  HELP! Good Friend just told she is being disfellowshipped!!

  hey... a good friend of mine was visited by 2 elders this evening..and after being treated like something you wouldn't want on your shoe...told her that her parents can no longer have anything to do with her 9 year old boy.

  he is not baptized.. her dad is an elder and mum a long standing publisher...can they really insist that the grandparents ignore the child??

  they babysit for him when she's at work...she would have to leave her job, and she lives in their house too..although they live elsewhere...her dad is researching this as he is obviously curious as to whether this is scriptural.

  i read these on the christian witness site....are they for real???!!!.

  what rules bethelites have to agree to"''"the following was overheard on rick fearons phone conference of september 11, 2010, but i think at least one rule was left out and number 12 is lacking some wording.

  the group listening laughed at number 11. insightful.. .

  it's funny the things you find out about the young ones in the cong..isn't it??

  there are so many stories, and i mean true stories.

  it baffles the mind as to how they get away with it for so long.

  Kids TV programmes (England and Ireland only sorry) that were on in the 70's and early 80's

  i am trying to remember a kids programme that was on while i was a wee thing during the 70's... now i was only born in '68, so i guess it would be late 70's early 80's.

  i remember bears, and animation, but i don't think cartoon.

  anyway, please can anyone list their favourite british kids programmes during these times and hopefully i will get an epiphany!

  Ex-Witnesses in Ireland...

  hey there....i've been noticing that there are quite a few support groups in other countries for those who leave the 'truth'.

  i am appealing to those who are in the emerald isle to see if there is any chance we can get together and enjoy 'real' association, being of same minds etc.

  anyway... i will put this out there and hopefully those in ireland will get in touch and we can support each other!

  Helping others

  i have recently become aware of many inconsistencies that we teach as jw's and it has really distressed me.

  a few from our cong here in ireland get together and discuss the real truth from the bible.

  we were wondering teh best road to go down to help others find out thetruth, without being labelled as apostates, esp at assemblies etc.
