  recently...my nephew confided that he doesn't want to go to the meetings anymore.

  he told his parents.

  reply from dad - typical party line - "live in our house - attend the meetings - or leave".

  Thinking about the "two witnesses" rule for disfellowshipping -

  by JWoods in

  it just occurred to me that very possibly the jws are violating their own rule of "two witnesses" to convict a member of sin.. they have also long held the rule that if a man and a woman spend the night alone, this is evidence of adultery - but are there really two witnesses to adultery?

  at the most, it would mean that there could have been two witnesses that they stayed under one roof for the night - not necessarily that they did the deed.

  i personally know of certain cases where people have been dfd on this kind of "evidence" even when they protested that no sex took place.. what it made me think about is the greatly restrictive rule on proof of child molestation - here it is practically impossible to obtain their standard of "two witnesses" - in this case, the witnesses have to effectively observe the actual act of molestation.. is this a double standard?

  i was curious to read what you have achieved and accomplished since leaving the watchtower society?.

  in your opinion are you heading toward the success of your goals?.

  personally i am determined to have something near the life i was meant to have before the watchtower organization got a hold of my mind and bent it towards their own purposes and uses.. i think many here would be overjoyed to hear of your successes!.

  allow me a moment to introduce myself: first of all, i am not a member of your faith as surely can be garnered from my choice of user name.

  i joined this forum with the intention of getting some information on a situation i'm forced to contend with that concerns my son.

  my questions are not designed to bash your beliefs, regardless of my personally held opinions and i hope that any discussion can be conducted without contention.

  by liz_south in

  so... if there's anyone from bethel or an elder who could comment on this question i would appreciate it.

  i am beyond understanding this..... my sister's daughter - (my neice - not a jw) is getting married to a young man (not a jw) in a few weeks.. her dad is df'd - so is our brother.. apparently my other sister and her "elder" husband can attend the wedding if the bride's df'd father is in attendance but not if her df'd uncle (our brother) is there.. please.... i just don't get it!!!!

  there's df'd and then more df'd????
