  Sitting in the back rule. is not in print anywhere, as far as I can recall. It's one of those rules that came from an Elders school that the Elders had to pencil into the Elder's manual. It came before my time as an Elder. An older Elder showed his book where he had written in his older book. He stated that it was information in the 70's. That book, he showed me, has been revised three times since then. The rule has lasted until now.

  Sitting in the back row for DF'd ones has been a practice in our city for decades.

  FAQ - from the official web site "Do You Shun Former Members of Your Religion"?

  by therevealer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  those who were baptized as jehovah's witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.

  in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest..

  "we reach out to them, and try to rekindle their spiritual interest"

  I suppose this provides an explanation as to why some relatives can continue to meet with relatives that have faded. When they are associating with them, they are simply rekindling their spiritual interest.

  This is showing discrimination, because relatives who are DF'd can't meet, enjoy family trips, socialize, with JW family members. There is no rekindling of their spirituality.

  That is the problem with a higher education with the WT Soc. They will assign you to where they want you to go. They should all of a sudden develop some illness, and bow out.

  well i went to a "special meeting" in the armadillo today where a 2 & 1/2 hour programme was relayed from london at 1pm.

  apparently the letters of invitation only went out a month or so ago and not all congregations were invited.

  there were 2,900 of us from around scotland.

  I always enjoyed David's talks. I wished he was assigned to speak to the Canadian branch. David worked hard in the faith, and lived it. He was really gifted with a photographic memory, and if he had gone into this world to make a make his mark on society, he would of made lots of money. The English branch were priviledged to have him and his wife, Linda.

  you have probably heard that there is a mars expedition that is being planned in 2023 where a permanent human settlement will be established.

  people are applying for the opportunity at http://applicants.mars-one.com/.

  think about it, this might be the one chance we have to leave all the door knocker jw's behind,,,,,,.

  Too late Jo. There is a special Gilead school scheduled to send some Missionaries there.
