Yes, she was disfellowshipped recently for throwing herself continuously at a certain young brother until she made him fornicate with her. Good thing that he was disfellowshipped also.

Sorry. A 14 year old child facing a life-time sentence of exile from her family - That is just plain criminal. It's child endangerment. It's abominable behaviour.

It's criminal negligence. It's parents walking away from their children when they need them most.

I remember when I was a teen, parents would talk about encouraging their children to get baptized so it would take pressure off the parents. The kids would then become the elders 'problem'. The parents who push their children into pre-/teenage baptism, in my opinion, are mostly trying to get out of their own god-given responsibilities.

I am horrified that I ever went along with it at all.

The longer I'm out the more upset I become with this action.

Hi Justin -

Welcome to JWD!

I'm confused, though...:

I've been to lots of congregations as my dad was in the army until about a year ago. I've also lived in Ottawa and North Bay in Ontario and spent a few years in Kamloops, BC.
I grew up as a witness but when my family moved to Calgary my dad stopped attending meetings so I saw it as a way out.

Are you saying that your dad was a witness at the same time he was in the military?? How is that possible?

FORTUNE COOKIES!!!!

My parents wouldn't let us eat fortune cookies because the demonized by spiritism, UNTIL... a visit with the circuit overseer. CO and his wife stayed with us and my parents took us all out for chinese. End of the meal, the cookies are served. FIRST one to grab one was the CO, "Oh Good!! I just love these!!"

After that, we were allowed to have those demonized treats.

But not the Devil Dogs.

Deviled Eggs were OK as long as we called them 'stuffed eggs'

"They have NEVER lied"

by Robert_V_Frazier in

in this post over at carm, http://tinyurl.com/84ntg a jw from australia who goes by the handle "corvus" made a rather audacious claim:[the society] have never lied to, mislead or decieved anyone - they have made mistakes.. .

in response, i listed four lies that the society has made, three of which are easily investigated and proven to be lies.

1) the cover story that beth-sarim was built to house resurrected old testament saints who were coming back in 1925, when in fact, the house was built to get rutherford away from bethel.

Don't they still say that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BCE??

Don't they say that all apostates are miserable devil-worshippers?

Readers want to know if it is proper for a Christian

by Honesty in

to own stock in a corporation whose main interests are warfare technology?

Aude_Sapere

I think this question is worthy of being submitted in a letter to the WT society. See what they say they after getting a reply, take their response and the info about them owning stock in the Rand corp and taking out an ad in the paper with all that info in it.

I bet they don't respond.

by Fatfreek in

i?m doing some research on disfellowshipping, disassociating, and the simple resignations of people from the watchtower society ?

jehovah?s witnesses.

i?m especially interested in the effects it has had on the parents and the children who become estranged by the snubbing rule.

Here's a link to a thread from here a month or so ago.

It might help.
