  i have read many stories here about those who have been disfellowshiped.

  they express the pain of the experience, and the emotional trauma they experience.

  i have to ask a question.

  Poll Suggests World Is Hostile Toward Great Britain

  since simon has proven everyone thinks poorly of the united states of america, it might be good to state the polls that we have seen lately, in the states.

  actually, the headlines of newspapers and/or magazines are acceptable too.

  here's one headline:" england sucks up to bush again!

  visits to inactive ones is there any directives recieved by elders

  by quinah in

  i know i might have asked this before, but have the elders ever had any directive on visiting inactive ones with a view to finding out their current situation/feelings on being a witness, and then using a negative response as an "excuse" for disassociating them or disfellowshipping them?

  i thought i had read some where that there had been a push on visiting inactive ones with a view to doing the above.

  i have just mentioned this to the in-laws who are still in the borg, and they asked another elder who denys the fact that this would be done.

  there are the meetings, field service, personal study time, etc.. but, there was much time spent getting ready, getting dressed for the meetings, driving time, getting undressed out of those horrible meeting clothes, the time spent socializing before and after, coffee breaks during service.

  5 hours of meetings.

  5 hours.

  new rules concerning disfellowshipping/ disassociating after you have stopp

  by quinah in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi everyone i have just joined this forum and wondered if anyone else has heard of the rule that if you are inactive, which i have been for the last 4-5 years, that they have a new rule of you either become active again or you have to disassociate yourself, or they can disfellowship you?

  is this correct, and does anyone know if there is a time limit that you can be disfellowshipped say up to 5 years after you stop going to meetings?

  please help!

  i was wondering how long it took for all of you to leave the org.

  how active were you and for how long while knowing the "truth" was not the truth.

  i ran into an old friend last week.

  Watchtower = Pharisees

  by drwtsn32 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wts always talks about how wrong it was for the pharisees to make an endless number of rules.

  but the wts is guilty of the same thing.

  you can't have a beard... you can't watch rated r movies... you must report your field service activity... you cannot go to costume parties... you can have some blood fractions but not whole blood... you can't read any stuff that is against our opinion... yadda yadda yadda.. my mom (an active jw) argues that theses are not rules but only guidelines.
