  pamphlet

  my jw mother gave me a pamphlet from her convention "when will the suffering end" or something to that effect.

  anyway, the back page mentions "upright" ones and then it mentions "blameless " ones.

  i was wondering if jws consider both of these "ones" to be the same people (jws) or if they consider them different groups?

  Thank you for your reply, Frannie. But I was wondering who they considered the upright and blameless to be in that tract.

  Thank you for the replies. I have never been disfellowshipped to my knowledge. Since we moved to Indiana after I decided to fade away, I don't believe anyone here has any idea I was ever a jw anyway. (except my family). It just bothers me that somewhere in Louisana I might still be on their files. I would like that part of my life erased.

  Hi All,

  How long do you have to be inactive before they take you off their records? I have been out for 30 odd years and have not heard a word from them for many years. My Mom is still very active (but in a different cong. and state), but acts as if I was never a member around other jws. Is she still worried that I will be d/f? She does not know that I read apostate literature or lurk here. Would that make a difference to her or her friends? Gene Spradling

  I know my jw mom considers me a non-practicing jw, but I have been an Xjw for close to 30 years. I should have been disfellowshipped many times over. Either my mom has never turned me in or they just don't care in the her cong.
