Disfellowshipped for being complicit in someone else's sin - really?!

by Isambard Crater in

a close friend of mine who is pimo (only staying in for family reasons) in a neighboring congregation called me in tears tonight saying her dad (elder) is telling her he is seriously considering reporting her to her local elders and she could get disfellowshipped.. the reason?

because she is complicit in a gross sin, according to him, by going with her best friend (not a j.w.

) when the friend had an abortion.

Just to note in on this XJW argot word PIMO;
it means Physically In, Mentally Out,
does it not?

Interesting Take on Vows

by konceptual99 in

so yesterday was the wt on vows.. it spoke, in part about two vows.

the vow you make in dedication and the vow of marriage.

here's how it describes them.. the most important vow that a christian can make is the one with which he dedicates his life to jehovah.

Double standards are part and parcel of a WT controlled life.

Excellent topic, K99!

Welcome SK!

Your experience resonates with mine on many points.

Begining of freedom???

by JW-AWAKED J17 in

hello every body!.

it's my thirst time here.

i'm verry glad to tell you my resignation as an elder in my local congregation.

oppostate

It was liberating when I resigned, although it also brought a lot of changes in my relationships and interactions with other JWs. You really get to see what sort of friends you have developed over decades.

It is all about high status within the organization for some and this becomes quite obvious when you step down from responsibilities. Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will gather.

Church turns out to be sex club

by oppostate in

most churches can be thought of as social meeting places, a structure where congregations come together and share a common bond.

a “church” in tennessee, though, has taken togetherness to a whole new level.

nashville authorities say a building registered as a church has actually been hosting late-night swingers parties, where lewd acts have been taking place,.

Fixe os olhos no premio = Keep your eyes on the prize

by oppostate in

"fixe os olhos no premio" = "keep your eyes on the prize".

large screen tv in the background.. reading the bible from a mobile phone.. hand in pocket.. shoes unshined.. pants unhemmed and way too long.. "ontem foi minha primeira parte pela organizacao de jeova" =.

"yesterday was my first part for jehovah's organization".
