  .

  i have been informed on good authority (a dub for 27 years) that you cannot get disfelowshiped for committing a wrongdoing, only for being unrepentant.. can anyone tell me if this is true or not, and if it is not where the misunderstanding comes from?

  please bear with me through this, this could likely become lengthy.

  i feel it's time for me to give you my story as a dub.

  i was born and raised in an extremely "hardcore", strict witness home.

  NEW LIGHT!!!!!!!!!

  by minimus in

  we heard new light this evening.

  a local needs talk was given about how anyone that knows someone might be dating a non- witness and doesn't report it to the elders is actually hindering the free flow of jehovah's holy spirit.

  yes, if the "sin" goes unreported, the whole congregation will be affected, just as in the case of achan and his family!

  Did you get anyone into the Borg?

  by FiveShadows in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am fortunate enough to say "no.

  " i tried very hard to get people to come to meetings and assemblies...and during it all i was bored out of my mind and had a voice in my heart keep saying "what if what you think is the 'truth' is not really the "truth" and you stand before the throne to be judged?

  would these people take your place and die for you because you believed in them and not jah?

  ARE JW'S MORE HONEST THAN OTHERS?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that the witnesses promote is how they are different from the rest of the world.

  in your personal experience , did you find that you could trust a witness more than you could a non-jw?

  2. friends

  many of the posters here have been in the organization for years.during the time that you have been associated, have you ever had to go before a commitee?

  did you confess to something or were you confronted by the elders?

  were you ever accused of something but it couldn't be proven?
