  this is sort of a take-off of the "what should the wt do" thread.. i need to get together a board of directors and elect a president and officers.

  we need to figure out a doctrine, a manifesto, and a set of disciplinary rules.

  we need to figure out a way to fund our new movement.

  hi, dfs.. first of all, let me say it is not necessary to label yourself on this board, or anywhere on the internet for that matter.. so many of us have family members that are df'd, it really doesn't hold much water round here.

  i did have some questions for you though, which of course you don't have to answer.. 1. why were you disfellowshipped?

  (pls.

  We had 45's when I was little. Probably drove my mother crazy playing the same one's over and over. "A White Sport Coat With a Pink Carnation" was a fave. Been advertising some oldies on TV. Brings back memories.
  I love Patsy Cline. She was born in the town we live in. I lived right down the road from where "Sweet Dreams" was filmed for awhile.

  this tale was sent to me by someone on one of the e-mail lists i belong to.

  i found it quite thought provoking.

  perhaps you'll enjoy it, also.

  RHW,
  Leave it up to you to find something different! My husband will probably like this one. He has always said the Bible leaves room for other people having been on the earth.
  Personally, I think Glory and I would get along very well.

  Path,
  I am glad you brought up the parallel situation in Mexico. This double standard has bothered me a great deal. For it is hard for me to understand why the brothers and sisters in Malawi (sp?) had to be horribly persecuted while at the same time the unaware brothers in Mexico did not have to suffer those things because of a different stance.
  This seems to have been the case over the years with many different issues. And it seems terribly wrong to me. How sad that different policies and standards for different people and different areas has permanently hurt so many.
  What makes it worse is that Society seems to make no retraction or apologies to those it has harmed.
  And Df'ed, we do want you to post. But it is something of an enigma to me as to why you would associate here with ones who are questioning the Society and some who have no intention of ever getting back. Although, I am of the mind that each individual has a right to make their own decision about what they want to believe in and support. And I must say, that I respect your defense of the WT even if I may not always agree. Tolerance of others is very important to me. Regardless of whether I agree with them or not.

  when the rain clears...

  by Deacon in

  ive been reading thesr posts for a while, thinking on them, pondering as the wt has recommended over the years.. having grown up as a witness, and having been involved in both the boring and the more exciting parts of the ministry, i know what it is like to be part of a team, and more importantly , i know what its like to be a team player on gods side.

  and then one day, things start to unravel, the marriage, the relationship with bethel, the relationship with members in the congregations, and then, on another later day, suddenly you find yourself on the outside.. so, as time passes, a person begins to miss the association, the meetings, the laughter of the ministry groups, even the smell of the kingdom halls.....and effort is made to restore self to favour....and in time that too....comes to pass.. but here i am, a few years later, once more isolated, but this time by my own choice, beset by doubts and concerns over something that i held and hold sacred.. my circumstances have changed.

  i chose the path of marriage again, to a wonderful person that has filled my life with contentment without the pressures of having to be an elder or an example to others in the christian manner, for those that are or have been in positions of oversight, you will know what this means...and yes my wife is one raised as a witness, and having her own journey that she may or may not choose to share with you...in any case, i feel priveleged to know her just for the decent human she is.. so, here i am, watching, reading, thinking....and i admit to being a little lost.. firstly, 607, it may or may not be correct, frankly my dears.... the ever changing date of armaggeddon...well that would appear to be a previousness on the part of the leading lights...after a while it gets tedious and a little self defeating.... the meetings and requirements for field service...well as i see it, the bible indicates it is a requirement to meet together, and furthermore a requirement to tell others about jehovah....the application of the principles have become (almost law,) in order to belong to the organisation known as jehovahs witnesses...that is a minor problem, despite the best efforts from co's and do's from the platform, the unoffical stance is that if you aint cutting it.. you aint spiritual.. now,where im at in this stream of time, along with all the confusion about what is right and what is wrong, i have to just look for other confirmations that jehovahs time is at hand...if indeed it is near at all.. man is now developing life in vacuums, primitive cellular structures it may be, but the leaps of testing criteria has been enhanced by the use of computers to cut time.... man has the ability (proven) to destroy earth.. man is killing the earth.. now if i was the creator, and he once before destroyed civilisation when they built the tower of babel, i would be thinking that soon they would know stuff they shouldnt know, and in any case, the earthdewellers are so dumb they will destroy themselves..id better start big a... my concern is,, that in the bigger picture..does it really matter if we get it so wrong, so many times and so quickly?

  Deacon,
  Thank you so much for sharing your intimate thoughts and feelings.
  As others have expressed, it reflects so many of us.
  As time goes on, I think you will find the search becomes less strenuous. It will allow you the time to enjoy the important things in life. Your post reflects some of this already. Many hugs and kisses come you and your wife's way.
  I would say more, but I am feeling a little emotional.
