i have recently been disfellowshipped (after being reinstated in march).

i saw a group of jws gathered in the town car park yesterday.

they seemed startled when they recognised my car and talked amongst themselves giving one another a satisfied grin!

In answer to Finkelstein:

" If so I've never heard of someone getting Dfed simply because of them living under the same roof of a person who is DFed ?

Why cant you find a job and move out on your own then ? "

The Witch/Wisewomen has never been a JW, she had some bad experiences with the Pentecostals which put her off all religion. What she does has nothing to do with religion, its just working with the spirits of the land to help people. She is well known in the media, been on TV and in newspapers etc and I worked alongside her.

The JWs refuse to believe I was no longer taking part in that kind of work which they called "spiritism" when it is something the lady and I have not practised. they did not give me a chance to explain, they had found what they call evidence of my past involvement from the intermet and that was enough for them without giving me a chance to explain.

I don't think the fact I shouted and argued with the sex mad elder who was grilling me about my sexual activities (of which there have been none). Since then they have wanted me out because I stood up to them and refuse to "hang my head in shame" (my mothers advice to me)

I am on a low wage and cannot afford to get a place of my own. I would be able to move into a rented room but these days I wouldn't want to stay in the home of a stranger. None of my family have offered help and neither did the JWs. I also do not agree that living where I am affected my being a JW either.

Thinking about it though, I do not believe those men are appointed by God and I will not sign one of those blood documents giving the elders access to my medical records and permission to turn off my life support machine either. No point in being in it if you don't agree with those things. x

I was so disappointed when attending my Dad's funeral. None of it seemed to be about him. He deserved so much more than that :-( x

Hi Finkelstein:

You asked "I was just wondering how you got DFed in just matter of months".

I got reinstated in March after being out 26 years. My Dad died last year and I promised him I would go back. My husband and I divorced in 2012 and I would have been homeless if a friend had not taken me into her home. I am still living there and the elders wanted me to move out as she is a Witch/Wisewoman. They said they would not have reinstated me had they known exactly who the lady was. Anyway I cannot afford to move out and get a place of my own, not them or my JW family offered me any help, so they disfellowshipped me. :-( x

I have recently been disfellowshipped (after being reinstated in March). I saw a group of JWs gathered in the town car park yesterday. They seemed startled when they recognised my car and talked amongst themselves giving one another a satisfied grin! An overweight "brother" who waddles around like a frightened rabbit seemed scared of me when I attended meetings before and made it pretty obvious he didn't like me being in the congregation. I watched him walk off with his dutiful wife and two very pretty teenage daughters.

Since then I have been wondering whether to attend the meetings just for the hell of it. The elders there and others (mainly men) who were uncomfortable with my presence and made it difficult for me until they drove me out. I hated the fact that they would be satisfied about it. I don't want to get reinstated I would just like to attend meetings and show them they have no power over me and I can be there if I want to. Thoughts please?

Family contact in terminal illness cases.

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

i had not seen my parents for over 15 years since the funeral of my brother and even then no one spoke to me as i was da.

my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2014 and i was then permitted contact with them.

i now know the reason that this is allowed.

Disassociated Lady 2

Thank you for those comments and as you say there are many in the same situation. I cant understand why these people make so many excuses for JW behaviour (apart from the brainwashing that is). I know someone who's mother is ill and a JW. Her daughter is a SPIRIT MEDIUM and takes her to hospital, does her mums housework and visits often. The JWs are aware of this but will turn a blind eye to her associating with her daughter rather than help this woman out herself.

Mind you, if I was my mum's only daughter she would have to accept help from me, but because I have two JW brothers and an inactive sister (who lives with her boyfriend and shouldn't be classed as a JW but they turn a blind eye to it.) She looks after my mum) and has social nights out with JWs too because she has not been disfellowshipped. so corrupt! :-( x

I was so disappointed for my parents after all the effort they had put in throughout their lives and even now I know my Mum makes excuses for them.

I also heard of a sister who was forced to use a church charity when she was ill as there was no one else to help her. I can imagine she would have been in big trouble for that!

You are so pleased to be with your family again that you would do anything for them. If you are around to care for them when they are dying the JWs don't have to do it themselves. My Dad passed away in May 2015 and he had been baptized since 1958. They paid a visit now and again when he was ill but did not help with his care etc. They don't visit my mother either now she is alone. My parents wasted their lives for nearly 60 years and tried their best to conform and that is how important faithful servants are to them. Heartbreaking! :-( x

WT "Study" for 4th September 2016 - “Seek the Kingdom, Not Things”

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

i’m sitting there in the kingdom hall just thinking how rich it is of the gbojw to preach about materialism when they have recently been evidenced to be using bro’s & sis’ contributions to the world wide work to travel business class!

just that thought alone was leading me to read scripture while they were all engaged in the wt “study”.. however, then it came to paragraph 17 and i blurted / choked a little.

the paragraph said that “we should not imitate the people of ‘the nations,’ who have no real faith in a loving heavenly father who cares for those who put the interests of his kingdom first in their life.”.

Whether this religion is true or not ( I doubt it) I would not want to live forever with hypocrites like that anyway >:-( x

Just deleted all elders phone numbers

by Chook in

flying blind on the incoming calls but i am not fearfully looking around and will approach any religious zealots like a warrior.

there nothing like the unpredictable, because these men it's all about the prediction..

Disassociated Lady 2

The elders wouldn't let me fade, as soon as I got reinstated they hounded me and dug up all kinds of information from my past refusing to believe I was no longer doing those things so they could disfellowship me again. they are now getting wise to the "fade" tactic grrrrr >:-( xxx
