  Disfellowshipping - How long to return?

  by CaptK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anybody know how long it takes for one to get re-instated if you are not that well liked by the body of elders?

  i was disfellowshiped for immorality almost 2 years ago.

  with my job and attending college to keep in step with my field of work, i have only been attending the sunday talk & wt meeting every week.

  You had sex with someone. What's immoral about that? You broke a Watchtower rule and they threw you out.
  
  Why would you want to go back at all? Get out and discover life without the burden of guilt imposed upon you by the JW (or for that matter, any other) religion. And have sex with whoever you want.

  Critical thinking - Alternative Explanations

  by Noumenon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ignored explanations of the phenomenon in question.

  in many situations it is tempting to believe that because an explanation is consistent with the known facts it must therefore be the correct explanation.

  this is especially tempting when the particular explanation is the on which we would most like to be true (egs, jesus returned in 1914. the gentile times start in 607ce.

  Hey Noumenon,
  
  Are you a skeptic (like me)?

  Darwin Fish

  by Panda in

  2. experiences

  many christians today use the fish symbol on their vehicles etc to show that they are christian .

  (despite the actual pagan origination of said fish)?

  well then came along the fish w/ "darwin" written in the center and the fish had legs.

  Caspian,
  
  I'd be more worried that your life can be summed up by a Robbie Williams song.
  
  Now that *is* sad. :-)

  Did Beck-Melbourne ever give a reason for her sabbatical from the forum? Maybe because she's a Kiwi and it was just too much WORK for her???

  Oi, watch the rude Kiwi comments please. :-)

  Has the Watchtower infiltrated JWD?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  do you think that at least one active person on this board is working for the watchtower and trying desperately to get information on people here?

  do you know who you can really trust on this site, or is everyone a potential watchtower spy?

  It seems to be Minimus and JH who start most of the "question" threads. They must have quite an extensive database on us all by now.

  The funniest post in the thread is joy2befree worrying that the Aussies might be offended. LOL.
