  this dub--a good friend of mind, actually--is trying to convince me to go to the elders because i serve alcohol to underage adults (19- and 20-year-olds).

  *sigh* if only he knew...

  A Secret about DF'ing that Elders will not tell you.

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the big issues affecting ex-jws is being shunned by their close relatives.

  this can be especially painful for parents, children or siblings.

  the jw relative may even make some exceptions to associate in the name of "necessary" business, but then later on their conscience "pricks" them, and they realize that they have pushed the envelope too much and they withdraw their association altogether ... or ... the society comes out with some article or the co comes to town, and manage to ding on some issue that make jws feel guilty about associating with df'd and da'd relatives.

  Could NASA's Galileo Create A Jovian Nagasaki?

  by SYN in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  .

  and, in your crank news update for this week, here's a very interesting little article...it seems bogus to me, but the question had to be asked by somebody.. i know that there are a few people on this site who will take this ball and run with it, so to speak, so tell us what you think.. my personal theory is, won't the plutonium on galileo be dispersed by it's re-entry into the atmosphere long before fission can take place!

  but, i'm no nuclear physicist!.

  Are You Surpised By What You Don't Believe In Anymore?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  jehovah's witnesses must "believe" whatever the watchtower bible & tract society publishes.

  now that you aren't forced to accept beliefs that you might not have wholeheartedly endorsed, there must be many different things that you don't accept.....what comes to mind?

  Experience of new elders meeting format.....

  by caspian in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just to let you know that the s2 has come back from london with my deletion on it, so i expect it to be announced on thursday, it will be interesting to see how "my brothers and sisters" treat me.

  anyway with regards to my experience to the new format of elders meetings.... some of you may be aware of the change to the format announced at the the elders seminar 2002 and in the subsequent letter, regarding the handling of an elder whose child has been involved in serious conduct.. basically the change is that a special elders meeting is held, where the elder is questioned by the body on why he thinks his child got into trouble?

  was it his fault?
