why disfellowshipped?

as a new unbaptized publisher, i would really like to know why some of you were disfellowshipped if you don't mind sharing your stories.

thanks.

words fail...yet this was a strong impression I received growing up--that one was not to speak too much or too highly of Jesus, and householders in FS who did were viewed as a bit "imbalanced"...ok then.

I don't know what the elders have on file as their official reason for DFing me as they never told me what it was nor did they inform me that they were going to DF me.

During a meeting with me at my apartment (I let them in, thinking they must be checking on me to see how I was recovering from a serious car accident I had been in the previous winter--yes, I am that dumbI had known two of them most of the years I was growing up in the cong) they asked me about a couple things.

I had not been associated with any cong for several years, so they wanted to know if I still considered their "faithful and discreet slave" to be God's representatives on earth...I said, "NO." The other thing they were concerned about was whether or not my ex-husband was "scripturally free" to re-marry...I said, "Yes." They wanted details. I refused to comply.

I guess they didn't want to DF me, cos they then asked me to write a letter to the congregation DAing myself. Instead, I wrote them a letter explaining why I would not DA myself and why I felt it would be neither beneficial nor necessary for them to DF me. I never heard back from them, but did hear (I can't even remember from who) that I was DFed.

Hope that helps.

I just had to share this.....

no matter your belief system is, having this approach to things will not work.. http://www.truechristian.com/masturbation.html.

Myth: Masturbation is harmless.
Reality: Christianity proves that chronic Masturbation causes weakness, depression, forgetfulness and nearsightedness.

I'm puzzled...HOW exactly does Christianity PROVE this? Are ALL Christians weak, depressed, forgetful, and nearsighted? Or are NO Christians weak, depressed, forgetful, and nearsighted?LOL So is this a spoof site or is it for real?

sng here, reporting live in japan.

i've just returned from a three-day trip to kyoto, which must surely be one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

MerryMagdalene

Simply beautiful...thanks so much for sharing. I've always wanted to go to Japan too. My grandmother's aunt spent some time there and I have some of the gifts she sent my grandmother from there (some 75 years ago).

Awww shucks, Skyman...total bummer. Do you think we could get away with having a party for you at my house??? I sorta live right next door to a JW family who have told their eldest son that he can't talk to us cos we're traitors that don't love Jehovah...but maybe we could make it a costume party and wear disguises so no nosey neighbors know who's present LOL

Here ya go--for the last 41 years, my friend...

How about a big aposta-party for #42 ???

Cool birthday party stories!!! Love it...

I was 27 when my new best friend, her husband, and my husband threw me my first birthday party. Dinner, cake, candles tears and when they gave me my present to open my hands trembled. My friend was so surprised and concerned at my unexpected emotional reaction. She'd celebrated everything her whole life and it being a new experience for me was a new experience for her too. I also enjoyed my first Christmas celebration with her family...
