They also sadi,In reference to having to deal with a DF'd family member,"Jehovah knows how you feel".Um,no,he does not.I dont remember Jesus getting df'd for anything.Did I miss something? I wonder if any newcomers were listening and ran screaming? Blondie,thanks so much for doing this.Ill be having to go to the Sunday meetings for a coupla weeks w/my Mum,till I can hook her up,which is hard cause none of the "brethren" will talk to me.Ill be interested to see your take,Thanks!

Well done! I did notice the topic of "wine' lasted way too long.They said it was a natural substance and Jesus was a winedrinker.Hey,um,weed is a natural substance too,and dosent require fermentization{sp?}and aging,so it should be extra fine stuuf,right?..The point about the "Twilight"series was just stu[id,and hastening the DF'D person to rejoin be not having his own family associate w/him?Yawn....

Today's WT Study Stupidity About Df'ing
by metatron inin today's watchtower study, towards the end, you had one of those typical comments by a former df'ed witness expressing appreciation for being shunned.
these comments always remind me of a stalinist show trial in which the accused enthusiastically accepts being executed for the greater good (probably to save his family).. after this kind of nonsense is expressed, you will get a flurry of self righteous comments emphasizing how important it is to shun your disfellowshipped relatives, so that they can come back in the "truth".. oh, really?
do any of these people raising their hand realize that, if the "success" of disfellowshipping depends on your shunning, then the "repentant" person is "coming back in the truth" for the sake of their relatives -and not because of fearing jehovah !!!???.

I like an interesting choice of an avatar and name,and someone who has their own perspective on things.Someone who seems to always be kind and wise,like Mr Flipper!!!! he was one of the first posters that I started following because I could always count on some interesting info,and he was KIND....I like the weirdos too.We all make a fabulous crowd,dont we?

December 15th WT gives example of sister who quit her job so she could go to an convention.
by life is to short ini was beyond mad when i heard this.
it is on page 30 of the wt.. it says "a pioneer named roxana is one who has seen how jehovah provides for his people.
when she asked her employer for permission to take some days off to attend one of our conventions, he angrily retorted that if she went, he would fire her.

Reminds me of all of the "househgolder as about to commit suicide or homicide,but the dub stopped him" stories that were wafting around when I was a kid.I never believed them,even when I still believed in "Gilligans Island".
