Oh come on!!!!!!!! What right did they have to do that without you're consent??
Man, I would get a lawyer so fast it would make their heads spin!
Total defamation case I would say.

last night(tuesday) an announcement was made in our congregation that my husband and i had disassociated ourselves.
we did no such thing(for personal reasons) nor was any document whatsoever given to the local elders or anyone else.
nevertheless, that is what happened, apparently no letter of resignation is required.

there's soo many yummy cheeses.
one that hasn't been mentioned that i like a lot is pepper jack cheese (yummy!!!
) havarti is a nice mild, smooth and creamy delight!!.
Too much cheese will constipate you. In that case, I recommend Dr. Blasto's Rectum Rockets.
Guaranteed to work every time.

Hello from really wet Southern Oregon!
did your hall ever organize times for the congregation to do activities?.
about every 6-9 months, mine would have a congregation picnic.
people would bring food, and we would play a softball game.
I learned to make my own fun. I have friends who will come over just because they like me for me, not based upon how many
meetings I attended last week.

I remember going to some gatherings say on a Saturday night, and invariably we always ended up having to go over the
Watchtower for the Sunday meeting. It seems like just when you were having fun, it was time to study. Geez, they just
could'nt spare one damn evening without some sort of "spiritual food". I began to hate cong. gatherings after a while, especially the
stupid "entertainment nights" we had, where people would sing or do some sort of cheesy skit or something, kind of like the
Gong Show gone horribly wrong. What really fried my ass was that sometimes people would be chosen to go on the stage
to do some game or whatever, and the only people that were ever asked to participate were either Elders or Pioneers, or the
elder's wives. Talk about stuck up! It was really awful.
I can truly say that I have never met a more snooty, nose-stuck-in-the-air group of people in my life.
Thanks.
this is not a question regarding bill bowen/ray franz et.
al.
that has been discussed elsewhere.
It is not that I don't believe the allegations, for I have been a victim myself. But people get to where they attack just for the
sake of attacking. It goes back to the old saying that there are bad apples in every bunch, or on every tree. There is good and
bad anywhere you go. It is not just unique to JWs. People need to remain balanced because if we don't, this forum will
develop a reputation for nothing but a place to slander and distort. I certainly would not want to be guilty of that. We need to
be SURE before we make allegations, otherwise it is just empty gossip.
Thanks!

i was born and raised a dub, and i've never been able to understand how jw's can claim to be a worldwide united "brotherhood" when there is so much racism within the org.
when i was 14, my father noticed that i liked a black teenage brother in our hall.
there wasn't anything to it, we weren't dating secrectly or otherwise, i simply liked him and thought he was a cutie.
Sure, they're united! Because if you dare to disagree, you are told find the door.
wow... it's been awhile since i've posted, there are a lot of new names here.
i just had to post on this.... i received a letter from my mother friday telling me that she and my father no longer wish to associate with my husband or me.
they will contact me in case of emergency but thats it.

I know how you feel-my parents treat me the same way. It is really horrible what these people promote, haughtiness,
self-righteousness and snootiness at it's best. I guess it makes other JWs feel really big to put inactive or DFd family members
down. It's kind of like belonging to an exclusive club, a members only type of thing. Only the JW "elite" are invited to
gatherings, etc. Totally pathetic unchristian behavior at it's best.
Your mom is the one losing in this whole thing. Maybe someday she will come to her senses, but don't count on it.
Make yourself happy.
Phooey on 'em.
Take care,
Vita
