  to all who were DF'd

  by somebody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi folks,.

  i'm doing some interesting research on the procedure of reinstatement back into the org.. if anyone here can relate how many months/years passed by from the time you got df'd, till the time you got reinstated, it would be very helpful.

  also include how often elders met with you, if you attended meetings regularly during the time you were df'd, and if you approached the elders for reinstatement(and how many times you approached them), or they approached you.

  Flags and Ensigns or Divisions and Signs

  by Thirdson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a new poster to this board claimed this is not an official witness site because of the flag displayed here.

  one of the big jw problems has been with flags.

  the right not to have to salute a flag has been claimed as a big freedom victory.

  Ridiculous trips to the 'back room'

  by Esmeralda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the posts in the elders meeting thread got me thinking about this, so i've spun it off for into another thread.. were you ever 'counseled' because "some" in the congregation were disturbed by things you said/did/listened to/watched?.

  here is just some of the stupid stuff that the elders brought me in on.

  though they were usually handled through shepherding calls, not in the back room at the kh.. 1: because i decided to change my first and middle names.

  Emotional attachment to Watchtower

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you can hit witnesses with child screwers, un arse kissing, 1975 redux, etc.

  etc.. you will influence people who do not have an emotional attachment or who have lost their emotional attachment to the society, but you won't get anywhere from people who still have that emotional attachment.. religion, including that of jehovah's witnesses is based on emotion not logic, so trying logic is a waste of time.. you have to get people emotionally detached by getting them emotionally attached to something besides the orgy.. flugs.

  Prevalence of JW Suicides - Real or Imagined?

  by AMNESIAN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in one or two recent threads i've seen reference to the possibility of a rising number of jw suicides being another of the organization's very dark realities about which it is vigilant in keeping concealed from its pub populace.

  is there anyone reasonably informed regarding this?

  is there reason to suppose the incidence ratio among jws is any higher than among any peoples/religion?

  The Rainbow as a sign to Noah

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know if this has ever been brought out - i just thought of it:.

  the bible tells us that it rained for forty days and forty nights.. it stopped raining and noah & co floated around for a bit.. when they landed, noah sacrificed some of the animals (weren't they in short supply?

  ) and god promised never to bring a deluge upon then earth again.. to back this up, there was a rainbow in the sky as a sign.. now, what causes a rainbow?
