CO disfellowshipped, Central Coast, Australia

by WinstonSmith in

hi guys,.

i was just looking through www.reddit.com/r/exjw and there is a thread that was posted about four hours ago with the title "so our circuit overseer just got disfellowshipped" and there some basic details in their op.

the location is given as central coast, australia, which is north of sydney.. there aren't many more details other than "it has sent shockwaves throguh the congregations" and a query on the protocol in situations like this.

I guess theres a chance that these announcement are posted by JWs to flush out people who are visiting unauthorized sites.

Am I right?

New F&DS Light question

by ItsMyLife in

i have a question about the implications of the new light regarding the f&ds.

sorry if it sounds complicated, i'm not good at explaining things.. .

if the f&ds is now just the few brothers who get together to dispense the food at the proper time, and the f&ds will be appointed over all of christ's belongings, then does that mean they will be appointed above the rest of the 144,000 when they go to heaven?

So, the fds USED to be all annointed when the numbers were decreasing but when all these new partakers came on the scene who were labelled as mental patients, two groups had to be formed so that the shepherded flock didnt have to worry about being led by crazy people.

Is that the gist?

What happens when you argue with JW's?

by Terry in

i can't claim 100% recall, certainly.

jw: "they are imperfect.

jw: "i don't know of any other place to go that has something better.".

Me: "Oh, I see. David claimed his adultry was commanded by Jehovah? David claimed killing Uriah the Hittite was required by Jehovah? David was punished for trying to do God's will and being mistaken about it?"

I LOVED THIS!

What if you are expected by God to help downtrodden people and instead you are only a glorified magazine saleman? What if the only effective thing you have done your whole life is put money into the hands of people in Brooklyn NY who buy real estate, invest in stocks, wield power over hapless people and change their minds at regular intervals and pass it off as flashes of revelation from god?"

OUCH!

You guys gotta make up my mind!

Is the goal to wake people up?

Or leave them in ignorance?

and don't worry, I've turned down marriage offers from others. I'm not desperate nor am I afraid to walk if necessary.

Life keeps putting this man in my path. I'm tired of tripping over him.

If I dont chase him away, he

NOW THAT'S HILARIOUS! Seems like my not going to one of these services to get to know the elders may be serving to my disadvantage. Boy would I have questions for them... I'd eventually become one of the first non-jw apostates who was never in the organization.

BANNED!

I wonder if they'd put my picture on the wall of the other KHs?

UPDATE: I'm absolved of my sin! He approached me with open arms. After the embrace, I looked him dead in the eye and apologized for...

...my delivery.

HEY! GIVE ME CREDIT FOR MY HONESTY!

The two hour conversation that followed needs to be on another thread. I have a few questions.
