn't afraid to stand up and say "no" and that i was really looking forward to when he was old enough to take me out and buy me a pint of beer (ok, father-son moment ... i was getting emotional already).

wish i could have an experience like that....mmm..children...damnit, now i want one...

coolest thing about your old KH?

by Lostreality in

.

at my old hall, after the new sound system was installed, it would pick up am radio.. i have never known so much about the seattle mariners as i did in the 3 months it took them to find a fix for it.

Lostreality

Haha, i remember a KH with windows.

Up in the woods, uptop on a hill, overlooking a nice country roadway and green forest area...so said they tore it down to make a new hall with no windows.

The WT versus hobbies

by Bonnie_Clyde in

someone already pointed out the 8-15-04 wt where a couple boxed their hobby items and put them away so they would have more time for spiritual pursuits.

however, when i saw the 8-22-04 awake i told me husband, "looks like it didn't take long to get that box out of the attic.

" on the front of the magazine there is a picture depicting a father and son assembling a model car.

Lostreality

Yeah..I loved everything BUT furthering my spiritual goals.

Just like evryone else i know thats still in the with the other dubs.

Question... Do JWs shun Family?

by Sassy in

i had a disagreement with xq in chat today, because he was trying to say that jws for the most part disobey the wts and still treat family like family even if they are dfd or quit being witnesses.. i don't feel that is true.

i think that the majority of us on here who no longer are jws have family members who no longer have anything to do with us and shun us.... so i said it would be interesting to take a poll and see how many here are treated just like all the rest of your 'loving family' who is a jw still.......are you treated the same?.

does family shun you for being df'd, da'd or no longer participating?or do they hide and talk to you but only when other active jws can't see?

Lostreality

Yes.
