  Help! I can't get my wife off

  by xjw_b12 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been registered here since october 2001, when the un story broke.

  i figured it is time to start my first official thread and introduce myself.. first i would like to thank simon for providing this forum.

  i have enjoyed it immensely for the past year or so and found it both thought provoking, and humerous.. the problem i have, is trying to get my wife of 18 years to visit here.

  Disfellowshipped? I got a question

  by sableindian in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if a person is disfellowshipped, can they talk to anyone in the congregation?

  and if not, what scripture says they (the disfellowshipped person) can not.

  and, has anyone ever heard that an elder or someone else suggest a disfellowshipped person wear a letter "d" (the scarlett letter) when they go to public functions like an assembly?

  Who here is shunned by family?

  by Brummie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  remember the watchtower that asked "are jws a cult?

  " and then listed things that cleared it of the accusations of being such?

  cant remember the date.. anyway one of the things it said was that "cults" usually have a lot of ex members testifying against it and the damage it has caused to their family lives.

  The break between meetings

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a young child, i remember there being a small break between the meetings.

  you could get up, walk around, associate, and then go back in for the second half.

  at some point, they changed it to where there was just the song.

  finally got my thoughts gathered to share......

  by scootergirl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am relatively new to the board and have to say have never had such a heartwarming welcome from so many people!

  it feels so comforting to make new friends that "understand" where i have come from.. i have read many many stories, and have sat back in awe....wow, what stories.

  mine is quite simple, but none-the-less my story.
