  DO’s, CO’s, Prominent Elders being DF”d recently….

  by cyberguy in

  2. beliefs

  i just got off the phone with a friend of mine and thought i should relay something interesting.

  he said at a recent (within the last month) elders school in florida, dos, cos and elders that have been associated for decades are becoming "apostates," leaving the organization and have been dfd!

  something that makes me say "hummmm!".

  It all adds up... You are definitely a man!

  
  
  
  

  How do we know? Well, deep down, your gender affects everything about you, from your favorite number to your views on Canada. Many men who took the test think and act just like you, as you can see from the clusters above. Statistically speaking, you are a dude. I think they got their picture confused! That is a Pic of a women? Qwerty

  by Jayson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was told in my last fight with the jw's that if it was not for the act of disfellowshipping i would not have a problem with them.

  i don't think that's true.

  is that true for you?

  2. friends

  my brother whos dfd turned down a blood transfusion when he had an accident, its a good job he didnt seriously need it, although he did lose a lot of blood.

  see the control this society has on people who havent questioned.

  he hasnt thought any of it through and is still controlled by a lot of it subconsciously.

  Is your brother younger or older than you?

  I think I told you that my brother is DF also, he still believes that the WT is correct. He seems to be coming around slowly, don't give up.
