  Even if you lose the appeal I think there is another chance to appeal

  Hoser is right. They will not inform you of this second appeal right. You have to request it in writing.

  
  

  As for the initial appeal..... If I understand it right, the instructions to the appeal committee are to ONLY overturn the original committees decision to disfellowship if proper procedure was not followed.

  
  

  That extremely limits the grounds for an appeal and makes it less likely that an original decision will be overturned.

  
  

  I am sorry for your stress poopie. Add me to the list of people who support you.

  Suicide or Real Freedom? - My Story As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by dubstepped in

  "sometimes i think the only thing i could do that wouldn't upset someone would be to kill myself.".

  those were the frustrated words of my friend as we stood out in his large yard in the country, just about to enjoy a nice bonfire on a beautiful night.

  what was it that could have been a lesser evil than killing himself?

  Dubstepped, I dont know how I didnt see your story until now but Im so glad I got to read it.

  Following you through your younger years up to now was a powerful and very moving experience.

  I hope this thread stays near the top so new people coming to this forum can read it and find comfort and hope in your words like I did.

  In the interest of accuracy, wasnt Herd quoting someone when he made that statement?

  Not that he should be released in any way from his head shaking ignorance but some of you here may be in the same position I am in. I am in the position of having to make sure any statement I make to my "still in" family members is beyond them being able to take any issue with.

  If I make a powerful statement and attribute it wrongly, the answer back is "you didnt even have your facts straight" and they brush off everything on that "technicality".

  It is on that basis that I am taking this statement by Herd slowly. If this is not a quote on his part - my apologies.

  Ironic Day Text from Mon., Nov. 23/15 about helping others....

  by Muddy Waters in

  2. beliefs

  we've had a few threads these past couple days about how the wt does not take care of its own, how there's no love in the congregations, how they do no charitable works (supposedly because they don't want to produce "rice christians"), and how they believe that in these last days, the literature is the most important thing people need today, this wonderful life-saving spiritual food.... right?

  well, take a look at this recent day text:.

  - from examining the scriptures daily - monday, november 23, 2015 - .

  More regurgitated nonsense.

  It was years before I realized they dont actually write the daily texts. They are simply cut and paste snippets from Watchtowers of the year before.

  Everyone knows that, right?

  I am probably the only one who never realized....

  Lovely use of the word kerfuffle Lisa Rose!

  You all are creating some beautiful images of the wildlife in your areas.

  Wild turkeys here for me.

  if this article is correct, (american) thanksgiving's origins have several things j-dubs love.

  the xian god.

  genocide of nonbelievers that included men, women and children alike.

  Perhaps because they didnt think of it first?

  Cant control people with it?

  Cant market it?

  Any of the above?

  Splane is evidently plagiarizing a chart I made a couple of years ago and posted here on JWN after the release of the Watchtower, January 15, 2014:

  
  
  

  Oh I think this is exactly what they used....

  some erstwhile GB "helper" surfing this site and copying your work and presenting it....the GB heaving sighs of relief because your chart was a "godsend" (dare I say??? lol)

  So Oubliette, would you get to work on something to explain why/how they have used/lost all the money?

  Im sure they would be ever so appreciative.

  If I cared enough, it would be interesting to see if the word "generation" was many times used with the qualifier "wicked".

  That sounds like it would be more of a Matthew - John concept using the words of Jesus .

  Eccl. 1:4 mentions a generation used in the regular context and I am thinking many other versus do too.

  Dont Give Them More Power Than They Deserve

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.

  dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.

  we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.
