  disfellowshipping

  by ex-chum in

  typically is there a limit to the number of disfellowships a person can receive before they're "out"?

  i'm specifically referring to my ex, who has a marriage/relationship that results in a babyx2.

  she just mentioned that it was harder to get back into good graces this last time.

  I'm not sure if there's a limit, but one guest speaker mentioned he was glad to be "allowed to return to fellowship in God's organization for the third time." I was like:

  Weird Prayer at Last Year's DC - GB Worship

  by LostGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the last dc i will ever attend in 09' some elder was called up to do the morning prayer.

  i dont recall him being introduced as a co or anything thats why i say elder.. he starts off slowly and 20 seconds in i realize this is his moment of glory, giving a prayer at the dc and he is going to take his sweet time.

  i know the closing prayers are like at least 5 or 10 minutes, but this guy is going to kick off the morning with a long rambling diatribe..... so part way in he gets to the "slave" and he starts naming them off one by one.....ya know thanks for splane, pierce, barr, loesch....so on and so on....til he gets through them all.

  That guy's righteousness is known before men. Surely he is better than the rank and file.

  seeing as the wts has plagiarized the john william's jurassic park theme song, how about someone (v?

  ) put together a clip with song 92 (preach the word) playing in the background with all the society's beliefs about dinsosaurs?

  When they settle? There's a case out? If so, I don't think there's a leg to stand on. The Borg didn't copy the Jurassic Park theme.

  this has got to be an economic crunch for jws around here..financial housing crisis has hit many jws (and non-jws).

  the job market is very tight.

  Great observation, betterdaze. And what's even funnier is that there's no education or worship to be found, just mind control and boredom...

  I recall the 2006 convention title because so many were caught up by the local PO's words: "Deliverance at Hand! That must mean the end is getting close!"

  Anyone remember this illustration?

  do any of you remember or have heard recently the illustration, "imagine yourself working in the sun on a hot day, you're parched, thirsty, you need a drink.

  would you drink a glass full of water if it had a drop of poison in it?

  no matter how thirsty you are, would you?

  I think it's foreshadowing. WTBCS likes to poison the well, rhetorically speaking.

  By the way, the guy defending him CLEARLY knows NOTHING about JWs and their form of worship. The guy against him is a bit vague, too, but has at least done a tiny bit of prep work before showing up on tv.

  Yeah, the defender was a grinning idiot. "He's going to be there celebrating," Arthur said. There's nothing celebratory about the meetings. The only thing he will be celebrating will be his newfound access to little children!

  Kudos to the former prosecutor for knowing a bit about the JW meeting regime, though it isn't necessarily a daily thing.

  I have a theory that this creep knows other creeps, and these other creeps all know that being a dub is the best way for them to get their jollies because of the whole two witness rule. Why else would there be so many pedos in the hall?

  The chaperone arrangement is a genius move by this creep. None of them are trained. Arthur keeps saying, "He'll be with a minister," but we all know that title doesn't mean a damn thing. He'll be with some guy who may or may not do a good job in keeping him from getting close to children. He'll be with someone who he can befriend and eventually elude. The minister label means nothing.
