  With the new Disfellowshipping procedure, How will the congo know who left?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  with 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.

  that only someone haughty and that had rejected Jehovah would do.

  Oh! Gag me! There is another one of those JW buzzwords! Akin to "suchlike ones"

  hmm...It was multiple compliments from the same person/s. What's more, it was live on the local radio station!
  
  they said something along the lines of my determination and spirit of giving is a wonderful asset to the community as a whole.
  
  I raised about $3,000 for my company's annual turkey drive benefiting various local charities. Equivalent to 400 turkeys!! In addition, I was able to solicit over one thousand LBS of non-perishable foodstuffs for the local food bank.
  
  Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

  When elders disagree....

  here's the situation.... my da has been finally announced last thursday.

  now, the thing is, my father asked the elders if it was still okay for him to talk to me.. elder1 says :no, she is daed, is not living with her family anymore, you can't talk or associate with her in any way.

  (that elder has been shunning his daughter for a few years now.).

  Yes, so sad that he feels he can't decide for himself but I think it reflects that he has a desire to associate with you.

  So many have been no questions asked cold-hearted shunned by family in and out of the "circle." Happy for you that he shows he still wants you in his life. We are all hoping he follows his heart and not the herd!

  Born ins...how far did you go?

  how far from where you grew up do you live now?

  did you leave to get away or to take ownership of your life and create a new destiny?

  did you leave before or after you figured it out?.

  I think I got to like 3rd base with Jehoobert.
  Left when I was 17 moved 185 miles away, moved back @ age 20. By 22, I decided life was better 185 miles away. Close enough to visit the family, far enough away that they are not all up in our business and I have XJW anonymity here.
  
  Works out pretty well I think.

  2. friends

  as you all may know, the elders around america have had (or will have) their annual meetings.

  you know, the ones where they are trained and brought up to date about the whole scheme of things.. anyway, an elder who i happen to be close to was telling me yesterday that some troubling/disturbing things has been going down in congregations worldwide.

  he also mentioned that it will be mentioned in watchtowers and km's in the next few months.. anyone know what he may be talking about?

  They did not come to me like you brother did with you....

  Technically, I came to him first but that is here nor there. I am just glad to have him back. Here is what my original comment about death in a divided family was going to be, before getting distracted by the shun in return issue.

  What I failed to mention that I was allowed to go to the service for my Dad when he died but my mother and brother (was still dub at the time) flat out told me I was not welcome to go and spread my dad's ashes where he wanted them.

  I was by his side day and night during his last few months, helplessly watching him fade away from me. He died in my arms. I cradled his head as he took his last breath but I was not good or worthy enough to be present and help carry out his last wishes. I am so angry about that 3 years later but It's just too deep a wound to even talk to my My mom about. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to go cry alot again over the same crap!

  We love you Ladylee, many of us feel your pain and offer you our collective strength.
