  If we just suddenly start talking to DFed people again and use the Canada court video as our argument, what would happen?

  the jw lawyer clearly stated that disfellowshipping only applies to spiritual association, but everyday family contact is ok..

  I have heard that same line before. Sister screws anyone with a penis. They all get df. She gets reinstated each time. Elders say God was using her to clean out the org. Wtf

  Which Things Did Your Overzealous Parents Ban?

  we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?

  mine did.

  my mum tended to copy whatever the elders wives were doing and took it to the extreme.

  Never understood why I couldn't get involved in school sports because it would mean association with worldly kids. But I could do the science Olympiad which involved association with worldly kids. I guess sports were mentioned at meetings but 'science Olympiad' wasn't

  i began studying in high school, got baptized and my family fortunately did not.

  Agree with so many of the comments.

  I just left, one meeting there, the next not. No conversations about doubts.

  Now if i see any of the jws in the small town i live they treat me like Im df'd or have a contagious disease or something. Over the past few months i have seen 2 different sisters at the grocery store and the post office. I smiled and said hi as i passed. Each one physically turned their head away as if they didnt see me.

  It may be hard at first, or hurt. But its great now, i know who my real friends are.

  Faded for almost 10 years and still getting random calls

  hi all, just wondering if anyone is in the same boat.

  wifey and i dropped off the face of the jw planet almost a decade ago and still get 3 or 4 visits a year mostly when we are not dressed or expecting visitors.

  it's really annoying because we are both wondering why they don't get the hint already.. we don't want to move because we really enjoy where we live and both have careers that keep us in the area.. i've asked politely that they stop calling but like the "godfather" they keep "pulling me in.".

  My situation is similar to jp1962. Just left. I wasnt an elder or ms, but was territory servant, sound etc, and one of the main people for upkeep on the hall.

  One visit in 2 years. There was a mag left in my door once. No note, just an old awake. Think it may have been from a family member still in since it was on my side door, not front. Or maybe, i heard they closed the hall in the next town over and it might have been one of those that dont know i live there.

  Any way, a simple 'no jw' sign should fix your issue

  JW.ORG turning into an evangelical clone

  i clicked this link to the november 2017 tvjw video, in it they defend their 2 witness policy, though, gutlessly, they do not mention it in the context of child sexual abuse.. anyway, check out the christian jehovian song at 57:06, ugh, makes me nauseous.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksz0qiftsok&feature=youtu.be&t=53m25s.

  Yea, they brag about how many hits and views they get.

  While I was in, one elder gave a part and listed how much traffic was on jw web site.

  After the meeting I asked him if he checked the website site daily, yup. And so are X# of other jws. So that means only x# of public is hitting the web site daily, nothing to brag about in a world of 8 billion people.

  (Sorry, don't remember the exact numbers)

  The part even mentioned "we have ip address from Antarctica viewing the site".

  Sat there thinking it would be fun if I knew how to bounce my IP address, to make it show up from the space station or Mars or the moon and wait to hear that on the next "how far reaching our web site is" talk

  Living with non belivers

  by Blade666 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my question is can you as a jw live on same premises as a non jw.... in split house/property with no sexual relations or anything involved... i am being forced to move due to a "sister" wanting to go back to her god and has made the point of saying she cannot have a male around.

  even though the property itself is split with seperate access for both parts of the house.. she has put a blanket rule out saying the whole property itself... doesnt make sense to me nor to any of the elders i have spoken to regarding the matter.. yes i called them as i know next to nothing about the faith.. .

  i find it strange that two elders urge a non jw to seek justice from fair trading and rental tribunal as they themselves do not belive the actions of the "sister" in question or her family to be correct or right... .

  My first apartment at 18years old and a pioneer jw was a large old house converted into apartments. One common entrance and hall and stairway. I had 2 rooms and a bathroom. College girls across the hall.

  No problem with any Jw.
