Can’t cope with being disfellowshipped…..Need some advice

by xxBettyBoopxx in

this site is great, i have been lurking for a while now.

but i can’t get reinstated and have used some of the advice already given.. i was df’d many months ago and go to all the meetings and do all the preparation for the meetings, but the jc committee keep refusing me.

tomorrow at the clam meeting i am puting yet another letter in and will be called for another dreadful jc meeting.. 1. what can i say to the elders to show that i am truly repentant?.

cofty, what do you recommend for Betty to do? - BRJ

Every exJW should focus of education, career, hobbies, family, friends, fun etc. Leave the big questions aside for long time until you are ready to come back to them much later.

Church is the last thing any exJW needs.

Christ loves...........why do you hate him? - BRJ

I don't hate imaginary things. I oppose people who try to foist their superstitions on other vulnerable people.

the love of Christians is the answer - BRJ

Outside the cult there are many great people who won't judge you for not believing ridiculous things like they do.

You could show a little tiny bit of respect for other people's beliefs occasionally - rebel

I respect others too much to go along with their delusions.

especially when they show up on the forum hurting

Don't worry, I know BettyBoo very well. Church is the last thing she wants.

to save us all a lot of time and effort..... [some complex structure in living organisms described].

[i can't imagine how this could be the product of evolution].

[therefore god created it].

God created us in his image, which would give us his genetic ability

What do you mean by "genetic ability"?

would we not be the creators of life on Mars if we can do that?

No. Why would we engineer new organisms when earth is teeming with millions of species already, many of whom thrive in the most extreme environments?

would not that life no matter how simple be able to become self aware by Darwinist evolutionary theory?

No. Bacteria and archaea have been on earth for 4 billion years. They show no signs of becoming self-aware

he first astronaut to set foot on the planet will be highly evolved life, not microbes, so Darwin's theory is dead at this point.

How did you make that connection? An astronaut goes to Mars and somehow that disproves evolution!

she has a hole in her soul looking for meaning

Do you have a whole collection of those platitudes?

NO BRJ is hijacking the thread by advising an exJW to go to church and find Jesus.

Not going to let that sort of bullshit pass unchallenged ever.

Only if you want to use words carelessly.

Christians believe there is only one god - the god and father of Jesus christ.

Scientists are not gods by any sensible definition of the word.

Jesus will save everyone from becoming a JW, provided that are not conned by the JW's

So will he or won't he?

Were you ever a JW BRJ or did Jesus tell you to come here to preach?

Jesus Christ is very much alive in the homes and hearts of 2.2 billion Christians

Interesting metaphor.

Muhammad is alive in the homes and hearts of 1.6 billion Muslims.

The love that they have for his teachings is as immortal as the Son of God himself

Well I was a born-again, saved, adopted son of god for almost a decade after I left the cult. So it turned out not to be an immortal love.

introduce her to the real Christ that saves people everyday

Saves people from what exactly?

evolution is as far as we know Gods best work

Evolution has no need for a god.

Jesus Christ does not agree with your opinion

Jesus is a pile of dust somewhere in the middle east.

and neither do I.

I don't worry too much about opinions. I am very impressed by verifiable facts if you have any.

Religion should be at the very bottom of anybody's to-do list when they leave the cult.
