the situation: a friend of mine was df'ed recently.
i live with my mom, who is still active.. my mom told me that this friend couldn't come around anymore now.. i said that i had already figured that out, because she would be dfed if she kept contact with him, so she could do nothing else but follow the rules of the borg.. she responded that this was not so, that this was her personal choice ('out of love') :s. just to be sure.. we all know this is crap, right?
examples, quotes, please!.
Ask her, if it is so loving, would Jesus do it?
Would Jesus endorse disfellowshipping???
No, he was the one who said, ''Whoever of you is not guilty of sin, cast the first stone''
Ask her how disfellowshipping is loving?
It makes the disfellowshipped one feel UNLOVED, not loved.
Tell her to use her heart and her own BRAIN for a change instead of the WT's thinking.
first of all, why don't all of you congratulate me on 2000 posts!
in other news, the jc is over.
because of this we have an elder that lied to us and to my wife parents.
Congrats on your 2000 posts, Drew!
Yes, I think he did chicken out in the JC.
He was probably sincere but he realized that he would not be able to say ANYTHING against the GB,
he was a force against you to alleviate the fear that they would attack him next.
He was naive to think that he could defend you..being a young elder to the cult.
I would write to the Congregation first, and then the elders. Let everyone know how it went down.
Give a recording of the tape to everyone in your congregation.
You did well!
as a good witness i only swore once (aloud) in my 30 year theocratic career (at work).
have any members here started $&^%ing since leaving the borg?.
a fairly new publisher once said in a talk "when a householder tells you to f%$ off".
NICE!
The brothers who go all out on RULES are going to have those RULES bite them in the ass one day.

It was probably Rutherford, he was known to have said damn on different occasions.
Afterall, he was drunk all the time, he would have less inhibitions against letting some expletetives out.
please check this out!
i find it very interesting.
your thoughts please.. http://www.forbetterlife.org/index.asp.
Great find nvrgnbk!
the question box in july deals with the internet - mainly concerned with children on myspace & similar sites -mentioning that your child could be talking to paedophiles , dfd ones or even "active apostates" .
the main article deals with the - "exciting" and "thrilling" news of the new wt arrangement (maybe some people should get out more).
nothing new in the article , which has as the sole justification the need no longer to explain "theocratic" terms like "pioneer" , but it does seem that the awake will be tailored more to non-christian people.
An elder said to me once that the most "dangerous apostates" were the ones who were "half" apostates, I guess that means the undercover apostate.
Hee hee Go! Apostates Go!
He actually meant to say:
''They are the ones we haven't caught and stoned yet, oops, did I say stoned, I meant disfellowship''
this past weekend, we met a new couple in our campground, and the conversation soon came 'round to the supernatural.
the lady said she has had quite a few supernatural experiences, and that she plays her own home-made version of the ouija board.
my husband was all excited and begged her to play .
I just realized why Ouijas work sometimes, amd sometimes not.
It depends on the demons in your locale.
Some are slackers, hence nothing.
Some are real go-getters, hence weird stuff happens.
Those crazy demons.
I guess they're not so different from us at all.
LL @ nvrgnbk - funny guy!

Lt.Cmdr.Lore,
(Love your name btw)
What if the glass was completely dry? how did it move then? It's ok to be skeptical about it, and I understand skeptics,
but what if you were there, and saw the glass move yourself, not just a millimeter of movement, but move about 6-12 inches?
....how would explain seeing that with your very eyes?
(most people use dry glasses...not wet ones, especially not frozen ones)....just a thought.

I think they are more afraid of the ''active apostates'' than they are of the inactive ones.
The active apostates are the ones that they dont know about, and can do the most damage help.

Active apostate = an active JW who is an undercover apostate
Inactive apostate = A known apostate or DF'd or DA'd ex-JW.
