I remember a special needs part on kids playing in the bathroom. I was thinking, "maybe if we had a nursury and didn't make kids sit through this, they wouldn't be plalying in the bathroom."

What do you do.......
by Heather inwhen your jw family member tells you it would have been so much better if you had just faded instead of daing yourself.
that to them daing yourself is much worse then dfing yourself.
if only you had hung in there and faded they would treat you as family but now it tears at them that they can't talk to you.

I would say that it doesn't matter what the elders did to you -- DA, DF, or reproof.. fade. ... Ask her "Isn't it what Jehovah thinks that matters anyway? No matter what my standing in the congregation is, my heart is what matters. So you should do what you think is right regardless of what the elders' decision was. Honesty is also important too in this situation."
I DAed and it was the best decision I ever made. I could be honest to them all about where I stand.

2007 International Apostate Tour
by lawrence inlet's show up at a few assemblies (close proximity) and have a p-a-r-t-y!
screw the debates over words; when we spoke to the boe, cos, dos, and bethel we were dealing with murderers, pedophiles, and protectors of mean men and women, called brothers and sisters.
now it's our time to have some fun within "the courtyard of the gentiles.
