  some months ago i took my annual vacation to the land of kangaroos--you know--where men are men and sheep are skittish?

  as a social commentator i have a vested interest observing cultural changes and trends, etc.

  in the professions and trades in oz the genders dress as androgynous as their counterparts in the us.

  My name is Jonathan.
  I have a problem.
  When I was 21 I left the org. Since that time I've made a new life. I graduate university next year, and plan on moving overseas to work and live with my girlfriend. So far so good, right? Well almost. You see, my whole family are very active Witnesses. When I left, I just wanted to live a happy life, which meant falling off the face of the planet for the last 7 years. Now, my parents are really old, and I'm not sure how much time we have left. I sense that they, as well as my older brother and sister, want to get closer. I feel a glimmer of hope. However, I still have a lot of mixed/highly unpleasant/want to vomit feelings about their beliefs. I'm also angry that we've never had the opportunity to have an open forum disscussion about Witnesses. I mean, how can we get past this? In effect, they are praying every day for our deaths! This is driving me nuts! Any ideas?

  just a quick question.

  i was wondering what the technical difference between a df and and apostate is from a jw perspective.

  is there ever a point of no return according to current jw doctrine?

  Thank you all for the replys! Sorry about the double post (new member learning the ropes).
  One question- Matty, you said
  "the GB can't make up their mind from one year to the next."
  does this mean that the rules on apostacy have changed? Thanks-
  *By the way,if your curious, I have no intention of going back!

  An open letter to Aanonymous

  by Faraon in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  today i received the following email from noname.

  i know it had to be from someone in this forum because i only use this yahoo email for our forum and for a spanish forum.

  since the letter is in english, and it is a very bad english, i can only assume that the person who wrote it either holds an ed.d.

  Hello all!
  Just a quick question. I was wondering what the technical difference between a DF and and apostate is from a JW perspective. Is there ever a point of no return according to current JW doctrine? I know a DF person can be reinstated if they go through the appropriate channels- can asomeone labeled an apostate also be reinstated/saved at 'armagedon'if they also go through those channels (complete repentace, etc)? Any info/links would be of great help. Thanks again! -J
