  Grunt,
  Thank you for posting that great reasoning. I know it must have taken you a lot of time to put it together. I think it voices how a lot of us feel.

  Grounds for Disfellowshipping?

  by eyes_opened in

  1. jw

  hey all,.

  i'm sure this topic has probably been covered before, but as i'm in this situation now i'm hoping maybe you can offer your thoughts.. i'm just curious, what are actually grounds for disfellowshipping?.

  i'm to the point where i no longer believe that jehovah's witnesses have the truth, but if at all possible i want to avoid the big *d* word, as most of my family and my husbands family are still jehovahs witnesses.

  Yep! Eyes,
  I hid too. They just didn't seem to get the hint when I said I didn't want to talk about it. So I hid. LOL, I thought HBH, was a local designation, didn't know other congregations used it too!
  And do be very careful of elder's wives. I have had experience with the spying. Some of them do run right back to their husbands, and their interpretation of what you supposedly said isn't always very accurate.

  A look into the devil's workshop

  by spectromize in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now we all know for you who have attended meetings at the kingdom hall and heard speakers from the platform give us bible verses and telling us that the ruler of this world is the devil of which i firmly believe due to the fact that this world is completely warped.. .

  doesn't it strike you funny to see that satan who makes the rules for his system can't keep them and tries to manipulate rules and regulations always in his favor and that of his seed.. .

  #1 example- did you know that according to the bible that satan's agents keep transforming themselves into agents of light.

  Eyes,
  I love your reasoning. You voice, very well might I add, the very thoughts that I have floating around in my head.
  Keep posting, it helps voice my sometimes confused thoughts.

  WHY ? !!!

  by somebody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the very first scripture cited under the "sharing on a judicial committee" in the elders book is duet.

  1:16. here are a million questions!

  how do members let the higher -ups use a scripture from the ot where moses was speaking to isreal, and completely disregard jesus' words?

  Somebody,
  I think in many areas, you are speaking for everyone here who has "been there done that". I cannot understand either how someone you truly love and care about can cut you off because you decide you don't believe the same. This was one of my big problems with the org. IMO, associating with a df'ed or da'ed person will not change the mind of an active believer. But JT is right about the mind control. It is massive and all inclusive. I just couldn't do it anymore. Or feel that way anymore.
  It is frustrating to see others continue to adhere to these ideas. Very frustrating. I am like JT's wife, why can't they just see?!!!!

  Who's Going to the Memorial??

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering..... for those of us who are inactive, or have serious doubts, etc etc... are you going to the memorial, even though you don't fully agree with how they explain things?.

  anyone planning to have their own at home?.

  or are you still planning on going, even if it's to say g'day to long "lost" friends?.

  At the risk of sounding disrespectful. I just have to share this. Toward the end of my attending meetings, I had lost all respect for most of the elders in my congregation. And it was hard for me to get through the meetings without having negative thoughts.
  You know how after they finish passing the emblems the two Brothers go up front and offer it to each other and the speaker? It started reminding me of a Three Stooges skit. Aren't I bad. It just cracked me up.

  Eyes,
  I have been saying that scripture in Matt. applies the JW's for a couple of months now. I even pulled the Bible out and showed it to my husband. We read the context and it really does seem to apply.

  Latte,
  Is there a way to access the latest mags on the net? I have no way of looking at those things in that issue of the Awake, and I would like to see them.

  This will be my second year of NOT attending. I'm sure it broke my parents hearts the first time.
  Frenchy,
  I am so sorry this is happening to you. But I trust your intelligence and quick thinking will get you through.
  Those questions are scary. I have never been good at skirting issues. I tend to blurt out an honest answer. Toward the end, the only defense I had was to say "I don't want to discuss that". It did tend to stop them in their tracks. After they got my letter of disassociation, they called about a month later. (conference call, made me mad) They said "We would really like to talk to you". I said no, it wouldn't be of any use. I don't want to talk. And that was the end of that.
