hi guys,.
i was just looking through www.reddit.com/r/exjw and there is a thread that was posted about four hours ago with the title "so our circuit overseer just got disfellowshipped" and there some basic details in their op.
the location is given as central coast, australia, which is north of sydney.. there aren't many more details other than "it has sent shockwaves throguh the congregations" and a query on the protocol in situations like this.
What a shame it wasn't Han Hubler .....he should have been DFed years ago.

we're trying to rebuild our lives after leaving the org, have new experiences and create new memories for ourselves.
we're planning out our trip to hawaii, nz, austrailia and tahati in february.
i thought i'd see if anyone on here could give us some advice on places to see/stay/eat in brisbane and thereabouts, as well as places to steer clear of.
If your coming to Auckland nz pm me. There are many secnic interesting places in nz.
love to catch up for a meal.

we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.
fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.
i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

i can only recall one occasion.
it was when my brother and future wife were dating.
they had dinner at my parents' house, along with her uber-zealous/borderline psychotic parents.
An Elder gave a talk when "Sat nite fever" came out how we all not to go and see it.
i posted this on an older thread, but i wanted to get an honest opinion about this from all of you.
i think taking the 1975 approach with a jw is...weak.
was it wrong (and false prophetic) of them?
I was around pre 75 and the WTS all but said the end would be here in 75.
At an international connvention in late 73 a member of the GB said "This is quite likely the last assembly this side of armaggeden"
Notice he used "Quite likely" and easy out there.
There were talks,Assembly parts ect all but saying the end would be here in 75 but all loaded with frasers that could get them off the hook if need be.
Anyone that didn't buy into the whole 75 thing was to be considered week at best.
Then along came 1976!!!
People leaving in their drovers publisher numbers going down for the 1st time.
Nathan.H.Nour went on a world wide speaking campain to drum up the masses.
In his talk he said "In the highly unlikley event we see the year 2000"
More loaded words "Highly unlikley" another out there.
Alot of the Elders,C.O's,D.O's around now were not even around pre 75 and all tow the party line that it wasent the WTS fault we all read to much into it.
i loved taxi with (alex) judd hirsch and his fellow cabbies.
one of the funniest lines involved reverend jim trying to get a license.
"what does a yellow light mean"?, jim quietly asks.
"Well there's one thing you gota ask yourself punk..Do you fell lucky well do ya punk"
And we all know were that line came from.
