Is it true? Heard a rumor WT postphones Disfellowshipping until further notice!!??
by Olivia Wilde ini am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.
i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.
has anyone else heard anything like this recently?

I have a friend who is still known as an active witness yet has posted youtube videos on her facebook of ex-jw's videos on how to leave the Jehovah's witness organization and the ARC covering of Jeffrey Jackson's testimony.
My friend has also revealed by phone to inquiring elders that she had doubts about the organizations and she said they wrote a letter to the society asking what to do about her questions and if they should disfellowship her.
She said that the elders received a response back from the society telling them to WAIT and not pursue the matter. The elders demanded however that she stopped posting videos and take the current ones on her page down.
This has me thinking that they could be taking a more laxed approached to some degree, depending on your local BOE.
I know it is well known in my area that I have apostate leanings or quite frankly am an apostate but no further action has been taken towards me either. YET

Suicide or Real Freedom? - My Story As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses
by dubstepped in"sometimes i think the only thing i could do that wouldn't upset someone would be to kill myself.".
those were the frustrated words of my friend as we stood out in his large yard in the country, just about to enjoy a nice bonfire on a beautiful night.
what was it that could have been a lesser evil than killing himself?

On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel ini am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.
i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.
it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

Hello everyone!
by Planetsmashers inive been lurking for a while and finally got around to registering.
about me: i was essentially born in & indoctrinated from youth.
i was always a borderline "bad association" type because i always did the minimum and always disagreed with much of what was taught; even when i was a child.. luckily for me my father was never a jw so i never had to endure the male head pressure.
