The WT God is mysterious and likes to produce miracles every now and again to fill a few lines in a publication.
Frank probably had a masturbation problem that he didnt confess to the elders.

19Sometimes Jehovah looks out for His people, sometimes He lets them croak.......
by La Falta Habitacion Por Sr Hor-Hey!! incheck this out....... ***w871/1p.14theywillbecertaintofightagainstyou,buttheywillnotprevailagainstyou***.
deliverance has often come through being identified as one of jehovahs witnesses.
because of the house-to-house preaching, people get to know who the witnesses are and what their position is on issues of the day.

Worst Thing Youve Done In A Meeting?
by chuckie77 inwhats the worst thing youve done during a meeting?
years ago, when i was a bit more wicked/naughty/younger than i am now, i thought i would take some drugs just prior to the meeting to see if it would make things any more interesting.
it didnt, but at least i enjoyed the kingdom melodies tapping my foot to the beat and bopping my head!!

When I was 13 I was so totally in love with Scott and so was another girl in the cong. He didnt know we existed. So I scratched 'I love Scott' in a big love heart on the door of the ladies toilet. The gossip was that the other girl did it. lol... I never stopped feeling guilty about that one.
I also short changed the book study contribution box which was at our house a couple times. Every now and then if we needed change of a note our family would use it. I took advantage. I probably ended up about $10 richer. Still feel bad about that.
Another contribution box story... I wrote 'F... OFF' on a piece of paper and slipped it into the contribution box at the hall, all the while having the big kingdom smile on my face. Its only as an adult that I realized I may have been the only 'contributor' that day. lol
My sister scraped someones car in the KH carpark and quickly drove off.

Love what you said to the elders 'independentthinker'. Please be careful with alcohol though as when you are having problems it is addictive and alcoholism is not something you want to add to your problems. I hope you have supportive friends and family.

Disfellowshipped man tries to poison Elder and his family.
by jemba inthis story happened in my hometown in a hall i helped build years ago.
its no wonder this sort of thing happens, this guy was probably desperate and vunerable when he got df'd.
no pity for this stupid elder, but the poor kids.

Blindnomore I am so sorry for your loss. You made very pertinent comments to this thread and in no way hijacked it.
My reason for posting that link was to show just how dangerous DF/JCs can be for everyone involved. In this case the danger was to the Elders family.
Unfortunately in Blindnomore's case it was the life of her precious Daughter.
They dont seem to understand that their imperfect human judgements on people can have far reaching consequences.
A lovely Sister here was facing a JC and killed herself leaving 6 children behind.
I for one certainly like to see things like this in the media because it gives people an insight into JWs stupid practices - even if the DF guy was totally in the wrong. It highlights the reason that he became unhinged.

Have you read Athiests book of bible stories or similar and still believed the bible is the word of God?
by jemba ini had never questioned things in the bible.
i often thought something was strange considering jehovah was supposed to be so loving.
but never thought to see the bible as anything other than my jw upbringing taught me.. i now think the bible is a bunch of fairytales and have a whole lot less respect for the creator... if there is one..

So sorry to hear this far too often repeated story.
I personally knew 4 witnesses who suicided and a few others that didnt succeed. The latest was a sister with 6 kids facing a JC. Not only do the elders not have the skills to deal with people so depressed they often cause more anxiety. Way too much stress in that organisation.
Hopefully for the family it wasnt suicide. 23 is so young.

Yes I agree with 'ChristAlone' my parents said that at 15 yrs of age they could no longer carry me into paradise, I had to get baptised to get everlasting life...
