DOC, if he continues at try and talk to members of his cong 2 things are likley to happen, a local needs talk will inform the cong that under no circumstances does anyone in the cong speak to this person and the elders will give him a stern talking to, I cant understand why anyone would want to play their stupid games , he isn't going to win.

They don't know what to do....
by pbrow inhave been going to a few meetings to support my kids that have to go with their mother.
i knew it would be a powerful lesson for them to see how these loving people treat their father who da'd a while ago.
couple of elders tried to corner me the 2nd or 3rd time i went to remind me that i cant talk to anyone.... i however reminded them that i am not df'd and i can talk to whomever i want to.

Do You Honestly Believe That You Would Have Officially Left The JW Religion If They Didn't Shun You?
by minimus ini left as an inactive person.
i pretty much have been left alone by the elders and witnesses, as far as being hounded.. i know of many that either disassociated or got disfellowshipped.. i'm wondering if you think you would have remained a jw, in name only, if the religion (cult) didn't shun and penalize as they do..

when I was a Dub the prospect of full shunning was a dreadull thought , I never planned on the outcome of my departure, DA albeit done in a totally underhanded way, I just got on with my life, I'd hit a far greater emotional downfall when I left my JW wife and my marriage was in ruins sometime before, life goes on thankfully.

I thought DA'ed folk have the same status as a DF'ed person ie the full shunning etc?

Bizarre comment about jw.org at SAD
by sir82 inrecently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.
"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.
in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.

Standing on Street Corners, Counting Time - the Impotent Future of Preaching
by passwordprotected inyou see them all over the place now, 2 or 3 of them standing near a portable display of bible-based literature, chatting to each other.
counting time.. i've seen them in london, glasgow and cluj (romania).
the portable display is always the same.

The zeal has gone out of the preaching work , their is no more urgency to the work.
by smiddy inthis is an observation i have made .
yesterday a group of jw`s entered the street where i live , i`m at the end of a street and they stood around and obviously joked and mucked around for about 10 minutes as a group opposite my house .their were 3 teenage girls ,1 teenage boy , and 3 older men .
this was about 10:30 am on a saturday.

long are the days of the "foot in door " merchants and "yelling down the letterbox" , if any thing these stupid metal racks make their work even less effective and leaves them to just muck around, play with their phones and gossip.

the usual, get some placards printed, a few lumps of 2 be 1 , some nails and bingo you have all the tools for your first "picket", wont do much though, it reinforces their stupid persuction complex, the best tools for getting them to think is the "google button"

I was at that 1969 International Convention at Wembley Stadium as well as a 3 year old, my old man would have loved it, and would have been one of the first there and the last out, he had a 1 year old daughter as well, wonderful parenting eh ?
