Grading of Disfellowshipping Offenses
by RAYZORBLADE injust putting this out to you.. have you encountered, or noticed on occasion how what you were disfellowshipped for, also dictates who will associate with you, post-jw?
yes, i'm talking about those beloved ex-jws/df'd/da'd/apostates.. by that, i mean, if you were, let's say, disfellowshipped for scriptural/doctrinal issues, perhaps in the ex-jw world, you hold yourself or others of that ilk, in higher esteem?.
those that were disfellowshipped for smoking, heavy drinking or drug use, perhaps as previously not strong people.. those that were disfellowshipped for sexual misconduct: (file under: other) and similar to the above.. it's interesting.

Good to see you posting again Ray, might even manage to have another beer with you again soon if everything goes to plan......
I think this is a really good topic, I've seen some comments recently where people have been judged for the circumstances that led to them being df'd, but I remember the stress I was under when I got df'd and I went on to do a lot of things which I now regret. I'm glad I wasn't on them, but instead on me as a person.
I don't even know ehat class people would put me into anyway, I got df'd after the PO discovered I was having anal sex with his daughter (my fiance).............

How many have survived COC ?
by vitty ini am desperate to get the book coc into the hands of my daughter and her husband, just trying to find a way.. it got me thinking i wonder how many active jws could read that book and still stay in the org ?.
it had such an impact on my life and others i know.
i had never even heard of such a book.

I know of a Sister who has read CoC and is still faithful. Her sister is an apostate, and she has discussed points from the book with my brother (DA'd), but is not bothered by the contents and still faithful.
When I personally read it it didn't have that much of an impact on me, it just reinforced what I had already thought and seen for myself.
The books that really made me think were George Orwells 'Animal Farm' and '1984'. The book that really blew me away was Steve Hassans 'Combatting cult mind control', I only read this a few months ago after being out for over 2 yrs. I've since ordered a few more books on group dynamics and am considering going on to study it properly.

Hey Gordy - did you ever know anyone from the Kirkby cong?
I used to know quite a few from that part of merseyside, but mainly from the Bromborough Congregation. How long ago did you move from there?

Divorce after 20 years ?
by oldflame ini was talking to a friend the other day, he told me that he wanted to get married but there was a problem with that.
he told me that he and his wife split over 20 years ago and he does not know where she is.
he said he has looked and cannot find her so he can file divorce papers.

In the UK that would not be a problem, but it depend on what the laws are in your state.
In the UK there are a few different criteria you can get granted a divorce;
- Adultery
- Unreasonable behavior
- Being seperated for over 2 years with both partners agreeing to divorce
- Being seperated for over 7 years even if one partner is not contactable or contests the divorce
There is another on too but I can't remember what it is. I represented myself for my divorce in the UK courts in 2001.
