DFed talking to other DFed

by blownaway in

i don't know if they do this any longer but back in the day they had a special section at an assembly sectioned off for dfed people who would have to wear a ribbon that said disfellowshipped.

do they still do this and what was the rules on dfed talking to dfed at the assembly?

I asked my wife and she does not remember it either but I do. I believe it was a circuit assembly a small one but could not say where. Northern Michigan, Canada area I would assume. Could have been some localized thing. I do remember it tough. But I would have been 7 to 9 YO.

I don't think the area was a coral they had to stay in, it was a designated seating. Could it have been a one of. I don't know. I know they had seating in a designated area and a badge type ribbon that said disfellowshipped. I don't remember it after the 60s but I know it was several assemblies in our area as a kid at that time.

Have you ever considered trying ancestry.com?

friends

i was recently given a gift of ancestry.com and i’m curious if anyone else has used this service?.

blownaway

I did it about 6 months ago. I was told growing up most of my heritage was England and Germany. I did the Ancestry.com and it came back 60% England and 35% Western Europe and 2% Scandinavia so they were not lying.

I can clearly remember assemblies where there were sections and ribbons. My mother pointed it out and said don't talk to people with that ribbon. This was late 60s.

Jw funerals

by blisterfeet in

i recently posted that i found out my father is sick.

i have not found out any additional information from my family.

i’m kinda on an “as provided” basis with information.

JW funerals are sick, they are recruitment talks not funerals. Second I can remember a CO giving a talk at a CA and pulling a skull out of a paper bag saying if you wanted to talk to your DFed children or family members and Jehovah was in charge of this system this is what you would be talking to. What a fucking douche nozzle.

GB and being famous

by asp59 in

have there been a gb in the organization before that like the 'spot light' as much as the current one?

they seem to be everywhere.

from broadcasting, to magazine and selfie jws post on facebook with them..

blownaway

I think this will backfire and is backfiring on them. I heard one recording where Tony tight pants was followed as he walked on the street and had to dash into a door to get away. 20 years ago no one knew but a few of the rank and file who the GB was and not many photos were around. Now they are known and can be chased around as they walk out and about. I see the cult in terminal decline. I don't see it gone in a few years but who knows I thought Germany would take several years and bam all over.
