Elder's Manual Question
by satinka inmy youngest brother is the family jw patriarch, and an elder, maybe even the po in a small northern town.
in an email i asked him if he ever hears from my kids.
i happen to know he lives in the same small town as my son, who might very well be an elder, too...by now.

3. Actions that may indicate disassociation indude the following:
• Making known a firm decision to be
known no longer as one of Jehovah's Wit nesses. If the individual is agreeable, the com mittee should first try to speak with him and provide spiritual assistance. (GaL 6:1) Does he really desire to disassociate himsel , or does he simply no longer want to associate actively with the congregation? Is the desire to disassociate prompted by doubts or discouragement? If he is adamant in his position, he should be encour aged to put his request in writing and sign it. If he does not, then the witnesses to his request should prepare a statement for the confidential files and sign i t.6.
If members of the congregation are known to have undue association with disfellowshipped or disassociated relatives who are not in the household elders should counsel and reason with those members of the congregation from the Scriptures. R eview with them information from the "God/s LoveN book, pages 207-208; The Watchtower of April 15 1 988, pages 26-30; or the article "Display Christian Loyalty When a Relative Is Disfellowshipped" in the August 2002 Our Kingdom Ministry. If it is clear that a Christian is violating the spirit of the disfellowshipping decree in this regard and does not respond to counsel, it may be that he would not qualify for congregation privileges, which require one to be exemplary. He would not be dealt with judically unless there is persistent spiritual association or he openly criticizes the disfellowshipping decision.

My cousin got reinstated, guess who wrote the letter?... take that Jehovah!
by cyberjesus inlast year my cousing got dfd.... he continued practicing his "sin" for 4 months... i spoke online with him during that year and since he was able to listen after our chats he opened his eyes regarding the cult, he lost faith in the bible and "thank god" he lost him.. however he needed to go back since his wife is still in and his children were shunning him a little.
he is extremely shy so he asked for helped.
i told him that if he needed to go back he could do it within a year, that those suckers all they needed was a good a$$ kissing.

Are women more spiritual then men?
by jam inbefore you women jump all over me, this is just a observation.. first of all at least in this country women out number men in religion,.
across the board,(jw,s,baptist, catholic etc.
) you walk in any church.

Women do more meaningful work in creating society than men ever will.
They nourish, nurture and inform the next generation which will, one day, rule the world one generation at a time.
Terry . . .
Why then do we have a "male-dominated power structure"? . . . . just asking
