growing up, this is something that my other always told me.
i've had several conversations with older sisters who have said that if they could do things over, they wouldn't have had children.
other couples my own age are horrified at the thought of raising children in "this system".
it must suck to be elderly and not have adult offspring provide assistance.
On the other hand, if you didn't have offspring, you could probably afford to pay for the kind of assistance you need, without having to lay guilt trips on anyone.
My youngest's present attitude has me rather terrified of the kind of old age home she'd pick for me.
during the announcements they stop to bring up an elder and he states " hairy mary is no longer a pioneer" (not a real name) in a tone very similar to a disfellowshipping.
i have heard it twice now but only from the hall my wife attends now.. anyone else hear of this?.

I must speak to his WIFE about my children and not him because it's "inappropriate for us to be talking to each other now because we are no longer married
You probably know this already, but that's complete and utter bullshit on his part. They're HIS children, and you are their mother, he is their father. It is totally appropriate for the two of you to communicate about your children and co-parenting with him. His new wife must either be an idiot or totally insecure about you being in contact with him.

Yes, I've heard it, and it was common practice back when I was still attending meetings.
The last time I heard it was in connection with an Elder™ "stepping aside" from being an Elder™ and from Pioneering™ and another Pioneer™ (a female who was not his wife) being removed and DFd, and a Local Needs Talk™ reminding everyone that people of the opposite sex should not be alone together unless they are married.
I felt pretty good about the ex-Elder™ getting that kick in the nads (because he'd been an asshole to me), but didn't think the Pioneer™ Sister™ should have been DFd - mind you, that's pretty much the only thing they could take away from her, since she didn't qualify to be an Elder™ or Ministerial Servant™ as she didn't have a penis.
If I did, I'd have to kill you.

 Post 12 of 31 Since 7/17/2011 | Thank you for the support .... I am 32 years old, single, and i feel so lonely sometimes, i have seen this " spiritual " gilrs, leading a double life and then getting married with bethelites , after that they are saints :P yeah sure! Anyways, i dont like all the double standards, like this ex-elder who got married and after 2 years he came out of the closet (gay) ... Im so dissapointed about the boys in the organization!! They show to be one thing when they really are somthing else

I'm confused. How can you be 29 and 32 at the same time?
life is still good.
every so often we will get a person asking the question should he da himself or not.
as many of you know i am a very strong believer in the power of the net in seeking advice on such an issue.
I just fired off a quick email to JT, min. I'll let you know if I hear back from him.
think louisiana.
pm me if it rings a bell.. warm heathen love & greetings,.

is "disfellowshipping" proper from a biblical point of view?.
There's nothing in the bible to support the idea that communication with DFd relatives should only occur in cases of Family Emergency™.
We all know that the only way it flows is when JWs are in dire straits, then they may call on DFd relatives to assist them with their "fami£¥ €m€rg€n¢¥". If a DFd relative needs help (any kind of help) or has any kind of emergency, well, that's just What Happens When You Leave The Truth™.

I miss JT. He's a hoot to talk to on the phone too.
