Ever hear convincing testimony that d'f'ing is a "loving arrangement"?
by Happy Harvester injust wondering, cuz it's so often espoused by those doing the shunning that disfellowshipping is a "loving arrangement," and there must be tons of "testimonial" literature from the borg saying so; however, when i was a jw, i don't recall ever once hearing a previously d'f''ed one giving witness to how loving it was.

Hi Happy,
I'm afraid I bought into that garbage when I was a JW and actively participated in shunning DF'd ones There are three that immediately come to mind - but I haven't now seen them for many years so can't even apologise for my past actions.
JWs call that love. I'd rather have a pocketful of spiders!!

Hello again, Ian,
You may recall that while no-one in the cul-de-sac is interested in JWism there is an elder living approx 200 yards up on the corner. During my illness he never bothered to walk down to enquire as to how I was, nor 'phone or send a card - and we'd been friends for years!! Frankly, I couldn't care less - but his actions said more to the neighbours than anything I could say
In the 15 years I was a baptised JW I never (apart from immediate family) managed to get anyone to become a JW. What a GREAT relief!!
Love to Bubble!

Who on this Board would love to get rid of Organized Religion?
by restrangled inimho....it all needs to go.
its influencing everything in this world every and anywhere.
from the saudies, to the people in irag, iran and anywhere else our sons will need to be sent.. our current president claims he is influenced along with the former prime minister of england by religious beliefs.. there is the huge evangelical influence that got bush and the mess he made who put them in to begin with.. we have the jw's causing absolute havic in anyone's lives connected with this stupidity.. it goes on and on and on.

Trygon:
I am with Dansk. funkyderek is what we call:
It's good to have your support, but Funky is a great guy and by no means biased. When you've been on the forum longer you'll realise what a wonderfully intelligent person he is. We've actually met and my opinion of him has gone even higher (not that he'll remember, I believe he was pi**ed at the time).

Hi Ian,
Good job!
Eryn has had some success, too! http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/147497/1.ashx
I suppose my own success would be that no one in the cul-de-sac where I live, and which you've visited, will have anything to do with JWs - especially after I told them what they did to my family!

Ian:
Great news for me is that my daughter (who lives with her mum, my ex) wants to come round on Christmas day to join in - that is a first for me and I am overjoyed.
Great news indeed! Claire and I are really pleased for you all.
Gilberto:
She was brought up a JW and loves Christmas, so glad our little one doesn't have to miss out.
Also, he has a part in the nursery Nativity, I am going to be so proud and I reckon we will shed a tear or too.
Overjoyed at your news, too!
Pioneer:
I'll start a topic on how to make these awesome colored glass ornaments. . .
Wonderful idea!
Gill:
Hilarious post!
I want to put the Christmas Tree, fully lit and brightly decorated in the bay window room where it can be seen by all and sundry
We always put ours in one of the bay windows, with lights up above both bay windows outside. If I could understand better how to post a photograph here I'd photo the tree for all to see. We always have a Victorian theme about it, so the colours are more red and bronze. Claire always decorates it and it looks beautiful!

Stephen Bates, "Demob Happy"
by IT Support inin another thread someone recently mentioned that stephen bates is no longer the guardian's religious affairs correspondent.
(stephen bates wrote the articles that exposed the scandal of wt's un affiliation.
) so, when i came across this article yesterday, i was interested to see what he said.. in this article he wrote for new humanist, stephen bates explains why he gave up this job:.

Besides some pretty unpleasant people, I also met some inspirational ones, working selflessly and often obscurely in the world, motivated not by ambition or for reward but by their faith. This is not to be sneered at.
Amen!
IT, Stephen doesn't anywhere say he's now an atheist. He actually says he still considers himself a Catholic.

JWs WILL LOVE THIS NEWS!
by Dansk inblood cell transfusions 'up risk' most transfusions are not given in life-threatening circumstancesred blood cell transfusions given to heart surgery patients could increase their risk of heart attack or stroke, research suggests.
the transfusions are designed to improve the delivery of oxygen to the body's tissues.
but researchers found patients who received a transfusion had a three-fold increase in complications linked to lack of oxygen.
