From what I gather you were never baptized? They have no authority over you, by your remarriage before you could prove adultry by you ex, you have committed adultry in the eyes of the organization, since they have taken no action against you and you dont want to return it simple, tell them you joined another church, you dont have to defend yourself and you dont have to stress over an attack stratigy. You dont want it and thats all they have to know.

Long story, will get to the end. Did it all as a JW, married a pioneer, both multi generation witnessese, DA ourselves 15 years ago, shunned by all our families and life long friends. Lost her six years ago to cancer, she made a last minute return for the "love" of her family, so I lost her too. Her father, who was the only dad I had known my adult life passed away last night he was 95. The pain is I cant go to the funeral and it brings home the whole asbense of true Christain love that organization is lacking. I always knew there was no natural affection, when with one breath they say have a enought love to die for your brother, but then cast him out if he makes a human mistake with the next breath. I had never felt that blockaid in returning to Jehovah before, first blocked by the ones on earth that are supposed to love you then blocked by the organization. From my experiense on this web site I see so cleaarly WHY th WTBTS does not want anyone who has been OUT back in. We pose too big a threat to thier little kingdom. But it still hurts, it was a life time for me. The mistrust of everyone but JWs that brainwashed into you has kept me pretty much to myself. Those still in that organization that dont shun DAs are the ones I still associate with, carefully giving them the knowledge and courage to get out.
Thanks had to get that off my chest.

Was you ever an attendent or had an attendent in the family?
by jayhawk1 ini got to thinking about the conventions and such today.
here is a guy... always a guy who is in charge of a section of seating.
his job is to get up every so often and count people.

Yes, only I was to keep a low profile, myself and a few other brothers who has recently been released from prison were chosen and asigned for "security" in the areas the the GB moved through at the convention. We had just endured an ordea, some of up to 5 years, that prepared us, suspicius of everyone and looking for a fight to pick out outsiders looking to harm or distrupt the convention. How did we fell about it..Like Jehovahs protecting angels.

Would you die for your brother......
by loosie ina thought popped into my head today.
remember how inside the congregation we were taught that we should our love our brothers so much that we would die for them?.
now why were taught to trust and love our brothers and sisters so much mush that we would do that for them?.

The command is not about who, but about why. Its not the "brother" but the brotherhood. Ones death will not save another if they are unworthy of Gods forgiveness. But obedience to the principle is what brings reward.

they'd find another legal loophole to get around it, after all "theocratic stratgy", lying, is ok if it accomplishes "Gods will". Everything they say is in the third party so they never have to take responseablity for they actions, doctrin or prophesys.

How does a JW get around the scripture, "Every knee will bow..."?
by jgnat injust some private pondering here.
as i watched a good friend get baptized, i wondered, how does a jehovah's witness explain isaiah 45:22-23/romans 14:11?
in these two scriptures, god says that one day everyone will honor him.

Christ bought the world of mankind since Adam with his blood, all will have a resurection that did not know him befor his coming and starting Christianity and those that died never hearing about him. Those raise after the great tribulation will number in the billions and fill the earth, and learn about Chirst and have the chance to except him.
