  See this is what really bothers me about disfellowshipping people.

  You are obviously very sorry for what you did. You admitted it and said you would never do it again. Why does it matter how long you did it or who knew. I know you went to God in prayer and ask for forgiveness. God can read your heart and tell that you are sorry. So why do you have to be punished so severly for a mistake. It just doesn't make sense. It seems as if the elders are more worried about how it will look on them and the congregation than if you are truly repentant or not. I know that God has forgiven you (if it was actually a sin and not some Watchtower rule) so why can't the organization. It just goes to show that this organization is not God's organization.

  I wish you the best and remember, you've got your whole life in front of you. Take this time to open up your mind and explore the world.

  Anybody read this book?

  by Hecklerboy in

  it's called "the history of god... the 4,000 year quest of christianity, judism, and, islam".. i just read the introduction so far and from what i can tell the author shows how the idea of god changes with every generation.

  and the way the 3 main monotheistic religions have viewed god over the centuries.

  looks very interesting.

  Yep, Karen Armstrong, that's her. From what I've read it sounds like she was raised a Catholic. I wonder if the Catholics have banned that book the way the Borg banned C.O.C and I.S.O.C.F. by Ray Franz?

  Thanks for the recommendation Shakita. I'll check it out after I read this one.

  If God does bring an Armagedon someday I don't think your status in an organization will matter to him. He will read the heart condition of the individual and decide. We all know that there are good, loving people throughout the world. In different religions and some that don't even believe in God. People have different trials and tribulations in their life and can change their thinking about religion, life, and even God. But I believe that God can look at a person and see if he/she is a good person. All these rules and regulations have been made up by man to keep people in line. God doesn't care if your disfellowshiped or about your meeting attendance. He knows you and see you for the person you are. Live your life and enjoy it.

  Just my $.02 worth.

  Lying generally involves saying something false to a person who is entitled to know the truth

  So that's how the justify lying when it's "theorcratic warfare". It's OK to lie to someone when they don't deserve the truth. How twisted is that?

  Demon fear was big in the congregation I grew up in. My mother made me throw away a Duran Durna cassette (Rio) because it had some phrase in a song about demons dancing around a fire. I remember praying every night up till I was around 16 years old that I wouldn't see a demon at night. They really pounded it into you. According to them the demons were everywhere just waiting to pounce on you of you did anything that Jehovah didn't approve of. Now I see it's just another aspect of their mind control.
