I have a friend who was DF'd for saying her husband was abusing her (physical and mental). She separated from him, kept up the allegations, and was warned if she kept talking about it she would be reproved. After a year of this, it was announced she was "no longer a JW". She has subsequently informed me it was because of her not keeping quiet. She is now divorced 'scriptuallly' because she was seen 'spending the night' at a friends house because she was having a nervous breakdown. He is now remarried, abusing another poor sister.

Has Anyone Gotten Disfellowshipped Here and For What??
by minimus insex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.
even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?

The “simplified” congregation donation arrangement
by slimboyfat indid anyone else experience a nostalgic throwback to the 1990s when the latest watchtower announcements presented their demand for increased donations from congregations as a “simplified” arrangement?
5. adjustment to resolved congregation donations: in the past, the congregation was presented with multiple resolutions to donate funds to the branch office in support of vari- ous activities cared for by the organization.
this arrangement has been simplified.

Did you ever know a JW who was political?
by wolverines inone black sister would always slam the jews when there was anything on the radio or tv about the palestinian's.
i knew others who had other ideas that were strange and not neutral as we were told to be.
the black sister would dress like she was from africa in a dashiki robe from time to time.

I now of at least 2 black 'friends' that went to Obama political rallies when held in my city. They claimed it was because it was historic. For some strange reason they got a pass from the elders.

JW.ORG delivering food to JWs in California
by NikL inso a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.
50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".
unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?

Are you all sure "WT is stealing from the USDA?" I know where I live, they have started food pantries and are making sure anything perishable gets divided out to those who need it before it goes bad. I am inactive and had a phone call that if I needed any food to contact any local elder. And if I had any canned food or water I could take it to this elder's house so they could distribute it in a crisis.

oppostate 3 hours ago
Quoting a Breibart page always reminds me of an ocean of orange soda!
It's all a Fanta-sea
I am very right leaning, but that made me chuckle. Nice one oppostate.

Jehovah? Oh dear.
by Giordano insome recent new friends on this forum like friend kosonen are fixated with god's name being jehovah...unfortunately they are wrong:.
a quick bit of history:.
"about the 13th century the term “jehovah” appeared when christian scholars took the consonants of “yahweh” and pronounced it with the vowels of “adonai.” this resulted in the sound “yahowah,” which has a latinized spelling of “jehovah.” the first recorded use of this spelling was made by a spanish dominican monk, raymundus martini, in 1270.. interestingly, this fact is admitted in much jehovah’s witness literature, such as their aid to bible understanding (p. 885).

I've always thought people were way to fixated on it. I speak English. That made up God from the Hebrews, in English, is pronounced Jehovah. I could give a rats ass on how it was pronounced in Israel 3000 years ago, with some dead language that no one speaks.
