And he is not disfellowshipped because?
No witnesses, and we can't break the two-witness rule (unless it's convenient).
When I first read this, I was in shock that they still attend the same KH. SMDH

What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?
by Funchback inin the u.s., three's company was not allowed.
it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.
the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

That's a great analogy. I always likened their structure to a plantation (owner, slave overseer, slaves), but it wouldn't fit with the abuse part. Yours is much better. xx

Ten years out.....
by snare&racket ini'm not sure how useful this post will be, but i feel compelled to write it.
with many of my older posts, i wrote them with a younger jw version of me in mind.
with this i write it with a younger newly ex jw in mind.. ten years ago i went to my presiding overseer and told him my concerns about wt owning 'rand cam' military stocks, about unfulfilled prophecy and human error in the governing body and the theocratic consequences of such.

Are JW Celebrities Getting paid to say they are JW?
by Luther bertrand ini have always wondered why prince and michael jackson stayed in good standing for some of the stuff they released as jws?
or how the williams sisters could stay in sports without all the bs?
after all the revelations about the org that i have heard... i wonder if they are paid and the reason they get away with it is that they are pr strategies and really they could give a crap about the org?

That is creepy.
Edit: Checked my PC history, and it's there. Not a breach of the DB, but maybe of my PC. I have had some problems recently.

This, from the CDC:
People aged 50 and older have many of the same HIV risk factors as younger people, but may be less aware of their risk.
People aged 55 and older accounted for one-quarter of all Americans living with HIV in 2012.
Older Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV infection later in the course of their disease.

What's the point?
by punkofnice ini mean, i don't want to be miserable or anything, but what's the bloody point of it all?.
since i left the watchtower cult, i have come to realise that god cannot possibly exist...and if a god exists...god is indifferent to humankind as the least.. in 100 years time i'll be gone.
kaput.

"Let the women keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject themselves, just as the Law also says. And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church." (NASB, 1 Cor. 14:34-35)
