I just had a short notice visit from a YOUNG "ELDER"!

he left about an hour ago,.... he called me on his way here to let me know he was " just stopping by to say hello",.... i did'nt have time to "prepare" what to say to him,...he is only 26 years of age, so i thought it would just be an easy ride for me.... i have'nt been to the meetings in 2 months.. i made sure we don't even get to talk about wbts or jehovah.. i almost offered him a beer.. do you think he is going to report me to the boe for not having a "spiritual conversation" with him?.

are they going to mark me?.

Is DISFELLOWSHIPPING being phased out?

i have an elder friend who is 'open-minded', so to say...he tells me what gets discussed at elder meetings, even though he does'nt give too much detail.. he says that they were instructed by the society not to hurry df'ing publishers, that they should try to reproof (1 timothy 3: 16,17) a sinner,,..that they should be a little considerate bearingf in mind that we are living in critical times of the end.. .

personally i know a few publishers(baptized or not) who now have children out of wedlock, and they were just "marked" or had privileges taken away..... the reason given is: "they realised that they have sinned, and they are fully repented, they gave enough evidence to jc that they want to be known as jw's".

now my question is : are they slowly doing away with the df'ing doctrine?.

Why do JW's hate EX-JW'S more than WORLDLIES?
by african GB Member in
1. jw
2. friends
do they feel intimidated by the fact that ex-jw's know all about the way they function as an organization?

(well except what happens at the "back room" and at gb decision making meetings)..... is it because they can still "catch" worldlies?.

...or is it because ex-jw's could poison those still in "the truth"?.
