here's the story,.
been "inactive" for 2.5 years.from that day forward my elder brother, sister and parents have treated me as an apostate, seeing how i told them i didn't believe in their bible or god.
i have been exluded from everything but since getting pregnant, my parents now want to be part of the babies life (just to "save" the child i'm sure, but thats what monitors are for).
Any response to your letter?

does anybody have the data to find the watchtower educational center, patterson, ny in google earth?
They did spend several million on a studio.

this disease is running rampant among jehovah`s witness`s..theres not one that dosen`t have it.it seems to be contagious.my mom has it,my dad had it,my brother has it,all the jehovah`s witness`s i know have it..an incredible loss of memory,a mental deterioration that can happen instantly!..it has nothing to do with every day life memory loss,like "alzhiemer`s"..it is loss of memory about thier own religion and only affects jehovah`s witness`s..it`s "jozhiemer`s disease"..have you,or do you know anyone who has a loss of memory about their own religion because of "jozhiemer`s disease?

I think it would sound better as Jehozhiemers Disease.

What standing did he have in the cong?

well, things have moved on...my jw man has been agonizing over whether he should be seeing me or not?!
if i was a jw it would all be different?!
is that not like saying if i was not "black,american,german,white ect" surely this is racism of some kind?
What has drawn you to him is probably the personality he developed by being a dub.
If he leaves the dubs he will be a different man.

ok....maybe this is stupid, but i was thinking of all of us setting up a day to go to the meeting and all that are here and hiding, or just lurk here could participate and we could set up an underground support system.
it would just entail a simple gesture at the meeting....like holding a tissue, or some toilet paper.
(like you had a runny nose) if there are elder lurkers and they tried to "catch" someone doing this...what could they say.."why are you holding a tissue????????
Interesting idea; I wonder how many Elderly sisters who always have a hanky will get the nod or a wink or raised eyebrows. LOL

ok, my parents are shunning me, but i refuse to do the same to them.
i do not believe it is proper to shun people and i won't be led by their guidelines.
i am sending my parents an anniversary gift and card.
I guess Hallmark doesn't have a card for every occasion!
I might opt out of taking the family to this one...

my mom just informed me that a 17 year old has been disfellowshipped at her hall.at least 7 others have been kicked out within the last 5 years.the publisher count is only 56 .why do they let the teens get baptized so young?
i was 14 and only got baptized because of pressure and the end was coming.if you weren't baptized you would be destroyed.. why don't they wait until everyone is at leat 21?
all these teens haven't come back and you won't ever see them unless they return.i haven't seen my cousin in over 2 years.no one went to his wedding,isn't invited to any family functions and is to be avoided at all costs.. the watchtower society should be ashamed that they act that way and the parents let them get away with it..
Many times a DF decision is made based on the attitude of the person. Teens seem drawn to irreverence that will invariably be displayed at a JC. From a teens perspective most elders seem like old codgers that can't get it up.
I agree that they should wait until they are more mature.

Thank goodness the Police were doing there job on this one.
It's likely the congregation knew nothing about his past.
Like someone on another thread said, "As long as your a publisher your in good standing."
