  while preaching this past saturday 3-16-13 the following conversation took place in my car with an elder from my cong, my wife, a retired sister and myself.. me: addressing my wife i asked her: do you know how is brother (moron) that crashed his car into a fire station while drunk?

  wife: don't know.

  last thing i heard was that he was in a critical condition.at this point the elder chimes in.. elder: poor guy!

  shunning wrecks families

  by bigmac in

  2. friends

  thread started to avoid going off topic elsewhere.. this matter of shunning---my story.. i made the decision to resign from the jw religion in my early twenties--i'm 65 now.

  i knew i would never deny any of mine a blood transfusion--just to appease this religion --and its deity.. my jw wife had just had our first child--a girl---and we went on over the next 7 years to have 2 more planned for kids---both boys.

  i like to think i was a good dad--they meant everything to me.. i hold up my hand and admit i caused the break up of that marriage---my wife stayed in the religion--and--apparently it was announced in the kh i couldnt be d/f'd---as i hadnt been a jw for years---so they said i was an apostate.. fast forward a few years--into the mid 80's---i had remarried--and led a relatively normal life.

  Your stories make me want to scream out my lungs in anger, it is disgusting what this cult does. Thinking of you all, try to find one thing today that makes you smile.

  hello again, following my story with this girl , and after she blocked me on fb and not answering my phone calls since december , i am now thinking of taking revenge.my feelings of pain are starting to become hate ,and pain always is accompanied by the feeling of revenge to satisfy this bad feeling.i just cant simply forget what shes done to me.

  the reasons of my revenge :.

  1.she played with my feelings when she knew from the start that she would leave me one day.

  Is this true? Do the elders really do it like this?

  i put this week's wt paragraph about disfellowshipping on my fb page and said how poor robert's family didn't even check to see whether he was dead or alive in 16 years and a friend of mine of the 'conscious class' commented about how unchristian she felt disfellowshipping to this degree is, and i agreed.. another friend, and uber-jw who has a host of illnesses and yet pioneers, who everytime she and her husband go to another congregation, if he's not appointed within three years they move to another and try for an appointment there - he used to be an elder and no one is willing to promote him again- replied to my thread.

  now keep in mind she has a dfd son and she doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive, because she follows the wt to the tee.

  she replied, among other things,with this:.

  It may be that over a period of time a person was counselled about something, and told the consequence of not following the counsel would be disfellowshipping. That is a point that is considered in a JC, has the person been repeatedly counselled, if so are they truly repentant.

  Within the setting of a JC only, there is no repeating of consequences, the elders are told that they are to look for repentance even during the JC as they may have a change of heart.

  why do I write?

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i must admit, i feel rather like winston smith from orwell's 1984. i sit here in front of the image of a blank piece of paper on my computer screen.

  i am alone in my study, alone, but like winston, i am hesitant to write on this blank piece of paper, fearful that i am under the watchful eye of the telescreen.

  it is a form of paranoia, i guess, a paranoia that is synonymous with being in the organization; an organization that worries more about perception than substance.

  we invited our very close witness friend to a picnic/coffee in the park and she said she would sms us and let us know...she didnt bother which is like a big f.u to me.

  we are inactive but not sinners.

  Welcome. That's a real dilemma, do you wonder if your relationship would change again once you are reinstated, maybe just now they are showing an interest but will they continue to? Only you know your family from your perspective, but as already said, you need to be true to yourself.

  i'm sure the more discerning of you thought that the silly, green, wooly-headed avatar called "humbled" that strolled on the scene here looked familiar....... it is i, nac, with a new given name come back for a visit since i have internet for a while.

  i have missed you these three years.

  i've been in a far away land--the ozark mountains of nw arkansas.. because i've been blessed with anal canal cancer (nothing so hum-drum as rectal cancer) circumstances allow me to share your company 'til my sad bum can get radiated more-or-less back into shape.. any quality potty-humor (no naughty bm's---oops!---.

  Welcome back, I found this online:

  A little boy goes up to his dad and says “Dad, where does poo come from?”

  Dad explains that food enters the mouth and passes down the oesophagus to the stomach. There, digestive enzymes induce a probiotic reaction in the alimentary canal to extract protein before waste products descend via the colon and rectum to emerge as “poo”.

  “F*ck me!” says the little boy “Where does Tigger come from then?”

  It sounds like you are staying positive, hope all goes well.
