so as you all know, i have fully faded...i'm completely out and have not told the elders or da myself...just faded 100%.... so i run into an active jw, different congregation, and as i walk past him i say, "hey so and so, how are you doing?
"....he looks down, doesnt dare look at me in the eyeball and keeps walking...then a split second later he turns around and says, hey man, aren't yuo disfellowshipped?....
i was like wtf?...lol, i said "not that i know of"...i asked him who told him such thing?...he wouldnt tell me who, but he had "heard"...so i just left it at that and told him if he wants to know then to contact my ex-elders.... my thing is, could the elders have df'ed me without me knowing it?...i have not been accused of their so called "apostasy", nor have i received a letter requesting info or to set up a meeting, nor a call...the coordinating elder (formally president/presiding overseer) still texts me all the time saying hi etc...no religious texts or anything like that).
There is no such thing as '100% fully faded.'
You may not have family and some friends bugging you but word gets around and in most JWs eyes (and thanks to a WT from last yr cant remember which) they view and treat those who do not REGULARLY ATTEND MEETINGS as DFd!
Its not something thats spelled out but its something properly conditioned Dubs know. Just like they KNOW not to attend a funneral in a church even tho its spose to be a personal decision.
that is a question.
it is asked by somebody who does exist.. that question could not be asked if there actually were nothing.. .
that is a question asked only by people who exist.. if there were nothing-- the question would not be asked because it could not be asked.. .
popes have stepped down before but it's rare........the last one was pope gregory in 1415.. benedict cites poor health....perhaps so.
http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/pope-benedict-stepping-down-shocking-abdication.
"citing age and infirmity as his reason for leaving the papacy, benedict's action comes................... less than a month after the decades-old child abuse scandal drew nearer to the pope's door, with revelations published in the los angeles times earlier this month that cardinal roger mahony, then archbishop of los angeles, sought to evade the law in cases involving the sexual abuse of children by the priests in his charge by sending them to treatment facilities in states that did not require health professionals to report the crimes to authorities.. at the time that mahony was covering up the crimes of his priests, benedict, then known as cardinal joseph ratzinger, led the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, the vatican office that oversaw such matters.
He's retireing to devote more time to prayer and study of the scripture yeash!
Metatron:
You'll remember the next 2 years for the rest of your life. More and more weird things will happen. Dec. 21, 2012 wasn't an end, it was simply a beginning.
Expect a tidal wave of exposure of horrible, corrupt and crazy stuff all over the world. Expect economic and political upheaval as the Powers That Be lose control and fight desperately to hold on.

I agree!
IMO what is going on is a MAJOR conscous change/shift in the world. The old industrious age is dying fast and the next generation is taking over. The old ways have NO hope of surviving in the 21st century.
if it has not already been asked any predictions for the game tomorrow?.
ravens 28 .
49ers 27. .

Work on getting yourself out and free FIRST!
Than try and get your friend to see the TATT.
Please first and foremost get out while your young and got your WHOLE LIFE ahead of you!
help, i am looking for any and all wts quotes on doctors being used by satan when recommending blood.. .
so in the congregation you had those wine and bread loving annointed people?
but i ask, why did the men that were annointed not immediately appointed as an elder, and then a circuit overseer and so on up the ranks.
it would seem to me, that if god saw them fit to rule in heaven.
Loz-tiktaalik is right.
Most of the annointed I knew were um a lil off IMO. My uncle partakes and I still dont think he is an elder (and the borg is scrapping the bottom of the barrel these days.)
great time of year for us football fans !

Rooting for the Ray-vens since NE couldn't make it.
the phone rang in the art gallery and i answered.. the voice was a young woman's.. one of her two parrots had died rather suddenly.. she wanted a colorful frame for the memorial portrait.
could we accomodate her?.
the remaining bird was sulking.. i suggested parrots without partners.. i don't where my tasteless jokes come from.
The 1st. I was 13 she was 12. I wasn't expecting tongue, she gave me tongue.
