it is funny but i love that old expression "karma is the best payback".

i happened to see one of those super arognant elders that was the judicial committee that put me on "private reproof" years ago when i was a "devout" jw and fell into unscriptual conduct.

they literally had me trembling back there in the back of the kh wondering if i was going to be disfellowshipped or put on public reproof.

You've rented a billboard in front of a KH. What would you put on it?

if you could rent a bill board where you knew jehovah's witnesses would see it, what would you put on it to try to effectively reach them?

and don't forget that lots of other people would see it to.

maybe the regular joe would be able to develope some good questions from your ad too.

Told to shun DF ones in august 2002 KM
by purplesofa in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in the vidoe of the elder that went on how the word "shun" had a bad stereotype and said that jw's don't use that word............it baffled me that so many of us have heard that word used in regards to disfellowshipping and this man that had been a po for 30 years denied it.. in the august 2002 km there is an article.

display christian loyalty when a relative is disfellowshipped.

in all fairness i would like to post the whole article but can't type it all out right now........but will when it is not so late....... on page 4 par 12 it reads.......... benefits of being loyal to jehovah: .

as a non jw (thank god) my journey of insight into the abyss of deceit, darkness, and mind control known as the watch tower is oh so short.

maybe 6 weeks at best.

my quest to gain the knowledge to help my df'd young friend dee see the truth is at worse, well... overwhelming.
