I have to be in the Los Angeles area for several months .... I attended KHs there from 1969 - 1981 It would be great to find some old friends who "ARE NOT" with the organization.

why are so many of us hung up on the fact that we are disfellowshiped or disassociated .... this crazy organization that we all use to belong to is nothing more then a human board game like monopoly and these old guys (angels in the flesh) make up the rules as time goe's on, it brings chills down my back when i recall how my father would say "the faithfull and discreet slave" as if these guys are stuck away in some most holy room in bethel in the very presence of god in order to uptate his world wide organization of a new or revised rule.
being df myself means just about as much to me as the rule that who ever lands on free parking gets all the money ... all it is is a rule that a bunch of old guys (now dead) agreed on years back.
as we have seen the society has changed it's tune about a lot of stuff .... would it really surprise any of us if they decided for what ever twisted selfesh reasons to change their policys on this issue of ousting members.
Good for you Gopher .... Now I know why I avoid my mothers phone calls like the plaque.
Your the Man!

That is why we seek refuge within this group because we don't make up rules like shunning anyone who doe's not think the way we do. Hear we can express our feelings, whatever they may be and not worry about being expelled form all human contact. We already have enough hate in the world .... Lets not let it come in here.

why would someone, upon tasting freedom, want to return to bondage?.
lets call it the "shawshank redemption syndrome" to those that havn't seen the movie, its one of those 'triumph of the human spirit over extream adversity' movies.. the movie depicts the lives of prisoners & how difficult it iz to adjust to freedom after years of incarceration,you know, the guy that breaks the store window so he can go back to prison & whats familiar.. i can understand, in light of the above, how some who leave the borg,& then have a yearning for the old ways.
the watchtower offers answers for everything, you need not think, just play by the rules & everything will be ok, because we have the real god on our side!
Moman,
I remember in my early child hood (mid 60s) my father use to warn us kids that some day soon our parents may be taken away from us by the authhorities ... (After the preaching work was stopped)and tell us to sign some document giving our allegiance over to the Government, he told me that they may trick us kids by saying that your parents have already sighned such papers. Soon after the tribulation would begin then Armageddon would follow and all wicked people would be distroyed. I was so terrified of Armageddon because I may have to watch my own parents being persecuted and they would hurt me and my siblings ... But, giving in was no use because I would just die at Armageddon anyway .... I did not want that because it was discribed as a horrible death, your eyes and tongue would rot away while you were still alive. When your a little kid this can be very frightening, it took me a good 3 years after leaving the JWs to realize that I was not going to die at Armageddon, I was in my mid 30s by then. I am not sure why these two individuals want to return to being JWs again, perhaps they are still afraid of every thing they have been told. It takes an incredible amount of strength and courage to leave this organization. That's what this organization is counting on.
