How do you Spell Disfellowshipped?
by RayPublisher inthe reason i ask, is that if you search the wt publications, you will see that it is spelled with only one "p" over 600 times, but also spelled with two "p"s 600 times.. .
very confusing!
any linguistic experts out there that know which it should be?.

IS GOD REAL? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
by still thinking inthis is an honest question on my part.
someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.
in fact, it was a turning point for me.

mP: It was hard to "avoid the JW's from the start." I was born in.

Palmtree...is it possible it was your subconscience pushing you because you knew something wasn't right?
Yes, that's very possible. And not something I haven't considered. I just have never felt a need to define those experiences.
Whatever it was, I pay attention to those "leanings".

At the risk of sounding insane, I'll tell you why I said earlier that I feel like I was "led" out of the JW's......
For many years, I would occassionally wake up for weeks at a time at the same time every morning - 6:07 am. Look at the clock and go back to sleep....
When I was first df'ed, I was desperate to get back in. But with time on my hands, I decided to research some of the teachings, etc that I never really had time to do before.
I knew there was controversy over 607 vs. 586 BCE and it was the first thing I wanted to put to rest in my mind.
Well, I did. And finding out the truth about that set me mentally free from the JW's very quickly.
Since settling that issue in my mind, I no longer experience that waking up at 6:07 am for weeks at a time.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen.

I also look to see if my act or word comes from a place of love and/or mercy. If I am being self-serving, or serving others. A good test is also the golden rule.
There are many non-believers who live their life with exactly those same values.

The comment that I made is aimed at anyone, everyone, and in general. Believer/non-believer alike.
If you know he is real, does that mean you know what he wants? If you know what he wants, does that mean you're going to agree and do what he wants?
Does proof that God is real tell you which version of Him is real?
I just notice that whenever someone claims to know what God wants, their version of what God wants seems to coincide with their own desires and what THEY want.

The elders want to see me also
by MsGrowingGirl20 ini mentioned a few times,that in terms of making my time for the past few months have been really difficult.simply because i cant teach something i don't fully believe...so my service has gone down,i used to comment a lot--haven't done that in a while----meeting attendance like normal but now i don't stay back after...or come early...or help with cleaning..... .
so some weeks ago the cobo asked me a completely irrelevant and in no way helpful question---"you did't think that i notice how upset you look these days----that's not a fruitage of god's spirit!".
yeah so today he saw me and asked me a series of question....all which i gave really short answers to...long story short--he says that he would like for me to meet wih the rest of the elders after memorial........ .

Tell them you're not feeling well lately, maybe a touch of depression and that you need some time.
Thank them for their concern and remind them that you know you can always call on them if you need anything.
Don't talk about anything with them just yet.
Good luck, dear.

When my aunt who was born and raised in Mississippi refers to a mango, she means a green pepper,
I worked with an Aussie girl and she called green peppers "capsicums"
