I lost my temper and said the "F", "S" and "D" words several times, said hateful things to El Mariachi on this board, and I am on my way to the pool to see what else I can get into.

What disfellowshippable offenses have you done for the day?
by ColdRedRain intoday, as i celebrated the last day in the first half of my 20's, i started doing all sorts of sinful things.
i have done the following disfellowshippable offenses i've smoked weed, i've been on an unchaperoned date (with the most wonderful person in the world, my beautiful and still charming ex girlfriend), i've gotten drunk, talked to a disfellowshipped person, and to boot, i'm on an apostate site.

I Got The Phone Call Last Night - My Dad Died

he died peacefully and fairly painlessly.
my mom said she was talking with him, went to answer the phone, and 5 minutes later he was gone.

Brenda, I am sorry to hear about your father, and I am sorry for the pain you have had to endure because of being cut off from your family. It is very difficult to feel that your own parents really never knew you as a adult. There is so much pain involved in losing a parent (my father died 3 years ago), but especially so if you were not able to spend time with him as you would have wished. I hope that time will ease some of the pain and that if nothing else, at least the relief of knowing for sure what happened to him will help some with that. I haven't been on the board long, but you mentioned you had also been ill, I hope you are feeling better and on your way to recovery.

A Bad experience with JW is a permit for SIN?
by El Mariachi ini've been reading some sad experinces here... i dont see anyone talking about the bible... only how misserables the organization made their lives... ok ...so because of that...now i have permission to smoke marijuana and commit fornication?
this sounds pretty much like aa... and everybody having his/her personal "superior power" who is giving them the permit to do whatever they want...
i've been df for 4 years now and also dont agree with some jw teachings... why instead of blaming the wt for everything dont we look for the real truth in the bible and make things right.

Public Reproof: What is it? Has it ever happend in your Hall or to you?
by jayhawk1 inwhat is public reproof?
does the watchtower corp still use it?
do they use a judicial committee for it?
-

okie46
yes, Jayhawk, I have always heard the same phrase, that it is a loving arrangement to assist the wayward person. Unfortunately, it does more damage than good in my experience. If you truly love someone and are concerned for their welfare, than you would continue to encourage them by word and deed, cutting them off from association does emotional damage which can cause some to go off the deep end from despair, three people I grew up with have committed suicide after being disfellowshipped. I don't think throwing people out who did something wrong but want to stay in the organization is very loving.

EL Mariachi... no one is making you come here... is someone forcing you to read this board??? For many of us, this is the only contact with others who understand the emotional pain that comes with leaving the WTS and trying to make our own way and make our own decisions for the first time in our lives..if you don't agree or understand then take your leave.

Why all the hostility toward WTS?
by hambeak in.
i'm very new to this and please understand, but at one time or another most everyone here was a loyal and faithful witness.. if you disapproove of it or don't fit in as i don't.
why keep pounding at them it is like an obsession.. i would really like to know.

Because the WTS divides families... because I have left the society, my beloved daughter will not speak to me.. even when I had major surgery and was in the hospital, she would not even contact me to make sure that I was okay. I did everything I could to raise my children to be happy and healthy, how is it okay that a daughter will not contact her ill mother just because the WTS says you should not speak to a person who has left the organization?

Went to a Public Talk and WT Study, after about 5 yrs away.
by frankiespeakin init was boring,,snooze city, there were room for a bout 200 and they didn't have more than 40 in attendance very few youths mostly older ones(30 and beyound).
i didn't have a clue what the speaker was saying thank god i came a 1/2 late, those poor poor people that have to sit thru such mind numbing drival about how we are to treat people in the congregation and not to be jealous bla bla bla.
the wt the reader was drone the conductor brain dead and every body answered the wt by practically reading their answer word for word from the wt,, it was pitiful,,pitiful.

The Judicial Committee Has Been Formed
by LennyinBluemont inwell, the hard, rusty gears of theocratic justice has begun to turn, and the teeth have caught me.
for those of you who read my earlier threads, in february of 2005, a "sister" i had known for almost 30 years contacted me and wanted to know what i had learned in the years since i had faded.
after granting me full assurance of confidentiality, in writing, i disclosed to her the un scandal.
