R U disfellowshipped 2
by DFshipped in
1. jw
2. experiences
hi people.

i am a df'd person hoping to return to the fold.

i am not critical of the decision to df me nor of the loving organization i believe to be in the palm of jesus hand.. i would find it most encouraging to hear from others who feel the same and would like to "hold hands" on the way back.. this board is hailed as a supportive respectful place so if you do not fit this description may i ask you to move on and not hinder the participants here in following their god given right to pursue their goal.

2. friends
hi, dfs.. first of all, let me say it is not necessary to label yourself on this board, or anywhere on the internet for that matter.. so many of us have family members that are df'd, it really doesn't hold much water round here.

i did have some questions for you though, which of course you don't have to answer.. 1. why were you disfellowshipped?

(pls.

Any suggestions?

after reading the posts in parenting re: spanking and the wol thread, it made me ask: is there anything we can do as an individual or group to stop the abuses of the wtbs?.

i know i personally take any watchtower or awake articles i see placed in places (laudromats, hospitals, etc.

) and discard them.

Advantages of being a JW
by ISP in
1. jw
2. friends
clearly there is a great deal of anti-jw sentiment here and elsewhere for that matter.

such feelings are generally directed at those at the heart of the organisation and there are no such feelings for the rank and file who are often very genuine people.. in actual fact there are some advantages in being a fully loaded jw and to be fair it would be interesting to note them down.

they can be factual or whimsical or both.

Can You Believe THIS?

from the jw-media site http://www.jw-media.org.

::::do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?.

many millions who have lived in centuries past and who were not jehovah's witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life.

Is it Biblical to Shun??
by charlie in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm not a witness, but i know one very well and we have had many discussions on various topics.

we would both like to know, however, if it is biblical to shun the disfellowshipped/disassociated?

where in the bible does the society base the practice of shunning or groveling back for a long period of time if a person is sorry and wants to return to the church?
