FAQ - from the official web site "Do You Shun Former Members of Your Religion"?

by therevealer in

those who were baptized as jehovah's witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.

in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest..

This is such a BS answer and totally ignores those who are disfellowshipped. Assholes.

as we entered a door of the administration building we did not head to the elevator to take us up the eight floors to the main administration floor.

i looked around the room and asked, "what's up with her?

i was going to work with the elder from hell who ran the photography department.

Weird. I can't find part 3 either, and Randy's site has the whole story but he just re-did his whole site. It's archived there but I don't think the links are working , Randy wanna lend a hand?

.....after 8 years of us being disfellowshipped.

the made contact through my aunt who is still 'in' - as in she has faded but is not disfellowshipped and will pop to a meeting now and again - she does this for my grans' sake.. the contact was from my aunt and uncle (he's an elder) these were the 2 witnesses used against me in my judicial case.

they contacted my aunt and said to forward the message onto us.

When I read the topic, I was hoping it would be positive. Should have known better. Sorry about that LB.

"New light" and BLOOD ...

by EdenOne in

i just had a flash in my head.. in the wt 07/2013, the "new light" is basically saying that there was no appointment of a faithful and discrete slave in the christian era until 1919. if this is true, then no "spiritual food at the proper time" was served after jesus' resurrection, for over 1886 years.

that means that the decree of the "apostles and older men" in jerusalem, recorded in acts 15:24-29, isn't "food at the proper time", and shouldn't be mandatory for christians.

this includes the order to "abstain from blood".

Idk, doesn't that run the risk on contradicting "scripture"?

I wanted to punch this elder so bad!

by OneDayillBeFree in

so i decided to attend the meeting last.

since i haven't gone in about 2 weeks, and i leave as soon as it ends, and elder decided to corner me at the end.

lately i've been through some very depressing family issues that are non-jw related so i haven't been my best at acting like i care about the org.

SAD talk, a CLEAN consceince VS a CLEAR conscience. Such dubspeak

by Wasanelder Once in

i was informed by a witness that there was a "wonderful talk" at the sad this week.

it was about a clear conscience as opposed to a clean conscience.

a clear conscience is no proof of god's approval because one my not feel condemned by thier actions due to a faulty perspective.

My conscience says up yours WT LOL

i usually shop for most things at wal mart but i have learned some things at publix and kroger are cheaper than wal mart.

if you are conscious shopper, tell me what things do you buy at each store to save some money!

i am thinking about being a member of bj, if you know of any good deals at bj, let me know too.

baltar447

I get some items at Walmart though. But most grocery items I get at H-E-B.
