The writer did not say that they were DFd, only that a committee was formed. Maybe the elder was chastised? The writer does not say. And we don't know what is meant by "he kept on" although it does not sound good.

Please don't take the mick....but I got disfellowshipped for kneeing an elder in the nads
by outinthemeadows inan elder in my congregation got on my nerves because he kept putting his arm around me and i'd asked him to stop.
a few weeks later he did the same thing again so i used my knee against his micro-penis.
a judicial committee was formed even though i was being sexually harrassed by this octapus of an elder.

I am glad you found this place.
Now then about your elders. What kind of morons are they to assign you as a WT reader, up on the platform representing as they say, and yet you what you are reading for everyone's benefit you do not follow. I applaud you for getting an education. I just cannot fathom the elder's thinking on this.

I will add to Dis-Member's comment from Acts 17:27 that "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us."
John 4:24 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." If we worship, we worship in spirit. This has nothing to do with being part of a group or joining a movement.
Strictly Bob...If you have God, then God exists only within. God is not to be found out there somewhere, out there anywhere. God is the spirit within.

My Story
by Brother Mike inmy story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.
since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.
immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.

Brother Mike, There is no judgment here. The people here understand because we have been through similar things. What you are going through is very hard thing. Be good to yourself for while. Take a mini vacation or do some things just for the joy of it. Life does eventually fall together in a wonderful way. I wish that for you speedily.

LOL, this will freak you outÂ…
by transhuman68 inive been cruising the net in search of the meaning of life (lol- as if!
) and came across this amazing piece of writing that i think puts everything in perspective... .
at first, when you really get that nothing matters at all it's very depressing.

Find joy along the way, I now say.
Remember that incident 2 weeks ago that really ticked you off, that made your blood boil? Today you can't even remember it, can you? Did it really matter?
(Dang. I should go out in field service with my new message.)

Julia. What if your old high school Principal came by your house with a veiled threat of dismissing you from the school? What would you say to him/her? Why would you care? Maybe you would snicker and say "I graduated your high school years ago. Do what you please about my status. I doubt I will be coming back."

Mike, there are a bunch of active brothers and sisters that look here. No big deal. I am glad they, you, are here. I used to not think that the WT was a cult. I changed my mind.

Everyone here is not like that. I read a lot here but don't post very much. I could say a lot, but it appears that others have a greater need to be heard.
Maybe leaving the WT in body does not equate to leaving the mindset of needing to be right. I like being right. But in the end, no one cares about me being right than me. So you can go ahead and say the most outrageous things and you won't get a complaint out of me.

This is just Bob's from NC one man opinion.
Children learn and develop an inner truth about themselves from their parents, from what their parents say and don't say. Words are powerful. Do you want to your child to believe about itself "YOU are a speck of dirt. Who are you to complain about ANYTHING! What do you have to be proud of?" Or more importantly, do you want your child to believe that YOU believe that about them?
How about something like this when questioned why why why. "One day before you know it, you will be making your own choices about everything. When that time comes I am sure you will make good choices. But right now you still need to learn a few things. And besides that, I work and provide everything that you have. So that gives me some say in what you do for now. That is why." No degrading remarks, no tearing down. And don't be mad when you say. That's just how it is...for now.
