Was it worth meeting with the judicial committee?
by 24k in

for those of you who met with a judicial committee and were subsequently da'd or df'd, was it worth the time and effort?

did the elders let you speak your piece, or were they only interested in hearing that key word or phrase that would allow them to act?

was there genuine interest shown, proboing questions asked, did they really want to know how you felt?

What did JW's do to wrongdoers before Disfellowshipping in 1952?

this question can best be answered by some old-timers that been around for many years.

i was wondering what did jw's do to people that refused to give up wrong conduct before the 1952 disfellowshipping came into place?

i know that in the 60's people were put on "probation" for wrongdoing but what about unrepentent sinners?

as a jw, when i'd find out someone got disfellowshipped, i'd shake my head and think, "what a selfish person.

choosing immorality (it had to be immorality) over jehovah.

i hope i never make such bad choices.

.

i was noticing, how the great majority who are fading, or are df or da, and post here, seem to go through a sincere personality change for the better.. it is of course a very humbling experience to find out how wrong and judgemental we were.. but is there a witness or two, who even if they posted here, you wouldn't trust them or like them.?

since my episode, which is chronicled elsewhere on this board, my jw parents are driving up from florida to stay a week with me.

my ex-wife, who *i* divorced mainly because she was jw, came to see me tonight without my calling, just to check up on me and make sure i was okay.. some jws aren't that bad, friends.

remember that when you think of blindly look to condemn them all.

hi my name is tanya and i am 21 years old i have been in the truth for almost 11 years.

i am a little shy and that's why its hard for me to meet a brother.

i hope to meet someone who's spiritual strong, who shows jehovah that they are a dedicated servant to him and who also put spirtual goals first.
