can someone please tell me exactly what constitutes a df'ing offence?.
i recently read a post where someone said that they were df'd for committing "adultery in the heart", someone else for gambling, someone else for smoking etc etc.
it's all very puzzling, back in the 60's the wtbts had a down on "petting and necking" but it wasn't df'able.
Is there a sort of Redneck JW elder class in Texas that wouldn't even qualify for baptism elsewhere?
Yeah, buddy.

I talked to Believer; he's in. We're on for Pappasito's! Prepare yourself for some of the finest Tex-Mex food on the continent! (not to mention pretty darn good company, too)

when i moved my family after leaving the jehoagies schmitnesses, i changed my phone number, and made sure it was unlisted.
little did i know that i would soon be receiving a call out of the blue from a jw.. now, this was a woman that i had worked with at one time and we were pretty good friends, so a few years later, when she called, i was kind of glad to hear from her.
the problem was, how did she get my phone number.
Kick her scumbag ass! Sue her, sue the elders, sue the kingdom hall! Get a lawyer and then tell the press about it. Harass her! Call her at work every five minutes! Arrrrrgh! Vengeance! Vengeance shall be yoooooouuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrsssssssss!!!
(wheeze, gasp)
Okay, I feel better now. Needed to get that out.
My suggestion: get a new unlisted number and write this episode off as one of those things you accept because you can't change it.

hello, step.
as the original thread has taken on a life of its own, i'm moving our discussion to a separate one.. so you first accuse me of being someone i am not.
note that there is no question mark after your statement.. comf: "you're 'friend', aren't you.".
I have heard from Step by email, a long letter discussing things that would give away his identity to the wrong people if they read those things on here. He says that he will write again to continue his response to my initial post above. When he's finished, if he doesn't post anything here then I'll ask if he minds if I do, culling the obviously personal details.
I haven't yet formed an opinion of what he says. It's thought-provoking stuff; I'm waiting until I have more.

hi everyone its me 'uni girl' since my wonderful expulsion from the rancid org, i have wondered what exactly is .
'adultery in the heart' and what constitutes proof of this.
it is the reason stated on my file for my ruin ha ha.
On H2O one time the lovable forum clown, You Know, went into a rant about not looking at a member of the opposite sex with "impure thoughts." So I posted a response in which I said, picture You Know meeting and courting some young lovely. Matters progress to marriage, and now they are together on their wedding night. As they prepare for bed, the bride wearing panties and a sheer nightgown as is her habit, she happens to bend over, scalding the virtuous You Know's virgin eyes with some serious butt. Our hero now responds impetuously, "Wow! Say, honey, I just now had a heck of a good idea!"

I have received an email from Step. He explains that he is quite busy right now with secular matters, and intends to respond to this post when there is time for it.
I know how that goes. I seldom have time for answering posts, myself. I wanted to let the board know, for the sake of his reputation, that apparently Step is not ignoring the post after all.

Ah, I see. The pictures aren't lining up correctly. It's there, just not over the correct year.

Something is wrong here. There was no district assembly in 1978. There was an international convention. I attended it at the Astrodome in Houston. It was the first year we had canned music instead of a live orchestra, and I was devastated because I had gotten to play with the orchestra for the first (and only) time at the 1977 district assembly.

<i>i promised magdaleen that i would post this for her.. plus it has come to my attention that gopher aspires to becoming a satirist and being the loving, caring soul that i am, i always try to help the young.
he is welcome to try to keep up, but my personal bet is that about 2/3 of the way through he will scream in terror and jump out the window.. this letter was actually sent toward the end of june, 1996. yes, it took about 6 months to write it, as i was working 70 to 80 hours a week as a long haul truck driver.
it was written primarily to my daughters (and our former) congregation in alaska, with copies going to the parties named at the end of the letter.. all the names have been changed or blanked out except for p. g. ronco, the branch overseer, whom i know personally.

I read that paragraph to Nickie. She had a good laugh and said, "My daddy uses that word all the time. 'Hooey.'"
