by AK - Jeff inwe use df'd = disfellowshipped and da'd = disassociated.
the new term has to be - inloojw = "_______ is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses" to be correct.. let's get on the band wagon kids.
not as crisp and easy i know.

My first year anniversary here.
by purplesofa inno birthday, wedding, first year at a job, first year of a relationship............none seem to bring so much introspective thought as my first year here.. i stumbled on this place looking for more jw's to hang out with online.
i had no idea what i was in for.
it did not take long to know that i was among my own kind.. deep thinkers come here to talk, discuss, argue, love, hate, heal, share, but mostly give.

Using new doctrine to enforce NEW Watchtower policy.
by hubert inthe watchtower uses bible verses to enforce their shunning policy so that the rank and file won't talk to ex-j.w.
's and therefore find out why they left the org.. also, they use verses to stop the rank and file from looking at "apostate" literature and research the watchtower policies.. my question.... what are some of the doctrine that could be used to enforce "new" watchtower policies?
policies that should be in place, but are not?.

I think they are more and more conditioning the r/f that scripture is not necessary. Just obey the FDmasterslave. -

Comments that made feel pity at last Sundays WT study
by drew sagan ini believe it was paragraph 17, the one that spoke about the faithful slave and how there are those who wish to be "independent" and that this is wrong.
two comments came, both from elders.
elder 1: so what the paragraph is telling us is that instead of developing an independent spirit we actually want to be developing a spirit of dependece upon god's organization and the spiritual food they provide.

Our WT conductor said with a very serious look--'When we read some direction in the WT, it is just the same as if it was in the letter sent to the cong after the Acts chapter 15 meeting.'

Did You Help Anyone To Get Baptized?
by minimus ini did.

A few. But the stupidest thing I ever did (in this regard) was risk getting fired by taking off work against orders to take some one to a C/A to get dunked.

Seahawks have difficulty explaining how they lost to Steelers
But several key penalties, mistakes pain them most
Monday, February 06, 2006
By Chuck Finder, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
They dropped a minimum of four passes, three by linebacker Joey Porter's favorite "soft" tight end, badly bearded Jerramy Stevens.
They gave up not only their longest running play of the season, but the longest offensive play, period, in Willie Parker's back-breaking, 75-yard touchdown run on the second half's second play from scrimmage.
They got as many interceptions thrown by quarterback Matt Hasselbeck -- one, at a time when Seattle was close to some kind of much-needed score amid a tenuous, 14-10 Steelers lead -- as he had thrown in his previous half-dozen games.
They missed back-to-back field-goal attempts of 50-plus yards by Josh Brown.
They misfired on five of their last six third-down conversion tries.
They converted just one of their three trips inside the Steelers' 20, and this from the NFL's leader in the territory known as the red zone.
We made a lot of mistakes," Tatupu offered meekly. "We kept hurting ourselves. That's stuff we can't have. The team that makes the fewest mistakes comes out on top."
....................starter and defensive soul Ken Hamlin was lost earlier in the year after a nightclub scrap hospitalized him with serious injuries

List of family/friends lost to the Watchtower cult? (suicides)
by hubert inafter reading about puternuts (ari) suicide, and also reading about sabine and js losing their daughter to this cult, i think it would be a fitting memorial, so to speak, to write a list of all the people we know who died because of this cult.
i also know that cruzanheart lost her dad to it, too.
i'm sure there are many here that can make a list of suicides brought on by the shunning/threatening policies of the watchtower cult.

I don't want to be too specific, but I know of one person who came home from a cir assembly and did it that night.
