  I don't think I will be able to escape the JWs ...

  by nevaagain in

  2. friends

  i know i will get a lot of backslash on this forum for saying this, but as it looks like, i won't ever be able to escape the jws.

  i have been a born in, third generation jw and awoken in one way or another (i joined this forum 15 years ago) for a very long time.

  but i have adapted to the jw lifestyle to a point where it does not bother me anymore.

  Appealing a DF decision

  by HereIgo in

  i always found it interesting that one could appeal a disfellowshipping....if jehovah doesn't make mistakes, then there wouldnt be a need to "appeal" anything to begin with right?.

  @sir82 and Village idiot. ....you are wrong in this case, I have been for many years on AC's and many of the cases the dfs were rejected. Makes sense because you must be pretty convinced to be treated wrong before you take the step to appeal.

  Brooklyn Heights. 300+ publisher and 30+ elders. You could hardly read the Watchtower on sundays.

  The Anointed Class: Do They Have Spirits?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i realize that the anointed class inherits heaven while the great crowd inherits a renewed planet earth, but how and when are the anointed chosen?

  are these people born with spirits or do they grow them as they live?

  when they die, they don't sleep but go right to heaven, right?

  When they commit a serious sin they get reproved or dfd, in that case there are only 143999. When that person is replaced by another anointed and the dfd returns to the organisation there are 144001. Funny he?

  or do they stay at hotels?

  do most jws know who's on the governing body?

  if one just showed up at church would he be immediately recognized?

  How many times are topics like this one being opened, with the same BS of people who even havent met a member of the GB. Ridiculous.

  To all former Elders – what are your thoughts

  by Tallon in

  if you were part of a judicial committee, and knowing what you know now, what was it like for you to sit on jc’s?

  how did you feel if someone was reproved or df’d?

  were you ever on a jc and you disagreed with someone being reproved or df’d and were overruled – how did you feel?

  I have been on maybe more than a hundred jc's as a missionary in a country with many problems, also on appeal committees for years.

  I didnt give a sh#t df someone when we were really convinced that that was the right decision.

  The only moment I was really upset when we should have df a missionary sister but were told by the BC not to do so because of the name of JW in that town.

  Why are you so keen on meeting a member of the GB? Just don't get it, little teenager behaviour. Anyway, you won't get into where they work or live and they are just regular guys, and yes Village they do their own shopping. I have met Losch several times in the local liquor store next to the Bossart where we both lived.
