a friend of mine who is disfellowshipped wonders whether it is wtbts policy to let him have the magazines still and frankly, i can't remember.
i told him that i believe it is their policy not to let him have the mags, but i'm not actually that sure.
any ideas you clever people?
you are not allowed to be a route call if df......unless you are mine...i would call with mags for ya...does he have fam or friends that can do it discreetly....
os else get them at the counter.....go make the cong ignore u.....dont wait till no one at counter-join a long queue..make the mag servant acknowledge you
i had to stop crying so i could write this and if you saw me you wouldn't think i would be the type to cry!
i am a 35 year old man from western australia....i should be tough....or so they say.
i have never posted anything before so excuse my fractured writing.
sad story man..and even sadder that its not the only one....hope you get all the help you need..there are plenty here that can empathize with you and console and offer suggestions.........so welcome

16. In addition to blood transfusion, name three other ways that a person could become bloodguilty before God. [uw pp. 155-6 pars. 3-6] By
eating blood, by murder, by belonging to an organization that is bloodguilty, by not witnessing, by causing a fatal accident. (Any three; substance sufficient)
was looking for something else and came across this.....its the aug 95 km written review.....is the un not bloodguilty...and did wts not belong to it up till fairly recently
today, i was talking to a close family member....he owns many stores of a business...he was telling me about a huge deal going down for him, in his favor.
he is an elder.
a lot of brothers work for him.
i was reading a newspaper one day whilst at my parents house for tea around the time when i was really low and on the letters page they have a thought for the day..and this day it said
psalms 55 :22..throw your burden on the lord and he himself will sustain you
the comment said words to the effect of....when you are at your lowest, pray to god and he will help...he may not take the problem away but he will help you to cope
i read this to my folks who were excited that i had taken on board something positive...and they replied yes thats what you must do..pray and j. will help you to cope
i said ..i have a question
the writer of the daily comment...how does he know????
first off, i've been lumbered with the dreaded sciatica.
what else...oh yeah, we've had the highly entertaining julie feuhrbacher staying with us for a few days.
boy that girl sure loves a pint or 4 of hobgoblin!
I can just see it now - "Number nine your time is up, number nine your time is up.
"er.... we only have 8 boats"
"number six is in distress.....number six is in distress"
i always thought that a person would be "reproved' once then disfellowshipped but i have heard of cases of jw's being reproved 3 and 4 times without being disfellowshipped.
i have been out for so long now i guess the rules have changed since i left in 1993. those elders did not show me any slack when they came to my house for a committee meeting to df me.
but i fooled them and da myself and told them off for three hours at the same time bringing up all of the wt skeletons in the process.
depends if it is for the same thing.......or what degree of responsibility and/or understanding and/or mental capacity and/or background and/or mitigating circumstances an individual has......
in theory
in reality depends if the jc want you destroyed at armageddon
i took this really interesting test on-line at tickle.com.
at the end it will give you your iq.
granted i could have done better if i wasn't distracted from watching my son, but i guess i did ok. i may take the test over again just to be sure that i was paying attention properly.

love11...thats an interesting point you made in jest...iq of stayers versus iq of leavers

some see virgin mary in underpass stain.
chicago, illinois (ap) -- a steady stream of the faithful and the curious, many carrying flowers and candles, have flocked to an expressway underpass for a view of a yellow and white stain on a concrete wall that some believe is an image of the virgin mary.. police have patrolled the emergency turnoff area under the kennedy expressway since monday as hundreds of people have walked down to see the image and the growing memorial of flowers and candles that surround it.
i dont get it...it seems very obvious to me to be a pic of mary...hey someone even went to the bother of having it framed
today, i was talking to a close family member....he owns many stores of a business...he was telling me about a huge deal going down for him, in his favor.

NOOOOOOOOO
i was thinking about this for some reason this morning.
it seems that elders or elders' family are able to get away with quite a bit, while those who aren't are hung.
so how is that any different then things in the ot?.
i was elder with 6 other elders in family albeit in different congs.....they hung me
