by Solace1998 init was a shock to many when i was df'ed -- .
but i found afterwards, many did not want to obey the arrangement... one sister cornered me at a local supermarket, and made sure everything was okay with me, and if i ever needed someone to talk to, that she and her hubby were available... .
there is more to this, but another sister i worked with was quite ardent about talking to me about much more than just work .

JWs - the Next Generation
by Olin Moyles Ghost inmy peer group (post-1975 born-in jws) seems to approach the jw religion in a different manner than earlier generations.
now, these folks still believe the wts is "the truth" and if you say anything that sounds "apostate" they start freaking out.
but, make no mistake, these jws are not your parents' witnesses.

yes, this is the one that mentioned you could very well say hello or carry a small conversation with a dfed person...
I brought that up to an elder recently and he was quite astounded. I had to reference it for him to believe me. -

what about the scriptures and reasonings used by the WTS to show it is scriptural (corinthians, john, etc)
i mean, a guy was put out of the corinth congregation no?
and then basically it said not to say a greeting to those ... what was it? not teaching the christ?
i dont think its right either... im just wondering. -

Some questions about WT sources
by witnessgirl insomething has been bugging me for years and years, and always bugged me when i was an active witness.
i've never mentioned it before and i've never seen it discussed.
like with a lot of other matters, i just assumed that this meant that i was missing something that everyone else understood.

Labeling people "worldly"
by JimmyPage inby using the label "worldly" the wt shortchanges people.
the same people it quotes as authorities in its magazines can also be easily dismissed if their opinion disagrees with the wt viewpoint by simply stating that after all, those persons are "worldly".
but those who use this term also shortchange themselves.

Is There ANYTHING More Monotonous Than Living As A JW?
by minimus ini look back and think of how mindless, boring and dumb it all was.
.
i think of having to sit at mind numbing meetings, bored to tears, making believe i was enjoying the fine spiritual banquet.. i think of how we used to drive around in "service" looking for nothing to do----just so that we could put our time in---hoping that no one was home.. everyone had to conform to direction and whims of elders or the society.. i am soooooooooo glad i'm out!.
