Any word yet on the Annual Meeting?

by careful in

it's just a week or two away and still no sign of the usual hype?

very strange.... anyone heard anything about it?

perhaps from those still in to some degree or from relatives/friends still in?.

Maybe they ran out of ideas for new light.

PIMO to POMO

by MaybeSo in

ok i'm ready for the transition.

i am not writing anything to anyone or writing some dumb letter.

the calls and visits trying to get me to come back will soon follow, the family guilt trips will intensify, loss of friends- really more like cult member associates, how the hell am i supposed to do this?

Daniel1555

Sorry, what does PIMO and POMO mean?

Arsene Wenger, you are so delusional you could be a member of the GB

by LoveUniHateExams in

it's fun times for us spurs fans.

we're playing great football, are sensible at the back and are beating top teams in england and abroad - teams such as man united, liverpool and real madrid.

we're in the qfs of the fa cup, are progressing nicely in the champions league, and are competing for a top four finish in the premier league.

Of course he is still a great manager.

DF’d or DA???

by DATA-DOG in

so, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.

what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.

i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.

Whatever you do you'll be free of them.

At the moment it certainly needs a lot of strength and courage.

I wish you all the best.

By the way already for many years I love your posts. You can write so funny things that made me laugh many times and also helped in my situation.

I am getting disfellowshipped

by CitizenofEarth in

maybe some of you remember me, maybe not.

for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.

for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.

As promised here is the link to how i answered the loyalty question.

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/281819/answered-fds-loyalty-question-elders-here-their-response

When I think about it now I wasted too much time with the elders.

In the Australian Royal Commission GB member G. Jackson said that you don't need to disassociate or be disfellowshipped. He said that it is possible to be inactive and remain so.

A friend of mine disassociated lately. After they got the letter the elders said he didn't need to take that step. He could have faded.

They are truly hypocrites.

Hi and welcome

It is impressive how courageous you stand in for your inner feelings and conscience. And for sure you are a great friend.

It is very good for you, that you do that at a young age and that you see the moral flaws in this HUMAN organisation.

So now to your case. If they didn't tell you it was a judicial committee, they are just trying to remind you, that you shouldn't have contact with a df'd person. Maybe they will ask some questions to test your loyalty.

They might ask in different ways. "Do you believe the Governing Body is the faithful and discreet slave?" or "Do you believe the organisation is guided by Jehovah?"

If it is not a judicial committee and you want to continue your fade just tell them kindly you don't want to discusd this matter with them.

They have no power at all over you.

I'll give you a link to the thread about the loyalty question and my judicial committee.

I wish you all the best.

You are courageous and strong.

Introduce myself

by dantoole87 in

i'd like share why i went from being a teenager determined to work in full time service for jehovah my entire life, to now being on here commiserating with you all.

i use to be an atheist but i now believe in god.

but i'm not preachy about god.

Daniel1555

Hi Dan

Thanks for your very moving story and welcome.

I was also df'd (apostasy) and went through a difficult divorce. But me and my little boy share the greatest feeling: love; even though his mum tried everything to reduce my time with him and indoctrinate him.

I wish you all the best and recommend to you that you try hard not to lose contact with your daughter and be close to her.

Things You Still Agree With The JWs On

by Fred Franztone in

aside from obvious things that most people agree on, like theft being wrong and the importance of family, i can't think of a single thing i agree with the jws on, nothing that's specific to their religion anyway.

do you have any?.

Daniel1555

The only thing i agree is not to join the military.
