I know a temporary CO. I wonder if his part-time, short working year may be a contributing factor?

disfellowshipping
by ex-chum intypically is there a limit to the number of disfellowships a person can receive before they're "out"?
i'm specifically referring to my ex, who has a marriage/relationship that results in a babyx2.
she just mentioned that it was harder to get back into good graces this last time.

I know of someone who has been disfellowshipped four (4) times but I have no idea why or if it was for the same kind of problem. He is now reinstated and apparantly doing well in the congregation.
Jesus did say about forgiving 7 or 77 times!

Questions for BANE, SCHOLAR, and All Jehovah's Witnesses!
by UnDisfellowshipped inyou don't have to answer all of them at once.
i would be happy to see your answers to any of these questions.. remember, the inspired apostle peter gave this direction in the holy scriptures: "always [be] ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect.
" (1st peter 3:15).

Maybe these questions should relace the baptism questions in the Organized book!

Education Flip Flop
by hoser ini finished reading god's word for us through jeremiah and found this interesting quote on page 45 par 7:.
"for example a man might reason, i have to hold down a job to support my family, which is understandable.

Because the GB and members of the writing committee haven't a clue about the real world! They do not have to worry about income, paying the gas bill, electricity bill, community tax etc etc. They are institutionalised.
I think every 10 years they ought to be put out into the real world for a year, told to get a job, find accommodation, do their own shopping, laundry, cleaning and then study up and get along on the bus to the meeting.
Maybe then they would wake up to the realities of a worthwhile education, if they survived that long.

How often does a Wt song run through your head
by Lady Lee inyesterday i was sitting here and all of a sudden realized i was humming one of those dreadful songs.
i even remembered the words!
<chills>.. so i sat here and started singing other songs out loud, which i normally don't do even though i live alone and don't have to listen to people begging me to stop singing.. so how do you get those songs out of your head?.

In 50 or 100 years from now if you show that video they will shrug their shoulders and say the light is a lot brighter now!
It will have no more significance to them than 19th century pyramidolgy teachings do today.

Observations since the book study arrangement finished
by truthseeker indoes anyone have any interesting observations since the book study arrangement in private homes finished?.
are jws happier with the extra night off?
do they miss the book study?

St George of England
Most JW's I know really miss the Book Study on Tuesday. We had an afternoon study, mainly for the retired, and after the study we had tea, coffee, cakes etc and for an hour or so sat around and relaxed and chatted.
I think it was the relaxed chatting that is the danger. Encourage too many people to start and think.
