no disfellowship for inactive?

by jaccilynn in

my mother was having a moment while she went to visit a friend a few weeks ago, worrying about me being disfellowshiped and having our relationship change.

the sister told my mom, that i could not be disfellowshiped because i am not an active memeber of the congregation.

supposedly, her daughter was a full time pioneer, stopped attending meetings, and realized that she is a lesbian.

You cannot be disfellowshipped for not going to meetings or being "inactive". Just be smart out being inactive, and all your "loving brothers & sisters" will leave you alone.

sorry if some didnt get the point.

it was a black talk as we say.

it wasnt to be funny about the children molested, but a way to open up the jw mind and take a look at whats inside.

the result of the airing of the dateline program has been very positive.

dateline program will no doubt air again in reruns and may get further coverage soon.

there have been many mixed emotions as a result of this program.

DATELINE: BLACK ART OF PROPAGANDA

by You Know in

hardly anyone has an honest opinion about anything of importance that wasnt craftily pre-packaged and handed to them by someone else whose job it is to craft public opinion.

the intention of the media is to present the illusion of impartially informing, all the while pandering to prejudice and ignorance in order to persuade to a particular point of view.

datelines presentation of the watchtowers child abuse issue was a case study in the black art of media propaganda.. from the very beginning of the presentation dateline was intent on giving the public a negative impression of jehovahs witnesses by portraying us all as oddball crackpots whose religion revolves around the doctrine that we dont celebrate birthdays and that all non-believers are possessed by the devil and that we want them all to die.
