Congratulations - I am a 'Do NOT Call'.
They walk along the road and stop at the bottom of my drive in - consult a bit of paper and walk on! It is so peaceful being dis-fellowshipped.

12I have become a return visit!
by pajaha injust for background, i da'd 12 years ago and i'm now an atheist/agnostic.. i normally avoid answering to the jws (i can usually tell it's them because i hear two sets of incredibly moving footsteps coming up the stairs to my flat) or they do a quick "magazine presentation" and then they're off.
on one occasion a few weeks ago i answered and the guy seemed up for a discussion.
i said i was an atheist, a lengthy discussion ensued and he "placed" a creation /evolution leaflet with me.. i was expecting a call and, after avoiding them a few times, i finally answered.

Question Regarding Blood Centrifuge
by turtleturtle in"furthermore, blood does not settle into four primary components.
this only occurs after being put through a centrifuge with additives.
from: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/blood-transfusions.php.

Probably - heparin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and sodium citrate - as these are added to blood after being extracted from a person and before testing.

Here is their policy on child abuse from JW-media.org

That policy has been on the JW website since 2003; following on from the UK Panorama TV program.
When I pointed it out to our local Elders in 2005 they insisted it was out of date in 2004 and should have been removed from the website.
I wrote to the British branch office and they insisted it was correct and applicable in 2009.
Who can you believe? OR are they all liars?
I believe that policy is purely for the public to see and IS NOT the policy used by Elders when a situation arises.

Reinstatement in the kingdom hall means that you'll still be shunned by all for a long time = decades!
by witchtowerwitch indon't count on too much mercy my fine featherd friends,,,hehehe,,,lol...!after your reinstated,it will take 20 to 30 years before the dubs start to forget your sorted past.....and you all know this right?so why bother crawling back with you little tail between your legs,so a bunch of glorious elders can save face before the rank and file?no one should be df okay,as this was not the teachings of jesus,only paul who wrote this stuff,but could some wacko in the last 2000 years have inserted this satanic practice into the scriptures to control the masses and manipulate them?the apostle paul wrote too many contradictions in his writings,so why trust in anything that he wrote about?why trust the gb in hq/nyc as to their writings in these past 130 years,since everything that they wrote about is all lies,,,hehehe lol...!who is going to disfellowship them in the hq department for being liars?maybe jehovah will do it in his own due time?.

Which is why I shall NEVER return to a Kingdom hall again.
I am free, nobody from the KH talks to me and I don't miss any of them.
I enjoy having been disfellowshipped for the last 4 months, it is like an enormous weight taken from my shoulders.

Stupid Qoutes From Traveling Overseers! COs, DOs At Work!.
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inwhen your circuit or district overseer spoke the above statement "turn around and behold your loyal brothers and sisters, they are your real family!
some of the most outgoing elders in the kingdom halls are still lonely, sisters who put the needs of others are burned out and depressed.
so how come they don't feel the way circuit o does?

A CO recently told me:
"Elders and Ministerial Servants are 'Spirit appointed men' and would never lie!"

Regarding UK mandatory reporting of child abuse

I do not understand why this is headed '...UK mandatory reporting...' when it has nothing to do with the UK!
It is only to do with The Irish Republic as Alan Shatter is the Minister of Justice in Dublin.
