  Disfellowshipped for being complicit in someone else's sin - really?!

  by Isambard Crater in

  a close friend of mine who is pimo (only staying in for family reasons) in a neighboring congregation called me in tears tonight saying her dad (elder) is telling her he is seriously considering reporting her to her local elders and she could get disfellowshipped.. the reason?

  because she is complicit in a gross sin, according to him, by going with her best friend (not a j.w.

  ) when the friend had an abortion.

  Crater, tell your friend not to worry. Even if the fools would start an investigation and committee, let her just appeal and she will be found not guilty.

  No way. Her father is wrong. The "sin" is committed by a wordly person. Compare it to go with a wordly person into a tobaccoshop buying Cigarettes.

  Do JW Public Family Obituary Notices Include Names of Disfellowshipped Family Members

  by steve2 in

  i have read some heart-rending accounts on this forum - and on reddit - of ex-jws not finding out about the deaths of their jw family members - especially elderly fathers or mothers - until sometimes weeks after the deaths, if at all.

  and even then, they learn of the deaths via tersely communicated messages delivered probably due to a skerrick of remaining conscience by the jw-family spokesperson that the "decent" thing is to let the disfellowshipped individual know their own father or mother has died.. a whole range of painful issues are stirred up by that topic alone.

  but it has also raised in my mind other related issues:.

  I disfellowshipped my parents, so did my brother. They ruined our childhood and life untill I was 39 and saw the light. Let them go, I just want the inheritance that's all.

  If a person is transgender and gets saved what will they go to heaven as?

  by Nikorasu95 in

  i know this is a stupid question because the answer is obvious, but if a person was born a male and gets transgender surgery to turn into female will that person go to heaven as a male or female if they died saved?

  i think they will go to heaven with the gender they were born with.

  and i feel sad.

  everything happened so fast, 1999 back from patterson, 2000 inactive and no longer an elder, 2001 smoking everything that planet earth offers, and now in love with a girl for a couple of months.

  i feel sad but liberated.

  Good man as I am, I paid here 500 euros a month, for 12 years. Havent heard everything for years from her. I guess she is inactive...a woman hyperactive, doing 170-180 hours a month in a tropical climate. It's sad but it is how it is.

  No problem Hecce, thanks for your concern.

  When I read strings like this I always wonder where the person is & how are they doing. Thanks so much for checking in here and I'm glad to hear the good report.
  

  Sounds like you spent some time on the wild side after breaking free. How's everything going now?

  Doc

  Hi Doc. Thanks for your good thoughts. I was just reading my old posts. We are still very, very happy. We retired to a tropical island where I once served, happy she is not interested in religion at all, askes me a lot about the bible though. We Are dedicated to literature, nature and the beach. Our daughter starts her studies here...
