Hooray for me!

by stillin in

cleaning house and chunking out i useless trash today.

guess what went into the trash?

that's right, about ten years worth of magazines, all wt that i truthfully admitted to myself i never look at, and if i did it would be on the cdrom program.

I toss everything I find (generally during our "spring cleaning" aka wild hair up my butt to clean everything top to bottom). I go through our rubbermaid bins that store personal belongings in and toss everything. how do they reproduce?? I have tossed things out 3 times in 2 years! Like HUGE amounts of books, magazines, tracts, notes, etc. Good grief! Feels good though, and it makes room for more things to save from our daughters :)

Question for Elders... Will Refusing to meet with Elders - Avoid Disfellowshipping?

by rrb2016 in

does anyone know if this strategy will work to avoid being disfellowshipped?

if one moves their card from one hall to another before a "wrongdoing" becomes public - and then refuses to meet with the elders at the new hall - will they simply be able to fade away without being disfellowshipped.

i had heard that if you refuse to meet with the elders, they generally will not df you - in order to avoid possible legal issues.

I was DF'd because I coudln't meet with the elders 2000 miles away... I told them that I wanted to be anyways, so it was kind of a mutual thing> I was reinstated though, and my file was sent to the state I'm in now. I moved shortly after my papers arrived, and somehow they were "lost". I became "inactive" and then moved 2 more times after that, no one knows where I am, no one knows me in this state (that's a JW), so I'm probably just "inactive" now. But if they know where you live and you just blatantly ignore them, they can DF you without a JC meeting. As far as I know from my Elder dad and P.O. grandfather.

JWs and Earthquakes

by okage in

yesterday, my wife's sister shared on facebook a screen capture of people talking about the earthquake in china.

the top of the list was a twitter user saying "is it just me or are these 5.0+ quakes coming more frequently" (paraphrasing).

her response "people are finally seeing what's coming" (not paraphrasing).. initially, this pissed me off because there is no increase in earthquakes.

You know, that's what Satan wants you to believe. Don't you know you're supposed to trust the F&DS/GB and they say it's all getting worse. Geez, c'mon! Don't argue with God's spokesmen! It's the last days, it will be here any day now. How dare you try to use geological surveys and documented facts against their word!

" and observe the automatic response.
