I got disfellowshiped cuz the deaf group in el paso couldn't keep their "eyes on the prize" when they were walking in to Wal-Mart and saw my pictures as a run away on the wall. Oh thats besides the point. I'm fluent in ASL/ESL/English and speak a little Spanish. Cheers, B

Really serious question!
by 5thGeneration indrifting away is one thing.
i'm curious if anyone has written a letter (not a disassociation letter) that simply told their friends and loved ones that you don't really believe a lot of it anymore and blah, blah, blah.. or is it better to shut up and just never show up again.. problem is my wife says if i want to leave that i have to fess up and tell people.
ouch!.

All you'll be doing is killing trees on deaf ears. Send emails, its easier, quicker and better for the enviroment. LOL And as far as things with the Ms? Why not just lie, your not a Witness anymore, its ok now :_)

Whats up with Witnesses being allowed to VOTE now?
by runningrussianboy ini read somewhere that jw's can vote now?
it was in a kingdom ministry a few years back.
i remember being told that voting for anything but jehovah was a sin.

I read somewhere that JW's can vote now? It was in a kingdom ministry a few years back. I remember being told that voting for anything but Jehovah was a sin. Brothers have gone to jail and been beaten in some countries for not voting. But now they can? JW's and that ever growing light of convenience

Who's to say Jesus has "approved" the FDS and "appointed them..."
by Theocrat in"...over his belongings" ???.
i think the entire system of witness beliefs hinge on this issue: is the governing body the mouthpiece that jehovah is using to lead faithful ones on earth?.
it seems jw's just assume that jesus did inspect them and did appoint them over his belongings.

Proof? Its the GB in the house! They don't need no proof, our word in print is all the proof you need, MF! Everything the Governing Body or any UPPER level Bethalite says always reminded me of a magnet on my mom's refrigerator growing up. It read... Rules of the House Rule #1 Mom is Always Right Rule #2 If Mom is wrong please refer to rule #1 ---And thats all I have to say

Bloody Heck! I post one night go to work cause a storm of poop! Sorry. 1) My bad, guess I've been out long enough and been in the banking business that I didn't figure that qualified for the catagory that was prohibited. Since it is, I first appologize and second will ensure that future posts do not have any reason for edit. 2) On a sidenote, the first person who edited my post could have been just a tad more polite in my opinion to just correct my error and write it off to the first post. But hey I understand you ex-elder types, ha ha just kidding. No worries, like I said, my error. 3) I do plan to stick around, if for no other reason I really want to have it say Jedi Master on all my posts. By the way whats up with Star Wars being acceptable to watch as a JW and Sleeping Bueaty wasn't? Guns in space ok, A little majic potion and were missing the bus to the heavenly earth? Crazy! 4) Who is richie rich? If you are richie rich, why do people think I should get to know you? Not that I don't want too, just looking for some motivation. 5) I've been officially out since I was 15. I realized it was all a mess at 16. Haven't been back since. Yes its nice, but the lack of any family what so ever is still a little downer. 6) Anybody in or around Austin? Always looking for fun new people to go out and have fun with. 7) Ok well I'm off to find something fun, new and non-[edit]able. Cheers, RRB

Ok guys, this is post 2.
Here we go. Background.
Raised a JW. Homeschool by grade 6. 60+ hours by 13. Baptised by 14. Regular Pioneer by 14 and a half. Odds at 14 and a half were 35.6 to 1 on Ministerial Servant and Bethal before 20. THEN...
I told my Dad an Elder that I thought the way he spoke and treated my was abusive. He told me that he was going to ruin my life and put me back in regular school and make me suffer. See at the time, in retrospect, being a regular pioneer was less about service to god and more about being away from home. So I ran away. I was gone nearly 6 months before I was found.
For the record, when I ran away I attented all meetings via telephone in the city I had ran away too. I ran away with a backpack of clothes and my bookbag. Oh and to top it off I used a mail forwarding service (so as not to get caught) to turn in my time slips every month.
So anyways, I get caught. How? I was in El Paso. Working with the sign language group there. Some over zealous sister saw my picture in the local walmart. Called my happy ass in and I got busted at work. So much for helping the deaf group. So I get caught, parents drive out to El Paso, take me home and they volunteer to let me live wherever I want as long as its in Austin. I take them up on that. Only stipulation is that I continue to attend meetings. No worries, been doing that the entire time I'm gone. Then first meeting back, I'm in the back room.
At this point I'm thinking I'm going to get a welcome back, don't do that again, but were glad you never left Jehovah speal. NOPE, I get the elder squad and a judical commitee. Disfellowshiped less then 2 days after being back.
I kept to meetings for a while but never quite was the same. I felt betrayed, here I had at 15, ran away, kept the "truth" and I get officially df'd for "not honoring my father and my mother?" What kind of bullshit lame duck excuse is that?!!!
Footnote Reads : As a side point, the elder in charge of my case was disfellowshiped two years later. He was caught having an affair with another married sister. It had been going on for over 5 years. He was caught in the affair, assaulted his wife and two sons and spent 6 months in jail. But he was the guy god picked to df me! Crock of shiT!
But that was the back story. My mom died in 04. In true JW fashion Dad remaried in 05, nearly a year past her death to the day. Is it just me or do Jw's have the shortest grief periods around. Maybe they figure that they'll see their ex-loved one in the resurection and then they can introduce them to the replacement. Oh and if the resurection is to be so damn happy, then what, resurectees have no emotions as they see the husband who "in the blink of an eye" was their lifelong mate is now boning sister pioneer on that bench under the tree. But I digress, that is a topic of a different post.
So he gets married and we have not spoke since. We didn't talk much to begin with but now I am 100% cut off. I talked to my grandmother today. She is a Witness. But she finds it in her heart to talk to me somewhat. I asked her about him, she told me he was good. She gave me his work and cell phone numbers and then said, don't call the house. Gail(new wife) doesn't like that. She doesn't want to hear your messages.
I'm like what a [edit]! I frankly am happy my dad found someone else. He needed someone to take care of him. But what a bitch to be like that? So really I get it but I don't .
WHAT IS UP WITH THESE "we'll be nice and friendly to the worldly people wherever we shall meet them" and then to be "oh and your son...TELL HIM TO NEVER CALL HERE"
Can someone explain the thinking?
