Was #1 even mentioned in that silly secret elder's video with prayer and cookies being the miraculous cure-all?

I know when I had my breakdown and followed my doctor's advice (umder no circumstances was I to meet with elders as the strain might push me to try suicide attempt as I was quite fragile) i was disfellowshipped in abstentia. No compassion or care shown in that shunning by my only friends and immediate family might aggravate the situation. Fortunately, they did me a favor and I was able to recover from my illness (Dubdom).

CHECKLIST for JW's, almost JW'S and fading JW's

by Terry in

jw
friends

1.the organization itself denies access to reality and substitutes its own version, interpretations and meanings.. a. only watchtower approved publications are allowed.. b. no higher education is to be pursued.. c. no non-jw friends or associations are encouraged with their "outside" points of view.. d. no free-style questioning of doctrine or criticism permitted.

curiousity is verboten.. e.t hreat of being "marked" or disassociated looms over them.

2.between every real-world event and the rank and file jw's mind is a roadblock.. a. the moment of identifying is short-circuited by an interpretive moment of re-labeling in watchtower-speak.. b. all things happening are forced into a narrow storyline and propagandized as end times happenings leading to armageddon.. ___________________.

Reverse Shunning

by exwhyzee in

someting happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.

it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.

there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.

How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?

by BucketShopBill in

jw
friends

is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

FreeGirl2006

Seriously, if you don't want to donate-move along instead of getting your panties in a twist.

Coumt me in once you get the details together.

I see you are going to the Cincinnati Comic Expo...I won't be at that one (or River City) but my boyfriend and his company will. If you end up going to Epic Con Ohio in October let me know as I will be at that one and it would be fun to meet you.

Disturbing Footnote in Tomorrow's Study Article...

by HeyThere in

article is basicqlly about families where a spouse is working away from home for an extended period, etc...a foot note says basically that some studies have shown that working away from home can cause serious consequences, such as infidelity, homosexuality, or incest.

.

pull it up on jw.org...that is what it says.

FreeGirl2006

Since when did they start to care about incest? Without two witnesses, incest doesn't happen in their rule book. Does homosexuality really happen in the Borg without two witnesses???
