It was the longest and most boring letter I have ever heard
Im sure this was done intentionally.
here is an actual jw response, from another board, about the new blood letter.
notice the brainwashing.the service meeting was very informative and clearly helped spell out the duties of our dear elders in helping us during a trying time.
it also made things very clear to each one of us regarding our individual responsibility when it comes to making our own choices on the blood issue.

i'll try to figure out what i'm good at......... i think i'll need some help here..
Im an excellent beer drinker!
hello everyone, i've been lurking for quite a while now and am enjoying my time on this forum.
i wasn't born or raised a jw, but married into it....sorta.
my husband was raised a jw, never baptized, and became inactive once married.
right now I only own the NLT because a co-worker bought me one. but so far it seems pretty good. I would have to say, much better than the NWT. At least I know who translated it.
cool avatar cyd! I like it.

post whatever happened to "pop into your head" when you decided to open this thread.. j.
*i wonder if there are any more pepsi's in the fridge?

ok if these ladies didn't show there shoulders and had book bags couldn't they be jehovahs witnesses getting ready to go out door to door?
Well said!
if you haven't already, please read the thread richie's elders: deaf?
dumb?
if you haven't read it, you won't get the following.. so last wednsday night, after the fine spiritual feast prepared by the governing body and delivered by their "spirit appointed" waiters, i was approached by an one of the brothers who served on my judicial committee.
Interesting post as ussual RR.
Who am I stumbling?
Your not stumbling any one. Your educating and enlightening them. This inteferes with the elders ability to improve their numbers. This is why you received the informal councel.
okay i found the official website for jw's and there was a place you could sign up for a free book study, so i did.
now i'm not sure if they will actually contact me once they see its me.
i'm doing this because when i da'd my mom wrote the letter and i didn't care/know about all their lies, i really hate that i wasted 8 years in this cult and want the elders in the congregation to explain big time!
Perhaps if you used your screen name. The WBTS has no record of my current address. I wonder if I sent in a request using the name of Darth Yhwh if they would respond or not. LOL
i personally am hated quite a bit.
i've concluded it was because i rejected them personally.
i quit associating with them because i realized they were hateful individuals with serious mean streaks and other personality problems.
If your disfellowshipped then the GB has mandated that you be shunned. This is to be adhered to as if the command was uttered from the lips of almighty God. Pretty serious stuff.
If you have faded then there has never been a formal announcement, therefore, one can still associate without the fear of angering God.
i'm just freeforming here, i might change my mind by the end of my rant.
a man's home is his castle i figure, and a woman her nest.
guests can't poopy all over the place without consequences.
You're right, your home is your most personal space and should be respected. If someone is rude or disrespectful to you or you property you have every right to avoid them at all costs.
I am the type of person, and I think that my wife would testify to this, that wouldnt hesitate to throw some one out of my home or off my property (physically if necessary).
