Has a wrong disfellowshipping ever been reversed?
by lostnotfound inim not talking about simply being reinstated.
i remember hearing a story about a brother that was disfellowshipped because of the testimony of two false witnesses.
years passed before they admitted to lying about the brother and was reinstated.. what is policy in this sort of situation?

Jehovah's Witnesses: not even wrong?
by slimboyfat inin school we had a goofy teacher who used to make fun of some of the wrong answers we would give.
if they were really bad his ultimate put down would be to say that our answer was "not even wrong".
little did i know at the time this is actually a technical term coined by a theoretical physicist for a statement that is not susceptible to falsification, we just took it to mean that our answer was very wrong indeed.. the more i move away from the jw mindset the more i find myself disagreeing, not only with the answers jws give on various issues, but the questions themselves that frame the debate.

The Loving Disfellowshipping Arrangement
by headisspinning inmy youngest sister is the only person in my jw family who has had any real contact with my husband and i and our baby.
for the first year she cut us off too but then after a while she seemed to realize how horrible it was and she opened up to us.. well, she is very easily influenced by the family and so she cut us off again.
she tried to feed me the line about it being for our own good blah, blah, blah.. here is an excerpt from how i replied:.

Who are they trying to Convince?
by Frank75 inrecently the father of one of my old jw friend's father, who was a holocaust survivor, died.....he was a devout jw but hated the bethel hierarchy and the pharisism in the watchtower, openly disagreed with published positions and defied the eldership.. he once lamented to me that the people who wanted his information and memorabilia from the nazi concentration camp "are apostate makers, teaching people to hate jehober and his organ....ization".....and "i will never get the stuff back".
anyway, you all know how jw funerals work.
they usually take weeks in order to schedule and drum up enough support to make it "an occasion".. although not always the case, the funeral is more or less an infomercial where the jw's use the time to further indoctrinate their unique beliefs.

by easyreader1970 inlast night, during the congregation bible study, the conductor (overseer?

he said that he googled the (original) meaning of the word avatar and it was of hindu religious origin.
