He's switched on predictive texting, I think motorola call it T5 or maybe that was Sony?
Google your model and predictive text, you should find the answer.
so i let my adult son borrow my cell phone.
when i get it back, i find that he had reset the texting so that every time i put in a letter i have to arrow over to hit the selection ffrom a bunch of choices at the bottom!
bad enough i don't have a qwerty text keyboard....now it takes ten minutes just to write one stupid sentence.. and..... although he is the one who reset it, he does not know how to undo it!.

Happy birthday to you too
anyone had any experience of a successful appeal against a disfellowship?
a friend of mine feels he has been dfd unjustifiably & is considering an appeal.
he probably has something of a case - the jc was a total shambles - but i'm very dubious that he has any likelihood of success.. my only experience of a successful appeal is when elders in a neighbouring congregation were appointed by the co & overturned a df in our congregation a few years ago.
The appeal is there to see if the original decision was correct, the only way it can be appealed successfully is if some evidence or a slant on the original story makes a difference.

the verdict is in!.
almost all of the anti-jehovah's witness organization have been completely quiet about the arrest and detention of the person in denmark who posted on the "yourselves and to all of the flock", and the society's other secret documents, in violation of international copyright laws.
What a bizarre webpage!!
i am visiting this site for quite some time now and now i think it is time to tell something about me and my experience.
without giving away my name (i am in "fade mode"): i am from the small country they call the netherlands, the land of wooden shoes, tulips, cheese and too many inhabitants per square meter.
i am married with children and a second generation jw.
Thank you for sharing your story, it seems you have indeed found the real you, I hope your wife finds the same refreshment as you.
i have lurked now and then, just decided to join.. my older brother and i were raised by our jw mom, but our dad was a non-practicing catholic.
so we went to the hall, but were considered "weak" witnesses, since our family still celebrated xmas and birthdays, to appease my dad i suppose.
as a kid, i loved these holidays.. anyways, when my brother was 17 (i was 13), he spent a few weeks with our cousins in ky, who are all gung-ho j-dubs, and upon his return, he decided he was going to be more "theocratic".
Welcome here, glad you shared your background with us. It's amazing how after years of communication your brother decides to stop, when you've never changed. It sounds very interesting, the NDE, my sceptical brain is intrigued!
i've been out for a good solid 7 years.. last night was the 2nd memorial in a row i did not attend.. this year's memorial was the 1st time i did not receive an invitation or a visit or a phone call from anyone asking me to attend.. in fact, i didn't even realize it was last night until i got on this website this morning.. it feels great!.
I got a phone call invite the night before, I gave a very patronising 'aw thank you' and ended the call.

if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.
it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.
Cedars, your time and effort is greatly appreciated, I cannot fathom how anyone can just accept all this and believe the GB are who they say they are, the R+F are truly blinded. As you say, it leaves more questions that cannot appear to be answered.

from my place of forgetting, and out of my utter despair and loneliness, i tap out my pathetic message desperately hoping that there is someone, anyone that might possibly hear ... .

Welcome, you are welcome here, a place of freedom, a place that can assist you to become you, a somebody, the real you

i don't really know where to start, but i guess you've all been here before so you'll know where i'm coming from.
Welcome, I know how you feel. If you can stand the hypocrisy then keep up the pretense, however I couldn't do it and ended up having a nervous breakdown. I was an elder for 10 years, and saw the nonsense behind it all. I would recommend you study the bible objectively, without the WT soin as you put it, you will find it revealing and refreshing. I hope you find inner peace soon.
