hey everyone,.
for those of you who don't know my story.
i had a messy divorce i lost custody of my son in 2011 age 9yrs after four years of court battles to get him back i couldn't do anymore.. yesterday my wonderful son had an upsetting day as our contact was cancelled.
Hi Kate! I'm glad you and your son's bond continues to strengthen dispite all you both have been through. It will be just a little while longer.
That's an awesome song your son sent you. He is a smart boy and seeing through what your ex is doing you both.
although df'd for almost 20 years my very much still a jw mother and i would have a discussion about my return to the org .
from time to time.
that ended when i revealed myself to be an apostate.
I am sorry for your disagreement. It is sad that they will not allow themselves to look at things differently.
here's a link to a brief but good, four-minute piece on jehovah's witnesses.
wdiv in detroit filmed it.
there's a place for comments so please add helpful info.
Thanks for posting.
according to new, officially published guidelines, jws can now shun a person who has not been disfellowshipped from the congregation.
i see this guideline being abused by many jws who have an axe to grind with a fellow jw.
for example, let's say sister peinindiass rubs sister sensitive the wrong way.
I also would like to see these new guidelines. Is there a link or is this from the new videos?
our families have cut off contact with us for the last several months.
they found out that we were celebrating holidays with our non-witness family.
our families were our last tie to the organization, as our former friends stopped associating with us about 3 years ago.
I also missed the original post. Great letter!
all convention videos in english and all talk outlines for download.

Thanks. Great job!
hi everyone, a bit of an update here on my continuing disaster of a situation.. (refer to my previous posts for the full story) my mom met with me yesterday for dinner, it was nice.. however, she brought up the fact that because i live with my boyfriend and how everything has gone down, i will be disfellowshipped.. i think the elders basically have enough proof of this.. due to the anonymous tipper (still have no clue who it was, i live in another town 100's of miles away from my old congregation territory), and my mom telling them.
i'm not sure when they will announce it, or if they will contact me prior.. at this point i feel so emotionally dead i don't care- on the other hand, i don't want to be disfellowshipped because i do not want to loose a relationship with my mom.
that is the whole reason i tried fading out.. .
I am so sorry this is happening to you.
This is sickening. Thanks for posting Wifi!
the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.
it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?
the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.
I am glad they addressed beards being allowed in other countries. It will hopefully give JW's a different perspective. Many look down on men with beards as rebels, even though they hold no position and are not baptized.
I know a young man that has been asserting his right to wear his beard. Many of his close JW friends and family made an issue of it, viewing him as being rebellious although he was not baptized and have no privledges. He used the scripture in Lev. to his defense but they still felt the need to make little slick comments regarding shaving his beard off or how he would look better without it. It wasnt until a family member spoke to a Circuit Overseer and he said to leave the boy alone, did they start to give him a little respect.
did you read this study articel in which the slave says it is not appointed yet?.
excerpt from study articel 13 7/15 p 8. so there is good reason for us to understand matthew 24:46, 47 to mean that jesus will arrive to appoint the faithful slave over all his belongings at that time in the future during the great tribulation.
