  Would You Return To The Organization If You Were Given Total Amnesty?

  if you knew that the policy was that there would be no more witchhunts, no more disfellowshippings or shunning of any kind, would you be tempted to go back?

  The word (gossip) was that a smurf jumped out of a childs arms and ran down the aisle at a neighboring hall. Maybe he didn't like what he was hearing.

  Can an ex elder help me please

  i have been reading the publication, "pay attention to yourself and to all the flock',

  under the subject of the "proper view of disfellowshipped and disassociated persons.

  unit 5 (a), it says, " the principle set forth in jesus' words, at matthew 10:34-38 has a bearing on situations involving disfellowshepped or disassociated relatives.

  Do what is best for your mom and yourself. When I was an elder I can never remember any action taken when it came to association when it involved family members that were d'fed. Elders are told to stay out of family matters, plus what is exactly talked about in conversation is hard to prove.

  FYI--- I was d'fed for associating with a disfellowshipped person, but then again I told the elders to blow it out their butt!!! The person I was hanging out with was a old friend. Funny, the Watchtower has association with the U.N. for nine years and thats O.K., but I'm seen once, and its like I committed the crime of the century.

  did you know that page 99 of "pay attention...." (the elders' manual) states that a person who has not associated for a while is basically exempt from discipline?

  essentially if you attend a judicial hearing or respond to the elders you are admitting accountability to the "christian congregation.

  " therefore, if you walk away from the congregation and simply ignore the elders for long enough and exert no influence on the members, they don't have to pursue you, even if they hear of serious sin.

  A sister was out of the borg for years, yet an elder asked another sister in the cong. to "spy" on her to see if another man was visiting her. She had an "attitude" problem with the local elders, so I'm sure they would of had a JC if they could of.

  Self control

  by trumangirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since fading, i've noticed my 'self-control' is better.

  i mean by that, things that i really believe are wrong or not good for me, i find easier to resist.

  not that i did anything 'gross' before, but just things like being gluttonous, bitchy, dishonest, materialistic, all those things that i don't want to do because i know they have bad consequences but do anyway sometimes (because of being 'imperfect'?).

  Once the pressure cooker called the Watchtower is off your back, life is easier. There is less fustration and guilt trying to live up to others expectations. Your less likely to over the edge without the constant WT nagging. If your at peace with yourself, it easier to be at peace with others. People do not become destined to have less self control because they leave a highly controlled group. We have the power everyday to be in complete control of ourselves.

  If You Could Tell Brooklyn Just One Thing

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you're angry and thoroughly pissed off with all things apertaining to jehovah's witnesses.. you also know that this thread will be read by active jw's.

  some of those jw's will be in the brooklyn bethel right now, reading what you write.. so, is there one thing, one belief, one policy, that, if it were to be changed or anulled, would mollify you?.

  is there one change that they could make that would stop or lessen the active antagonism that you feel against the wt?.
