  i am interested in the answers for a new poll.

  also, feel free to suggest other options, wording etc.agreed in full with the watchtower guidelinesagreed with shunning in general, but not for familywas stumbled by this practice but shunned as instructeddid not agree with the practice and secretly associated with disfellowshipped people .

  for me personally, i did not agree with the practice and secretly associated with disfellowshipped people, even whilst at bethel.

  Here is the funeral talk outline. VERY discraceful.

  this is truly terrible.

  i just love the statement "instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth.

  " in other words, utterly disregard the deceased.

  my mum died 2 years ago....but we had left the borg years before that....

  we made sure we did not have a dub do the service... we had different people from different periods in mums life give a eulogy of that time....

  some jws turned up - not that they were invited..don't know how they found out but they came incl an elder and an ex elder...

  it was the most beautiful funeral ive been too....

  and so many of mums friends said so too..including some of her jw best friends that were there...

  it was not done in a way that "worshipped' her as the jws try to say...but it was funny and nice...experiences from her life...it was an overview of her life...

  im glad we were able to pay her some honour

  RIP mum, I love you and miss you every day xxx

  Are you DF'd? Share the weirdness, I'll start.....

  so i started a reply on the topic of "what's your status?

  " and it made me think about my df hearing (sorry i can't remember the exact term for what happened).. so i was fading, living in a different country, working & making rare appearances at my kingdom hall.

  i was flat sharing with a sister though.

  Are there any Gilead or MTS graduates on this site? What helped you to see the light and leave?

  by matt2414 in

  i was a faithful witness for years, even graduating from the ministerial training school.

  so much of what i learned at the school has already changed.

  if that was food at the proper time and, according to the latest teachings of the governing body, is now all wrong -- basically lies -- was it really spritual food from god?

  QR codes: a way to stop APOSTATES !!!

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  interesting meeting today.the do had the last talk and he mentioned a couple of things i have not heard before :.

  1) the new lighter magazines are designed in a way to attract people to our website .

  2)the ministry will change to incoprorate preacing in town centres and and with stands as in manhattan and certain brothers will be allocated to do this .so it is done now in a big scale ,organised.. 3)the qr codes at the back of the magazines are there for smart phone users to guide them directly to jw.org ,unlike bad old internet via laptops and pc's that you have to look for the website on google and sometimes end up in enemy websites that look like our website but are spreading lies about jw's (he said exactly that!

  2 years ago in Sept

  At my mothers funeral

  An old family friend of my mother and I from when we were in was there....he is old enough to be my father...in fact his kids were my friends when growing up...

  anyhow...

  at the cemetry after the funeral outside the chapel everyone was coming up to me giving condolences...

  he walks up (is an ex elder- stepped down) and gets right in my face, yes he is a guy, me a female and he is in my personal space...i couldnt breathe

  he then says...that he knows ive been hurt...he asks "but what did jehovah do when he was hurt?" i looked at him.... and he replied "he wrote down everything" - meaning the bible...

  so he then says to me i should write everything down from the very beginnning that has happened...

  thank god someone interupted...but it was really inappropriate...i had masses of people around me and he is acting like some pseudo psychiatrist whose life in his own beliefs are in ruins...and he is advising me....

  hmmm
