  Mere Children who are Disfellowshipped

  by BabaYaga in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this was inspired by another thread, where freetosee told of a young witness baptised at the tender age of 9, and disfellowshipped at age 12!!!

  the mind goes wild at what a 12-year-old should ever be disfellowshipped for.

  how would a kid be so unrepentant they would deserve losing their family and friends?

  Your opinion: Are those raised as Witnesses more likely to end up godless?

  by under_believer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was thinking about this the other day and wanted to get your (yes: your) opinion.

  i find myself slipping farther and farther down the agnostic scale in my thinking--it's possible that i'll end up an atheist.

  my suspicion is that because i was raised being taught that all other religions are false, that i came to the conclusion that if the witnesses don't have "the truth" then nobody does.

  WT monitors sites?

  by Gordy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a post on the other day someone was asking about whether the wt monitors websites such as this and other "apostate" sites.. unfortunately i couldn't find it to add this to it.

  i remembered a jw who worked on installing computers at london bethel, some time ago telling me that the wt did monitor websites.

  this jw is gradually fading away from being one, so can't say to much about him.

  Cover Letter and Letter of Disassociation.

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am forced to either accept df'ing without any defense [i clearly have none against charges of apostasy], or to at least 'speak my mind' one last time as i exit, with a hope of perhaps helping others to 'wake up'.. to that end - i have elected to send a letter of da to the elders - but more importantly - a copy of it, with a cover letter, to several families in the congregation.

  most of these things never have a positive result, i know.

  but at least i have attempted in this way to give a little defense for my position.
