  3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

  4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

  Not willing to meet with Elders? DF?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a person says that they are not willing to meet with the elders or does not meet with them, will that get them df'ed?

  there is a rumor about a person who has left the truth (went inactive) about being imoral.

  they do not have the 2 person witness so they can't take actions because of this.

  I refused to show up. They kept setting up committee meetings and leaving me phone messages where and when to show up, and I absolutely did not show up. They sent me registered letters that I would never sign for. I heard it was turned over to three different committees over an eighteen month period. The last committee was made up of a young group of elders, one being someone that my husband and I had met in the door 2 door work and studied with. The 3rd committee decided to DF me in my absense. They sent me a registered letter to notify me of the decision (that I did not sign for). Eventually they notified some elders in a hall in another town that knew my father in still another town. They called him and asked him to notify me that I was DF'ed. Message received. It was very anti climatic - my father called me while I was sitting in traffic on my way to work on a Monday morning. He gave me the news and then we talked about his pet chckens and the weather.

  I did not care what their decision was. But I did know that there was no way in hell I would EVER go sit before three men and talk my vagina. I was a dignified 40 something woman. NO REGRETS!

  Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

  he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

  the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

  Wow! That is a pretty hefty load of bullshit!!!! And they all just nod their heads and take it in as absolute "Twoof"

  I was watching an episode of 'True Detective' last night. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey were at some religious meeting. Their comversation reminded me of what most would say if they attended the KH......

  Mcconaughey....What do think the average IQ of this group is?

  Harrelson.....What do you know about these people?

  Mcconaughey......Just observation and deduction. I see a propensity for obesity. Poverty. A yen for fairy tales. Folks putting what few bucks theyt have into a little wicker basket being passed around. I think it is safe to say nobody here's going to be splitting the atom.

  I think Dawkins is an incredible genius, but he really screwed up on this one.

  Bizarro world conclusion to the 2014 International Convention Public Bible Discourse

  it was entitled earth's new ruler - who really qualifies?

  given by brother mark neumeyer*, "who has been a full-time servant for nearly 35 years, and is a helper of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  " it was his second talk of the convention.

  Lots of things can be guaranteed by studying the Bible with JW's. "You will never regret it", however, is not one of them.
