would you go?
would you hire a lawyer?
play cat & mouse games?
Well, I just sent off a red-hot letter today. I had every intention of making a thoughtful, kind one, but I woke up in a "mood", and since I wanted to put it in today's mail, it was sent without any second thoughts. My husband approved, so that is really all that matters to me.
I wonder how this particular elder will like it when he reads that "he is no more appointed by God than a tree stump."
i just can't believe it!
after sending the elders a letter (see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/91796/1.ashx) we get a letter from elder s. that he understands that families are busy, can't be reached for short notice meetings, yada yada yada.
so they are setting another meeting for june 12. .
LOL You guys have some great responses!
And xjwms, we have never heard of this happening, either. Especially with OUR elders. We are shocked, but if they want to play a little game, well then, we'll play!
i have been concerned since i read on a couple of posts about the pro-jw documentary which is in the works to be publicly aired on pbs.
this is the website: http://www.knocking.org.
i studied the website, and it looks extremely favorable to watchtower.
There were some great letters on this subject written here. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/91954/1.ashx

No, we are not planning on going-we just wanted to mail them a response. They are feeling a "sense of urgency", apparently, about the apostate sticker. There is nothing they could do or say that will make me take it off.
I want to get this across to them with a note, but am not above giving them a few jabs in my letter to go along with it!
Any ideas?

So they are setting ANOTHER meeting for June 12. Seems they are especially concerned with my apostate sticker on the mailbox. We thought after telling them we were having a birthday party that that would end things.
What does it take to get disfellowshipped in this congregation, anyway??? I have a Silent Lambs sticker on my mailbox, wear a Silent Lambs tee shirt in public (gave a GREAT anti-witness to my child's pediatrician yesterday, by the way), have announced to everyone that will listen about Watchtower abuse, tell everyone we know that we are no longer witnesses....my husband even told an elder back in February that we are never coming back and mentioned Mexico/Malawi, etc.)
Tomorrow my new flag goes up on the side of our house. Perhaps that will help! LOL
We want to send another snappy retort that makes everything final. Anyone have any great ideas? Swan did so good with the last one!!!!
....because you got into trouble??

co producer/director of new pbs special slotted to be aired in 2006 has mother who is jw.

I'm impressed that they made the change.
on the other board i go to there is a thread about congressman lynch.
he is going after religions that hide pedophiles, specifically the jw's.
i thought maybe he should get some letters of support.
bttt I think this is important.
there was an article, i believe in the awake!, that talks about a hypothetical medical worker who in a hypothetical situation comes to find out that a jw has accepted a medical procedure that is not accepted by the wts.
this hypothetical worker must decide where or not she will report the hypothetical violation to the elders.
does anyone recall where i can find this article?
This is another one of those topics that the general public needs to be more aware.
I spoke at great length about this to my dentist who has a JW working for him in a brance office in another town. My next step is to inform the hospitals in a tri-city area about this. There is a dub who works in my childrens' pediatric office, and shunned me the last time I was there. That was my first clue I was being shunned, by the way. It was hilarious seeing her try not to make eye contact with me all the while having to ask me about my child! Her and her mother are super dubs, and I have no doubt that she would snoop and tell on people.
