once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.
he named each song after a person in our family.
this is the one he named heather.
Love Is Not How You Forget But How you forgive
Not how you Listen But How You Understand
Not what you See But How you feel
&
Not how you Let Go but how you hold on.

to those who don't believe in this shyt:you'd better not post here .
ok...so you ever used it?what experiences do you have?were you able to summon a demon?what did he tell you?what did you see?i'm really curious and i wanna try it!.
A family member of mine was playing with an Ouija board as a teenager ...she ask who she would marry
They all laughed at the time because it spelt out a name with a lot of x's and y's which they had never heard of before.
A few years later she recalled that name and that experience because she did marry him !!!!
for anybody attending a international convention .. 5 body of elders letters just leaked .
"applicant instructions".. ********************.
applicants must be exemplary in every respect, including dress and grooming.
"delegates" are having their trips paid for or subsidized by the folks back home. It is not at all unreasonable for the society to provide these sort of guidelines, especially some of these hicks may be traveling to countries where blue jeans are simply not socially acceptable"
A thinking man .. a comprehensive reader
Of course we know that "by extension " this no jeans rule would be expected to be followed down the line
How unreasonable it is for factory works to change into a suit and tie for every meal...
it's good for appearance sake but a time
waster and a hassle for the workers

ok so to start... i am still an active jw... but only because i cannot get out yet... i am slowly planning to get out.... i should really read hassan's cult control book... it seems like i am getting everything wrong in trying to help the people i know to know ttatt.. so i will need your help, all of you dear people.. my current, actual beliefs are pretty much agnostic... no belief in any particular dogma, but i believe there is a higher power out there.... there are so many things on my mind... for example,.
1. the fact that no nt manuscript contains the name "jehovah".
2. the blood doctrine.
motivation must come from within ..without desire or reward there is no incentive to listen or change
Sharing your thoughts about TTATT with people who are not ready for it usually fails....even your best friends and closest family will not engage past a point

Facts do not matter when confronted with the power of belief. ~~~LostGeneration
Usually personal injury or injustice starts people thinking... but to pull the rug out and leave them floundering
leads to fear and uncertainty.
Start with what the WT has taken away from them... not what it has given them
The WT offers paradise earth with a petting zoo along with fruit platters for all of eternity ~~~.LostGeneration
what is your carrot ?
We are blessed with tons of different ideas or talents, we are pressured by the WT that you get "just pick one"
from the secret elders' book which states that the list "of course" is "not comprehensive".
nevertheless here are the acts that they deem worthy of specifying as being possible grounds for chucking people out:.
murdermanslaughter such as killing someone while breaking traffic lawsattempting suicidesexual intercourse with someone other than your spouseanal sex with someone other than your spouseoral sex with someone other than your spousesexual stimulation of the genitals of someone other than your spousedelay in reporting a rape?
There are rules that came from an Elders school that the Elders had to pencil into the Elder's manual.
"Penciled in" gives direction without accountability ink erasers can leave a nasty trail

Disassociating is something you do, whereas disfellowshipping is something they (the elders) do. Both have the same outcome as regards shunning, and the announcement to the congregation is the same.
Although disassociation is "self-inflicted" as it were, it can be forced upon you if your actions are interpreted as demonstrating that you no longer consider yourself one of Jehovah's Witnesses. An example would be joining the army, attending another church . I think regular attendence at a church after being spoken to would be considered defiance without actually becoming a member right ?
I think the reason certain things don't appear on the list is stated on page one...human rights issues
To be fully complete, you'd need to add the list of things that result in "disassociating oneself" (i.e., things that the WTS is afraid of being sued over, or afraid of losing prestige or influence over, so they didn't make the DF list):
-- Joining the military
-- Accepting a blood transfusion
-- Voting ~~~sir82

Continuing in employment under a promoter of false worship for more than six months
What about 5 months, three weeks?
I think the time thing given is to allow time to find other employment much like being given 6 months to quite smoking.
Back in the day when the Society imposed a smoking ban and gave all smokers six months to quit or be disfellowshipped
Just as this one....
Fondling the breasts of someone you are not married to on numerous occasions
intent would not be in doubt if numerous events occured
These would involve showing "mercy" and giving a person the benefit of the doubt right ?
