  it seems my friend stepped in to help his daughter out of an abusive relationship with her boyfriend.

  the crime?

  his daughter is disfellowshipped.

  JWoods.................

  I was removed because I was "not conducting a family study as often enough as the body felt I should have". They believed that if you conducted a family study often enough, you wouldn't have family problems. If you did, you weren't conducting it " often enough".

  The CO disagreed with the body but it didn't matter. They were ruthless and vindictive and wanted me out. The CO was powerless.

  So don't kid yourself. If you get in the wrong situation, and a BOE is lopsided in power, you're toast.

  Did You Exit the Witnesses Due to Injustices / Difference with Doctrine-Both?

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  many of us leave due to injustices committed inside the organization.

  i did initially.

  i had doubts about some doctrines for years - but not until after leaving the witnesses was i free to be able to confirm my suspicions and see that yes, i did have valid reasons to have doubts all those years .

  i know a lot of people were upset when mash ended.

  i never was a big fan of the show, probably because it was on a meeting night, but it was a very popular show.. i loved hill street blues, taxi, all in the family, the rifleman, even superman!

  i wished those shows never stopped!.

  I know a woman who was removed for using the "f" word under extreme circumstances. She is about 76 yrs old and said it was the first time in her life she ever uttered the word.

  Too bad the circumstances couldn't be taken into consideration and let it go. But nooooooooooo.

  JW friends who do bad things............(Counsel them)

  JW friends who don't listen to your "friendly" counsel.............(rat on them to the elders who will haul them before a JC)

  Well, I can't believe they really think this works in developing a loving atmosphere that fosters true friendship.

  Me, I don't have too many "friends" at the KH. Now, I watch my back.

  Will Michael Jacksons Mom be DF'd ???

  jackson family to host first christmasmichael jackson's family is to hold christmas celebrations for the first time this year (09) - putting their own religious beliefs aside for the superstar's three children.. the jacksons were all brought up as jehovah's witnesses, a christian-based religion which does not recognise birthdays or christmas.

  but the thriller hitmaker deviated from his family's belief system and always enjoyed the holiday season with prince michael, 12, paris, 11, and seven-year-old prince michael ii.

  and family matriarch katherine jackson, who has full custody of the kids, is determined to put their former traditions aside in december (09) to keep the youngsters' lives as normal as possible.

  Question.............................

  If you are legally married but maintaining separate households, doesnt that make each the head of each household?

  That would blow Katherines submissive role crap and liable for decisions she makes living in her home.
