Brief Announcement: I have disfellowshipped the Watctower Society
by bigmouth init is with little or no regret that i have found it necessary to disfellowship the watchtower bible and tract society in order to protect my good name.
after unrepentantly fornicating with the scarlet coloured wild beast for 10 years and having been exposed by a worldly organization, i have not been able to find any note of contrition or shame.plenty of time has been allowed for an apology but nothing has been forthcoming.indeed, minimising the sin indicates a haughty attitude.
i,for my part,will forever be ashamed of my association with wtbs.i apologise to bible students i've had and the fear i have displayed in saying nothing for 24 years.

ok i think i finally have made a decision
by Cordelia insoooooo any of you thats been following my threads thanks (and poor u) i have changed my mind so many times.
i have finally decided that i must stop trying to get reinstated, basically i got dfed 9 months ago had a boyfriend i felt i loved, was married tho still to my hubby who is only just starting to divorce me, (hes waited coz he keeps saying we could try again for the sake of our daughter but he would expect me to be completly in the 'truth') i hid the bf from my family coz they were so heartbroke and i decided to please them i would get reinstated and then fade, but as time went on i realised that wasnt an option as with a family like mine it would be so hard to do, plus there was the bf still hidden poor guy, anyway we spilt up several times, i was a complete physco i kept blaming him for everything,.
anyway last month i put my letter of reinstatement in and sat there scared stiff that they would reinstate me (as that would defo mean the end of the bf) they didnt reinstate me, and i blamed the bf and we spilt for good;.

ross you are right im alittle unsure of how to go about it tho, the nursery has asked her to be an angel in their play! i only have to take in a whiyte tshirt and she can do it, her dad says she can do nothing like that and i have to accept it as he is her dad and i have took so much away from him! im alittle confused,
tik, thats good they know its your stance, thats what ive tried, had a bit of a turning point today, went to my mums as she said she can see me since shes broke her leg! and today she just shouted at me and told me i must go to the meetings, and what has she done to have an apostate child she may as well be dead etc.. i totally stood my ground and told her what id already told my dad that i no longer veiwed jeh and the society the same so when i think of getting reinstated it would only be to talk to my family not to be coming back to jeh, and i really wanted to be with this lad, she said i may as well not bother then and then screamed at me that she thought my dad was seriously ill and hes having more tests tomorrow!
that really upset me, and my dad came home and was distressed we were fighting and took me outside and told me he loved me but could not feel like he was losing me all the time so he would not contact me again he would not ask if i was at meetings or what i was doing with my life, he said i will resent him if i come back for him not jeh and he wants me to feel happy! (i love him so much its easier to tell my mum as she just is nasty sometimes,)
He has been so nice about it, but what if he is dying?
i know i have the chance now to stick to what ive said (throw away the 9 months of trying to get reinststed) never go to the meetings my hubby will then divorce me i can be with the lad and see how it goes i can have my life without the witnesses!
but is it the right thing to do, ive come so far do you think i should stick by it? its so hard seeing my dad like this!

thanks everyone, diamondblue, i will look into those cases, i have no objection to her going to the meetings, but i would like her to join in activities at school and not feel left out, its a tricky one as my family and others will tell her what i let her do is wrong! I was planning on letting her make her own decision as she got older bur obviously i wouldnt really want her to be baptised and then shun me! (doesnt bear thinking about)
I would really like sole residency but he could see her every weekend as thats only fair, but do you need sole residency so that when it came to decisions about her school etc i could make them? what is the difference in sole and joint residency?
Ross thats a good thing to do, questioning things is whats driving me mad! and im glad things are better for you now,
I'm really hurt about my dad and took it out abit on the bf again (i must stop doing that!) he hasnt told my mum yet as i guess he must be holding out that ill change my mind, one good thing was ive shown him the wt b and tract society on the un website (as he said it was only on the apostate sites) and he was shocked and i read to him what an ngo is, and he is going to find out about it, i could do with getting some more imfo together as to what the societys answer is to this so i can deal with it,
At least he's listening alittle, and all i have to do now is stick with my decision and not go to the meetings again, and hope things get easier!!

Police caution woman for breastfeeding in public!
by nicolaou ini just watched the local bbc news and there was a story about a woman who'd fed her baby while sitting on a public bench.
she finished and was on her way when a police car drew up beside her and asked her to stop.
there had been a complaint.

this makes me mad i breastfed my daubghter for 13 months, (granted it was only because for the first tiemin my life my boobs were big!)
but the point is that if she needed feeding she needed feeding what if your out shopping (or in my case pioneering!!) all day. surely we couldnt of been expected to go home

Two weeks 'til DA day?
by AuldSoul inif you have been following anything about my situation (likely not), i have been baptised for 20 years.
my profile (as of today) says:i have committed no immorality.
i have only stopped believing that the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses represents the interests of god in any way.

auldsoul i care! you have been a massive help to me on my threads and i really appreciate that,
if theres anything i can do to help let me know, i thin k you have a wife do you? in that case it makes it extra hard i have lost my hubby coz i just cant go back anymore!
but stay strong you will feel better in yourself if you stand by what you think is right (god i wish i could take my own advice sometimes )

With the new Disfellowshipping procedure, How will the congo know who left?
by booker-t inwith the "new" way jw's are expelled from the congregations how would the congregation know who left on their own(disassociated) themselves or was disfellowshipped for "wrongdoing".
when i left the elders told me that they would tell the congregation that i "disassociated"my self and that would be that.
the whole congregation would know that i left on my own and was not expelled for immorality or wrongdoing.

me and sirona were talking about this the other day, when people are dfed everyone says 'i wonder what they did thats so bad' when people da themselves people may wonder why? there are questions that need answering!
the society dont want the dubs to know that there is anything wrong with their wonderful organization, there clever aren't they the sneaky beggers!

Did you hear about the congregation where.........
by enlightenedcynic ini am new to the board and am looking forward to many insightful discussions here.. a good friend of mine attends a congregation where sisters are working behind both the literature and magazine counters.
the brothers who were handling those responsibilities were removed because in the elder body's opinion, none of them were "exemplerary".police officer explained that save for the elders and a few of the ministerial servants, none of the men in the congregation were meeting the national average in field service time, so for the foreseeable future, "exemplerary".
the irony here though is that the same men who are unfit to handle the literature and magazine counters are qualified to offer opening and closing prayer for meetings and do reading for the watchtower study.

how can the society be so two faced?
do the dear sisters have their heads covered? i didnt think sisters could do much except be 'a large army'
on one occasion there were no brothers at the group and i was asked to read, but lated the elder got counselled for it!
it makes me mad!!
