  Is this a true statement? Elders that are DF will be reinstated much quicker than the average publisher.

  a few of the young sisters in the congregation.

  Just got an apology from an exJW

  by Village Idiot in

  so i'm back from the store walking to my apartment, over a hundred units in the complex - all jws and ex-jws - and i see someone talking to an ex-jw neighbor of mine.

  she turns around and says "now there's some else i have to apologize to".. she identified herself as an old neighbor who used to play as a jw child right by my place.

  she had told me how she was raised to consider me and all the ex-jws in the apartment complex as evil and thought she had to apologize for that.. made my day.

  I apologized my best friend before I became a door knocker, he ask me to be his best man in

  his wedding.I also apologized to my non-JW family members, I was a know it all and they knew nothing

  about the bible. I apologized to my sons for almost destroying their life.

  Apologies are good if you were a jerk.

  a elder in this system. Of course this was before 1975.

  Today I know of two brothers that was df for the same thing(adultery) and within two years they were

  df and reappointed as elders.

  Ok, so how can one be appointed an Elder with a unbelieving mate? I knew a brother that

  was appointed a elder and his wife was a very faithful church member.

  Not meeting with the elders will not make a difference, they can still DF you.

  whats so bad about believing people go to heaven?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it occurred to me today, that so often, my mother will make the comment that .

  "those false religions teach that everyone is going to heaven when they die, oh sure, .

  all you have to do is be a good person, and off you go to heaven.

  "Inhabited by righteous people". Put a designer label on some clothes, and million of people

  will pay insane prices for them. It's all in the name. Group identities are no different. Embracing

  them makes you feel special. Out of all the possible forms of group identity, none are as strong as religion.

  JW's are at the top of the list, we will live forever but you folks will be toasted. We are special and we

  have special knowledge, heaven would suck for those who are not called. JW view of heaven is

  not that appealing.

  $10 per pub. Money begging session last night

  by StarTrekAngel in

  2. beliefs

  last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.

  elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).

  he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.

  Bonnie your comment brings to mind something that was mention in the past few days,

  Wounded Warrior project. The money received from donation for the purpose in aiding these

  heroic veterans is under investigation. Greed steps in..
