  disfellowshipped family and friend being reinstated

  by Together in

  2. experiences

  new to the forums and looking for someone who may have had a similar experience.

  i have been disfellowshipped going on 30 years now.

  within those thirty years i have built myself a life and slowly learned to cope with the shunning from family and friends.

  Hi Together,

  I dont have any advise for you but just reading this thread makes me think you are the best of the bunch. It is their loss.

  i'm leaving this site forever

  2. humour

  as the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.

  dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.

  so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.

  The story of a secret Apostate Anointed

  the remarkable sister pettifog.

  this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early, before the intensity of the texas sun boiled to full blaze rendering me a soggy, wrung out mess.. i took up my perch on the outdoor patio in the shade, eager to work on my book of short stories.

  this will be my 3rd book and i’ve been enjoying the process daily.. .

  You did do a good job building the anticipation and giving solid background!

  I have thought about this story a lot since I read it yesterday. I think other than the sheer serendipity of it which is compelling in its own right, I am made hopeful by the fact that an older person saw through them.

  So many times we have hope for the young ones but I have older ones I wish could break free also and I think this created hope by example!

  instead i would rather spend my days picking fresh cherries from a tree, in fact i am having so much fun i have got the whole family involved, and the freezer is full of red berries, black currents, and today is more strawberry picking.

  i have also gone to a farm and made my own yummy honey.. anyway have you been berry picking?

  do you have any ideas how i can really enjoy my fresh goodies?

  Cute title!

  I love the berries of summer too.

  Cherries are a great anti- inflammatory food eaten raw.

  For blueberries and blackberries, when they get ahead of me, I like to make cobblers.

  BASIC FRUIT COBBLER

  4 cups of fruit, 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup self rising flour, 1/1/2 cups of sugar (divided so you save 1/2 cup) 1 cup of milk.

  Melt butter in a 2 quart baking dish, stir together flour and 1 cup of sugar mix well. Add milk. Pour into the butter and stir gently. Add the 4 cups of fruit that have been tossed with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar do not stir bake at 375 for about 40 minutes till it's a golden brown.

  The crust will rise by it's self that 's why you don't mix it.

  Pokemon GO Witnessing - Gotta Catch 'em All !

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. humour

  news just in .... as part of an effort to try and get youths enthusiastic about the kingdom ministry service, the watchtower is releasing it's own "pokemon go" style app which will allow anyone with a mobile phone to rush around the neighbourhood looking for an "interested person" who they can scan and collect.. they think the popularity may even spur pioneers to move faster than shuffling pace in some extreme cases.. when asked if this was just some kind of cheap gimmick designed to distract people from the fact that the religion never delivered on any of it's more important promises, a spokesman for the watchtower said "so?".

  we asked whether it was a good idea to allow elders in the local hall to track the whereabouts of possibly unaccompanied minors and the spokesman replied "oh shiiiiiiit !!!

  ".

  Thats funny!

  The day was, I would have known it was tongue in cheek. Now....I had to read it twice and think....this could be possible soon? LOL

  I put nothing past them these days!

  As a side note, I spent 3 hours playing "Pokemon Go" on Sunday with a 13 year old, It really is a lot of fun.

  This is one remarkable story. Wow. Just amazing.

  I cant imagine how it must make you feel Terry, seeing as you lived it and directly knew her.

  It is so encouraging to think that an older persons mind can still function in a way that they will be true to themselves when faced with the dishonestly that is the Organization.

  Why JW's Rave So Much About Conventions

  "it was so beautiful, we are truly blessed!

  now, they also plaster these affirmations all over social media, "this is the best life", “so blessed”, “best convention”.. why the gushing?

  have you ever heard anyone say, “mmmm it was ok”?

  It took me years to figure out the warm wonderful feeling I had after a convention was really relief that it was over!

  What a great story!

  I remember that movie "Billy Jack" as a young impressionable kid. I thought he was awesome...a real hero!

  "Listen, children, to a story

  That was written long ago,
  'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
  And the valley-folk below."
