  by Jayk in

  1. social
  2. family

  a 1st cousin(a) of mine just called me about one of my great aunts(b) getting reinstated.

  (b) has been disfellowship for as long as i can remember.

  (a) has always stood on the fence with his beliefs.

  I understand how difficult PIMO can be.

  But I think that POMI is on a parallel.

  Maybe even unequivocally worse in some situations.

  Depending on one's programming.

  Why "Removed" instead of "Disfellowshipped or Shunning"

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was mulling this over last night...too much free time, i know.

  both disfellowshipping and shunning indicate the action of avoiding someone, taking them out of your sphere of associates.

  probably is a better sound bite to say "removed.

  JW light Elders?

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many elders are now saying no to pretty much everything.. they are saying no to assignments and away talks.

  saying no to jobs in the cong.

  the cos and the super fine elders are using scripture and the elders manual to try to persuade them to step up.. many are coming off as an elder, but even more are simply saying the cost of living or other reasons they are just finding it hard to fulfill all their assignments.. if you say you want to come off the public talks list altogether they still try putting you down for some and making a fuss saying you have to give some public talks.

  Armageddon 50th Anniversary

  by apostrate in

  1. social
  2. humour

  well, it's been 50 years since armageddon occurred.. seems to me that things haven't really changed all that much.

  is it just me or does anyone else seem to think that things have actually got worse??
