  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.

  What if a Jehovah's Witness lives next door to an apostate? Is he/she told to hate him/her by direct order from the Watchtower

  surely there must be many jehovah's witnesses out there that live next door or near an "apostate"?????

  do they love them and follow the words of jesus christ or hate them as the watchtower suggests?

  how would a jehovah's witness respond to this?

  Well Im an apostate by the societies definition and by dictionary definition. However the society doesnt know im an apostate. They probably suspect. They have a hunch i associate with D'ed people. One being an apostate.

  directly across the road from me live a JW family. The wife tries to preach to me every so often. I refuse the rags though. I try to stay away from them because i dont want to end up in conversations about religion. But when we pass each other in the street we wave or smile across the road.

  But this is probably because I have not been formerly DF or DA

  Yesterday Grandpa died a faithful JW.... or was he.

  by cyberjesus in

  2. friends

  yesterday at 3 am my grandfather.. 95 more or less... passed away after a heart attack... i got the call at 8 am.

  so i am the oldest grandson (out of 40) he was faithful, (thats what they want to say) reality is he wasnt, he cursed, he drank, he had plenty of women during his life.. he was an elder at some point and he was ultra good with everyone.

  he had a heart of gold... he treated me as his son, he never cared about my status.

  How many went from christian to something else?

  by Satanus in

  i noticed some posters who used to argue along christian lines, but don't do so, anymore.

  granted, it's a tough line to keep to on this forum.

  i would be interested to hear (read) of people who came here as believers, and then transitioned to unbeliever, and the reasons for that.
