  Sorry to hear of your loss.

  I was wondering the same as Voila posted above regarding your grandfather, hope it all works out.

  I posted here not to long ago that here in NYC in the 1970's the Borg purchased an old Orthodox Jewish Synagogue for Circuit Aseemblies.

  just when you think you've made friends with a "normal" person

  rode over to the farmer's market with a couple of neighbors, nice women, seem sensible.

  the driver stopped in the middle of a block and stared at the coca-cola truck that was parked there.

  she said, "do you see the round tower?

  She sounds like a few folks from the neighboring KH Congregations (as well as the one I attended) while growing up.

  1st Time in 3 Years JW's call at our Door - Two 30 yr. long Time JW's

  i thought i was back on the jw radar after my jw daughter had a local elder call on me back in 2011 - but apparently not.

  he obviously didn't let his elders know i lived here, no record was kept for posterity and just called my daughter telling her that her " dad has differences with the organization " because he never called back on me as he promised to talk again.

  as i'm just inactive for 10 years.. so these two older jw ladys come knocking yesterday - one lady about 57 and the other lady older about 71 yrs.old ( i asked how long they had been jw's and told me they both have been in 30 years.

  Friggin amazing Flipper !!

  I hope they do come back, so you can ask them why your two daughters no longer associate with you and you haven't been "excommunicated" either ! And ask them about that scripture that says honor your mother and father.

  What you say in the video is all true, I heard you say you felt like a monkeys ass when you were knocking on the doors, so I gues that's why your husband is wearing a monkey mask. . . . ??

  Can You Be Disfellowshipped For Merely Repeating What Apostates Are Saying? Even If You Deny Belief In What Is Said?

  by frankiespeakin in

  say a person wants to start making fellow jws think and open up their eyes so they decide to just repeat what they have read on some apostate site but deny any agreement with what read.

  how many times do you think he could do it before being called into a committee, and eventually be disfellowshipped?.

  how long could someone last playing that cat and mouse game walking on the edge repeating apostate criticism but denying agreement?.

  Why not, JWs have been DFd for way more crazier reasons.

  I wonder if those kids in the picture above had to call their great grandparents to find out who Paul McCartney is.

  In one of your posts above you said he isn't physially abusive "yet".

  You're already being emotionally abused, I think you know that

  i thought i sent a goodbye message on fb to two jdubs that i used to hang out with.

  it sounded like goodbye to me, without saying goodbye.

  here's what i wrote:.

  "If you ever want to get in contact with me for any reason, you know where I am at. I still would like to have our kids play together again and have you guys over for dinner at my new place"

  That doesn't sound like a REAL goodbye since generally speaking you're still allowing them into your life and I'm sure you know that the dyed in the wool JW who asked are you back meant are you back attending meetings., so I guess this Uber dubs kids won't be allowed to associate with yours.

  Then you write YOU DON'T consider yourself Dfd anymore, but I bet they do. I mean seriously, think, just because you don't consider yourself DFd, what do you think the JWs think of you?

  I had TOO MANY aunts growing up (my mother was the youngest of 7, plus a few from my fathers side) so every time you go visiting or they come to your house you just knew you were gonna get smothered. I don't initiate hugs, but so many folks I know do, but I don't turn away (like I always felt like doing as a kid)
