  I hate this religion but I don't want to lose my family.

  friends,.

  as i mentioned in an earlier post, the pictures of the dictators on the wall at the "court" on page 31 of the 2011-03-15 wt, contains great similarities with gb members losch & jackson.

  it seems to be a hidden joke of the brooklyn graphics department.

  Friends,

  As I mentioned in an earlier post, the pictures of the dictators on the wall at the "Court" on page 31 of the 2011-03-15 WT, contains great similarities with GB members Losch & Jackson. It seems to be a hidden joke of the Brooklyn graphics department. Maybe it's a warning sign of someone at the graphics department. For me it's sure, they are Losch & Jackson, they are photoshopped (rotated twice + hair Losch is changed of colour).

  Compare it yourself:

  I walked out of an Elder's Meeting

  well here goes... i apologize in advance if this turns into a long and disjointed rant, but i just have to begin typing in order to keep from exploding.

  i realize that what im about to say could seriously jeopardize my anonymity, but i think ive reached the point that i just dont care.

  i want this to be over.. let me explain what caused me to rip up a letter and get up and walk out in the middle of an elders meeting two weekends ago.. our boe has been embroiled in a nasty fight for the past 2 years over a certain brothers business dealings.

  This reminds me of the story of my father, who was secretary. He told me that the elders at the local elder meetings were so divided, so they were swearing and cursing each other!

  Unbelievable, but true.

  i do not know how the blogger who posted this infamous wt cover (5/15/84) got all the names of those who posed for this magazine cover, or whether the names are even correct, but if he got it right, man, what a provocative statement.. .

  i do feel kinda silly since this is something most people do anyway, you know, it's a regular, ordinary thing to do.... there's the av referendum and the local elections in england.

  i went out this morning and voted.

  it felt so good to have a say, to make my 'voice' heard!

  I voted on the local railroad station (and looked behind my shoulders a few times!!!)

  Today's WT Study Stupidity About Df'ing

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in today's watchtower study, towards the end, you had one of those typical comments by a former df'ed witness expressing appreciation for being shunned.

  these comments always remind me of a stalinist show trial in which the accused enthusiastically accepts being executed for the greater good (probably to save his family).. after this kind of nonsense is expressed, you will get a flurry of self righteous comments emphasizing how important it is to shun your disfellowshipped relatives, so that they can come back in the "truth".. oh, really?

  do any of these people raising their hand realize that, if the "success" of disfellowshipping depends on your shunning, then the "repentant" person is "coming back in the truth" for the sake of their relatives -and not because of fearing jehovah !!!???.

  Lady Viola,

  I did not mean that there are no DF's here, but in The Netherlands most of the family stay in contact with the DF-fellow.

  I see it happen in the congregations and know also that the youth here is very liberal!

  Anouny Mouse, a great posting. I was with my little children in the kitchen of the kingdomhall and heard everything from a safe distance.

  It is all shit.

  Many, many of the JW's in the Netherlands don't DF their family. We are here very liberal. We hate DF.
