this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.
why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.
just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.
It almost makes me want to orchestrate a giant, multi-national, simultaneous protest by mass amounts of ex-jws wearing a tailored turquoise dress and pumps. And then post selfies on Facebook.
Think about it. It could be our Project Chanology. We could do it on the 101st anniversary of Not Armageddon, 10/1/15.
I will hold the sign only with my middle fingers, and my sign will say, "<----SHUN THIS---->".

Start French kissing your wife with the other sista's arm still around her. Moan gently.
Have your wife slip some fake bugs onto her shoulder where the other sista's hand usually lands.
Have your wife place some dried milk flakes on her scalp. When the sista touches her, she should shake her head vigorously. It will rain "dandruff".

Funny, I've recently noticed on another forum multiple threads on what to do if your neighbor is bothering you. It doesn't seem to occur to people to just politely discuss it.
If you're having that much difficulty, use your sense of humor.
Make a fake ragazine with an article about how PDA is not appropriate in some cultures and could lead to stumbling. Highlight it and pull it out during the meeting.
Put your arm around her other shoulder, weave your fingers with Sister Touchtoomuch's fingers, and gently stroke her hand with your thumb. Bonus points if you first use that hand to pick your nose vigorously.
I can think of approximately 1000 more.
i am on here as another member, but even with a username and not revealing my identity, i am still too embarrassed to use it.
had to make up a new one.
that being said.... my boyfriend is watching pornography, and it seriously hurts my feelings.
You know what you need to do. The hard part is doing it.
so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.
the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.
he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.
This notion is not new. Back in the 80s they would say if you are not doing everything you can for the sky daddy, "strenuously exerting yourself", then jehoopla would execute you. Spit you out of his mouth because you're lukewarm.
Hence we were supposed to use every free moment to worship him. For example, I was made to preach and read magazines during school lunch. Walking to school was to be spent praying and meditating. Every second was to be used to fill one's mind with jehoopla, otherwise satan would have a way in.
Basically they required us to brainwash ourselves.
everyday i wake up with knots in my stomach and trouble breathing.
my life continues to go into a downward spiral.
in the past, i had my dependence on god.
It's all a ruse, dude. I have the perfect solution!
Get busy living a life worth living (which means be happy, surround yourself with nice people, make the most of your brain and your time, add positive things to the community). If God/Jehovah/Thor/Isis/etc. someday makes himself known to us, and he's a guy worth worshiping, he'll be happy you made the most of his gift and were an awesome person. If he doesn't ever make himself known to us, you win too, because you're awesome.
i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.
a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.
one of them, a very attractive girl.
why are only pioneers allowed to do "metropolitan witnessing"?
why do they need "special training" to stand like a zombie for hours, speaking only to their fellow elite?.
even a pioneer's mother couldn't answer me!.
it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.
i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.
a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.
she asked jehovah to remove me from her heart
This is a jw schtick I had forgotten.
Well she's asking the right person. He's really skilled at hatred.
