  Moving Congregations. Am I Allowed To Read The Letter The Elders Write?

  by Diogenes in

  i've just moved congregations (it's the easiest way to keep people off your back!

  ) and the elders have received the letter written about me.. i've asked to read it to make sure there are no inaccuracies but the elders have refused point blank saying i'm not allowed.. i'm certain that under the data protection act i am allowed.. does anybody have any thoughts on this?

  could you point me to anything the society have said?

  DISFELLOWSHIPPED! Can you appeal an appeal?

  if you've been disfellowshipped and had an appeal turned down can you appeal directly to the branch office?.

  does anybody know the procedure on this?.

  would you inform the original committee that disfellowshipped you that you were appealing direct to the branch?.

  my friend has just been disfellowshipped today.... they want to appeal?.

  what are the kinds of things that should be written in an appeal letter?.

  i really appreciate any swift responses, as time is of the essence, due to the pesky 1 week rule!.

  Disproving An Earthly Paradise

  2. bible

  two elders are coming round to "shepherd" me next week.. i've been reading the article available by jon mitchell?

  about rev:7 discussing the 1980 w.t which is full of lies about naos and hieron.. i'm going to bring this w.t up but i know the elders will mention the scriptures in psalms 37 and isaiah to prove that there is an earthly paradise.. is there a good logical way to refute these scriptures?.

  W.T January 1, 2006

  just reading through the january 1st w.t 2006. the first study article (starting on page 20) "how firm is your trust in god?

  " has another dig at higher education.. paragraph 7.

  "anyone who does not trust firmly in jehovah might think differently.the majority of humans view material wealth as a major key to security.hence, parents have encouraged their offspring to invest much of their young adulthood in higher education, hoping that it will prepare them for well-paying careers.sadly some christian families have found the cost of such an investment to be very high, as their children have lost spiritual focus and turned to pursuing materialistic goals".
