  Nu lite: there is an 11th toe, it's the camel's toe. It's the antetype of the governing body.

  so oompa got df'd this week...

  by oompa in

  2. friends

  no call to invite me to a committee meeting...no notification of deciding i should be df'd....no telling my jw wife of the announcement...not a chance to appeal what i did not even know what was going on...my mini-serve son is devasted....he even researched it....told me to go to page 153-154 of the od book...never heard of it but it is a green hardback given to all who are to be baptized.

  wow...the elders broke every rule in this book as to my case.... i have no respect for these men that can take away your jw family without even telling you they are going to.

  my jw son has now begged me to meet with my committee...even though there is prob zero chance they can reverse the decision...that chance is from when they let you know...and you have to appeal by letter within 7 days (i cant make this stuff up!!

  RIP Eric. We arrived at JWN around the same time and I identified a lot with his heartache.

  He will be missed.

  Um.. hi, everyone…

  ...again.... ...despite the fact that i doubt anyone here will even really remember me, i actually feel kinda embarrassed coming back here after just up and stopping over a year ago with nary an explanation; its a long story... suffice it to say, my life kinda went to hell in a handbasket, but its a little bit back on track, now, plus my immediate family (excluding my devout jw mom) is just as out as me.

  thats something.. i never stopped missing the conversations i had here, and started lurking again shortly before the wtss current shitstorm got started.

  id forgotten my password, though, and only just figured out what it was again.. one thing about leaving jwn i feel really bad about was the fact that i made a really good friend in poopsiecakes, and then suddenly cut off all contact; i owe her a huge apology and a decent explanation (assuming shes ever willing to speak with me again).. .

  What does your avatar/screen name mean?

  by Christ Alone in

  2. friends

  some avatars and screen names are pretty self explanatory, but some...i can't figure out.

  i just wanted to know why you chose your particular screen name and/or avatar.

  mine is easy enough.

  My avatar is a scene from the Truman Show when Jim Carrey's character takes his first steps towards freedom as he leaves the dome fake reality he was raised in.

  My username is pretty insignificant really.

  I agree with Nathan Natas. Anyone who says this sort of scenario is impossible ignores historical precedent. That said, I think it's much more likely that something like this could happen at HQ, especially now they're moving out of Brooklyn to upstate compounds. This will only serve to enhance their sense of isolation from the real world.

  At what age do people 'wake up'?

  i was thinking about this question recently after being at the meeting when new pioneers were announced for the 2013 service year.. we have a dozen or so pioneers in the congregation, and most are in their 20's.

  some absolutely love the things they are taught and can't wait to spread the good news.. others in the congregation are going through the motions, tired of hearing the same old same old but have no way to change things now.

  then there are a couple like me.

  It is not a requirement for them to sit in a particular seat but given the excruciatingly awkward reality of shunning a lot of disfellowshipped people would choose to sit at the back.
