first excuse my spelling throughout this piece.this issue has a lot of back history that is needed to understand it, so please bear with the long summary.. i am currently still a jehovah witness, on paper; i have not attended a meeting for over 6 months.
i was reproved about 7 months ago.
because i questioned their actions, and i had influence over others.
Welcome ann in Texas (and faince!). Firstly, the way you and your fiance have been treated is disgraceful. What was the REASON for him being disfellowshipped? As magoo said, they haven't taken this decision by their OWN rules (2 witness, admission /proof of guilt etc). So he has been falsely accused, and I dare say his reputation harmed by their decision.
Has the Society being informed?

an american and ex witness.............share..........
Shame on all of you - not one poster mentioned Carey Barber's Birthday, lol (101?)
a few weeks ago i was looking through some of my wife's kingdom ministries and i noticed a very interesting stat.it appears that every year here in canada the number of active jw's takes a noticeable jump upwards in the month of august (the end of the service year) and then re-settles to a more regular number again in september.. after noticing this i went and looked in the older km's and checked a few more years with the same results.i don't know if this happens in every country but it seems to be happening here in canada.i found this strange since i remember august as being the month everybody slacked off because they "had their hours".also i know some students pioneer in the summer but they still would have been publishers before august.. here are the canadian stats for the years i found:.
july august september.
can anyone explain this logically or is this another one of their smoke and mirrors tricks?
Men are always prone to exaggeration...
many on here say they are being shunned by their family members.in some case this is probably true.
but seriously..could it be that they have a life and they may not have time for you anyway?
or finds you not too much fun to be around?.
Thanks for post Snoozy -innocenttly, don't know what MY standing is - love to know (after strange Elder call)- and why haven't I been told/informed
i talked to him on the phone.
i said that i wanted an apology for him molesting me and my brother by sunday or i was going to take it to court on monday.
he denied what he did to us, but he acknowledged yes on all the identifying questions.

Gosh Country Girl - you mean you'd be content with just an apology after spending so long trying to find him?
Will your brother be pressing charges too? Think how many others there could be. Can he deny several accusations?
I have to agree with other posters - don't contact him again. I sincerely hope you get the result you want.
i just found out today that i'm in menopause.
i haven't had a menstrual cycle in over a year.
here's my dilemma?
Well - I'm not in your position, but......
From what you have said, I don't think you'd be happy on HRT anyway. I suppose the symptoms of menopause can vary considerably between women, but the way I look at it (and I know it's easy for me to SAY), this is a 'natural' stage in a woman's life, and her own body adjusts in its own time, naturally.
I hope things improve for you soon :)
she hasn't bothered with the jws for about 10 years, now she's having bible studies with them again.
i'm caught now between wanting her to see what a big crock of shit it is and thinking what right do i have to attack someone's beliefs if it makes them happy?
she hated the control and hypocrisy she saw there before, didn't know anything about the un or 607 info, i showed her some sites the other day and it peaked her interest.
Oh serotonin, I feel your pain - PM me if you want.
i have noticed a few times that not all countries celebrate their holidays on the same day as canada or the us.
canadians have a better knowledge of the american holidays because we tend to watch many american tv shows.. some holidays are the same where ever you live.
but a lot are different, like mother's day.. so for the benefit of all what are the holidays your country or state/province celebrates?.
Well, not a 'Holiday', but I LOVE Bonfire/Guy Fawkes Night (5th November)
since i have a rather morbid sense of humor, and none of us is going to see armageddon................................ what would you like to be written on your tombstone?
i'll start.. "buried face down...........and you know the rest".
"his last word were..............boy, i'm getting hot!".
''I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL''
i've been reading you all for a couple years now, it's about time i post.. the first thing i would like to say is....thank you.
without this forum, who knows what my life would be like.
you all have been such a big help to me since i left the witnesses about 4 years ago, and i'm very grateful to you all!.
Welcome gymbob and In Between
