I never had a bad personal experience, but as I remember, after someone was DF'd or DA'd, eventually you always found out why, sometimes with tid-bits about the JC conversation. The source would have to be the elders.

Confidentiality and the elders.
by LtCmd.Lore inwhile talking to a jw elder: if you specifically state that you are speaking to him as and elder, and that you want the conversation to be classified.
is he legally required to keep it secret, like a church confessional or doctor/patient type thing?.

The Colour Green / Am I just a cynic: Re Earth Day.
by Guest with Questions infirst, i want to state that i am not against protecting our planet and i think we all should do what we can to conserve and be more environmentally conscientious.. i dont have facts but this whole earth day concert doesnt seem to sit right with me.
is the green earth about the environment or is it about green money, are some environmentalists really green bigots or am i green with envy?
im sure there are many who are sincere but have they thought out what this event contributed to the pollution of the earth?

That reminds me: When Black-Eyed Peas were playing in London (yes I did sometimes watch it) I saw a sign on stage that read Good News. How much did it cost the Watchtower to pay for this ad? Just kidding!
I saw that sign too! It made me laugh. I watched the show for the music, but a few tips on how to save energy and save some $$ is always good.

Goodbye, my sweet sister
by sweetface2233 ini was raised as a witness and have been miserable for my entire existence.
i have hated every moment of it.
after about 10 years of struggling, i decided 2 years ago that i was done w/ the charade and wasn't going to return to the meetings.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's good that you joined us. You'll get a lot of support here.
In time, your sister may start speaking to you again. She's just angry right now. You know how the witnesses feel threatened whenever they are faced with anything outside of their comfort zone. They have a fight and flight reaction. But I'm sure your sister still loves you, and when she calms down, she may realize that she's taking things too far. I am trying to get my sister out too, and we had terrible fights. But we agreed to disagree and keep the topic on other things. She will bring it up and if it goes too far, I just tell her that we need to stop now, or I'll say things she doesn't want to hear.
Stay strong.

For mother's out there...cleaning a son's bedroom!
by restrangled inmy son is twenty years old, a good kid, is doing great in college so i usually keep the door closed to his bedroom so i don't have to look.
today he took out a huge batch of laundry for me to do and the odor from that bedroom had me reeling.. here is my humorous but deadly serious post on the matter:!!!!!.
after vacuuming, enough dust to fill the entire dust bin in the vacuum.. enough change on the floor to keep him in fast food for a week.....(don't ask me for money).

My son is only 13, but his room never gets that bad. Why? Because I decided a long time ago that he shouldn't be spending his time cleaning his room. He does help with his laundry, but I need help with the rest of the house! So I would rather clean his room (from time to time), in exchange for vacumming the other rooms, scrubbing floors, bathtubs, and other things that need to be done. Chores are also good for punishment and earning extra money. He cleaned toilets for the first time after getting in trouble at school. So yes, I'll clean his room, because the rest of the house looks great!

It's just another way to control people in the congregations. Whatever they can't fit into the categories of disfellowshipping or public reproof, they can always go to door # 3, marking.
