You should walk in, tell the elders to go fuck themselves, and walk straight out.
Then get a boyfriend, get laid, and get a life and live happily ever after.
Seriously!
this site is great, i have been lurking for a while now.
but i can’t get reinstated and have used some of the advice already given.. i was df’d many months ago and go to all the meetings and do all the preparation for the meetings, but the jc committee keep refusing me.
tomorrow at the clam meeting i am puting yet another letter in and will be called for another dreadful jc meeting.. 1. what can i say to the elders to show that i am truly repentant?.

just thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.
that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!
but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.
I enjoyed the 3 episode documentary 'The Code' by mathematician Marcus du Sautoy but this takes it to another level, sort of.
look, now before i speak, i want to say that it is very okay for someone to not believe.
are they hurting anyone?
killing anyone?
Religious belief and the angry God phenomenon has caused chaos, destruction, death, and wars for centuries. The time for evolving into a modern society and classifying these archaic beliefs as a mental disorder has been long overdue.
AMEN TO THAT!

never a jw, but have had bible studies and attended several meetings and even a convention once.
i've always been agnostic with leanings toward the belief in some deity or other, although the more i learned from the jw's, the more i've learned to doubt, not just their teachings, but the fundamental teachings of all religions.
JWs are forbidden from living with worldly people. How can you have a JW 'roommate' when you're not a JW? Are you related to her?
jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.
there is another mode for how he exists.
now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.
If there is a God it's totally aloof, non-communicative, non-intervening. Not the slightest bit of evidence it notices us or cares. And if it is watching us, it has no morality since it does nothing to stop evil and suffering. So it may as well not exist.
God is irrelevant, as Buddhism teaches.

"some may feel that they can interpret the bible on their own.
however, jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only* channel for dispensing spiritual food.
Name one religion that doesn't demand loyalty to its religious leaders. It's just the nature of religion.
In fact, it's the nature of any money making global organisation, secular or religious.
You wanna be a member of some religious nuthouse or employee of some rapacious wealthy corporation, you gotta be loyal and tow the line.
