It might behoove (is that a word?!) everyone to print off the entire UN site and then print off the entire listing of organizations that belong (which still includes WBTS as of the last 5 mins!) That way, you'll have a printed RECORD of the site, including what involvement meant and that the society was indeed a member. I'm keeping my copy in a safe place : )

Hello Kevin,
I'm one of the new ones here and didn't really know Jon at all... but from reading through all the comments, he was obviously a wonderful person and you were fortunate to have him in your life. I appreciate the fact that he had a great sense of humor... so if he does indeed contact you through John Edwards... please let us know!!! (It would definitely solidify my beliefs!) : ) My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Please visit often.

Language has Gone Downhill in the Society
by dubla inin a recent thread with a "witness" on this forum, i was told that he spent last night with my mother, as she was more than happy to "take it up the ass".
when i replied that my mother had passed on, he continued on with, "i wish i could feel sorry about your mom.
but i dont.

Personally, I've basically stopped all association with the "friends" in the congregation because of their attitudes of "we can do what we want, we're baptized JW's"... their language at times has been attrocious! I have "worldly" friends who have cleaner mouths... and when they don't, they don't feel they're "covered" by their religion!

I'm not one of the "smart" ones about all this... and don't understand lot's of legal issues... but this one has "done it" for me. How can anyone respect the WBTS again? Someone a few days ago said that if they can say: we're now off the list... by-gones! Then they should not be able to disfellowship ANYONE for ANYTHING that they've done if that person says... "well, not doing it anymore!"

Has the WTS ever made a prediction that came true?
by Leander inthis morning a thought occured to me "has the society ever made a prediction or prophecy that has come true"?.
most of us are familiar with the prophecies or dates the wts has emphasized in the past.
of course all of those predictions never proved to be accurate so the question is, "if this is god's prophetic organization where is the proof"?.

Nytel,
you sound very, very angry... and I don't think it's just from this thread or any name-calling either. I was really, really angry all the time too when I was attending all meetings and trying to to EVERYTHING that the WBTS wanted. You should really take a step back and start taking care of yourself. If you are proud that you don't conform and that you don't "run" to the elders, etc., etc... then I hate to tell ya, but you are NOT a true JW. So why keep defending them?

Mr. Moe... we know you're serious... please accept people's faux pas as a reaction to the "times" we're in. Very frightening and I believe people just wanted to know where in the US you were! I do hope all's ok with you and your associates.

Mr. Moe: I hope your boss is ok also! Someone asked this already, but what town/state are you from/in? I did hear about the 2 people in Florida... they both worked for the same newspaper. From what reports I heard, they shut down the Florida Sun and Orlando Sentinal and National Inquirer (all in South Fla). All employees were ordered to local hospitals for tests. (Just in on the radio!) This is too much....

Hey There ! All You Disfellowshipped Ones!
by Englishman inis your anger with the jw religion due mainly to the fact that you have been df'd?
is it possible that persons who post here who are not disfellowshipped can feel as angry as those who are being shunned and who are therefore being effectively gagged?.
is the df'ing policy of the wtbts the main reason that ex-jw's seem to go all out to get other witnesses out of the org?

Hi! I'm not df'd either... still "in"... but I AM angry because the borg : ) makes you and everyone else afraid to even TALK about anything they don't deem appropriate! As soon as I even slightly mention something to any family members... they get all anxious and start talking about "getting help in the form of the elders". Yuk!
