personally i hate it when you come face to face with someone disfellowshiped and you can't do a simple acknowledgement or greeting.
they are obviously making an effort to be there to be reinstated.
as i recall back in the 1970's they did allow this but what is always the case some took advantage of this provision and in engaged in full blown conversations.
and as you sit in back at hall, study, show respect even when you feel you were disfellowshiped wrongly. and each jc meeting you plead to be allowed to rejoin, they turn you down again, Parents asked why answer( many parents do not want children reinsted quickly, they want to make sure their kids are repentent) do you buy this CRAP true story
of course his true sin was being disfellowshiped from Bethel. It is nearly 2 years. Keep it up JW'S and another will join this forum.
has anyone noticed the recent deterioration in the quality of wt's contents lately?..
the spiritual food seems to be getting more and more shitty these days.
i have given a thought to what could really be going wrong, and if it is likely that some on the wiriting committee is consciously dishing out those nonsense to facilitate more poeple seeing ttat.
working in food sevice you learn about dealing with food. First time served it is good, second time heated, stirred, and served it still tastes good, third time reheated,stirred, and served it is boring and doesn't taste very good,.Forth time and any time served after it starts to smell, starts bad bacteria growing. Dangerous for your health if you eat it. Does it sound familiar to anyone else.

I started out wanting to comment onSophieG post and on flippers, they both expressed themselves so well and I also these peoples personalities. I love everyone can have and show their true selves. Two months ago I told my daughter I never got to know and develop my true self. I was shocked that I can even speak up and let people tp know I think i know by PM- I would have kept in my corner and kept wondering when I was at a KH.
we had an old time jw pass away recently he lived his entire life lie the new system was going to be here tomorrow.. he was a gillard grad and went on to be missionry in west africa.. came back home when wife got pregent(they eventuly had 3 children) ,sold everything pre 75 to see the system out and pioneer then had to work his butt off to rebuild his finances and put a roof over his familys head.. he retired and became a co till his wifes health could no longer alow it.. he got a treminal illness and i wonder in his quiter moments did he think ....".ive lived my entire life for a dream that never came true".

karter..
In the last few weeks before my mom died she forgot she had ever been a JW and it was fun to watch. She actually has ger caregiver give her a birthday party and she enjoyed it so much She apparently knew how to party but this was a side I never knew until just before the end My husbands at 86 stills speaks about living thru Aremegeddon but it better come fast, her health is fading.
so, i finally decided to become a member and make my first post .
a bit about me:.
i've been lurking around the forum for quite some time (about 6 months i think).

i was talking with an elderly sister today, and she brought up the topic of pioneering in march & april.
she then mentioned the elderly brother who has an extremely serious condition who was used to explain to the congregation, how he would adjust to be able to get the pioneer hours in.
it became 100% clear to the sister (and probably others) that this brother could die by pushing himself so hard.. loving shepherds, prove it - don't sanction such ones to enrol for such a life-threatening exercise.
Irondorl that means my Grandpa is in Paradise. He died doing field service in his70s . Died in the 1940's
fbi and santa barbara agents arrested michael at the airport.
he is locked up in santa barbara county jail.
he awaits bail hearing and i intend on presenting evidence to revoke his $250,000.00 bail.. thanks to everyone for your encouragement and support!.
Just make sure this man is prosecuted too many JW molesters have got away with it. I know two for sures and neither were ever made to stand trial for their sickening crime. Keep pushing the media.
the restrictive life style watch tower society puts on its members is smothering.
the ones who stay living with "mom" and "dad" must obey their rules.
talk about dysfunctional, overbearing parents with impossible ideals for their child.. bethelites = live at home with mother & father.
