I'm disfellowshipped, and I will partake at the Memorial.................
by Fruitcake inwell, nisan 14 is rolling around again, and i am going to partake at the memorial.. when i was a goodstanding jw last year, i really thought of the relationship i had with the christ, and partook, and they all had a cow.
but i had a good standing, so they pretty much left me alone.... well, surprise!!
i am now disfellowshipped, and some inner voice tells me to go back there one last time and partake, i am not doing this to be a pain, but to show the new congregation that i had belonged to, who i am, and to give others the courage to examine themselves, and their personal relationship with the christ.. i believe disfellowshipping is unscriptural, so i am confidant!!

New to the Site
by Nitefire inhi all,,just found the site the other day and was quiet amazed, shocked and saddened all at once.
i guess thats expected when the wts organisation is run by humans, not abiding in various cases to the bible teaching.. its hearting to seen that so-called witnesses would treat their own/people is such manner as brought out on this site, to me they are not witnesses to jehovah, my family have gone through similar experiences where elders sought to make a mess out of nothing and cause grief to us that was not needed resulted in a dissoiation from the wts.. my family is now living the way they want to and not reflecting back on what occured there, i sleep easy at night knowing that thoses misleading will be judged and all have to render account to god.
i belive in the bible and even tho the wts screwed up on numerous accounts they still have the truth, other than other religions i know and looked in to.

Is This The Party to whom I am Speaking?
by CoonDawg inwell, i called jw hq today.
in the conversations that i had with the elders that were privy to the details of my daughter's molestation case, they assured me that they "had been in contact w/ hq.
" now either this is total bs, or the society directed them to not go to the law, as required.

bttt - don't be rude!
by Elsewhere inlmao... something just occured to me.... for the longest time i thought that "bttt" was the spelling for a rude sound made with the mouth.
i kept seeing it in the sex abuse threads and thinking, "that is so rude... why is that person doing that on such an important thread?".
then i saw someone use the phrase "bump to the top" and it all suddenly made sence!

Let me try again.. Just a lurker who is going "public". Saying "HI" What a
by Its so simple ini have been a jw for more than 10 years and less than 30. i'm not naive about the ways of the borg.
i was a hot shot jw at one time, one of the few that enjoyed 90% acceptance from my audience.
this is one of the things that has brought me some trouble.

First time caller, long time lurker
by Gollum infinally, guilt at just being a lurker has driven me onto the board.
not that i feel i have much to add, but did want to extend my appreciation for much of the information and insight i have received from many of the posters here.. i suppose some brief synopsis of my story should be forthcoming.
its very similar to many of stories i have read here.. was raised in the truth ,third generation on both sides.

Kingdom Hall Alarm codes.
by JEMIMAH injust back from renovating my holiday home in the south west of france.
beats yorkshire anyday.... anyway thought i would share this little account with you.. as most are of you are aware, the alarm code for about 90% of kingdom halls is 1914 (nineteen fourteen).. i t seems though that for the last 8 or 9 quick builds or refurbs in the uk, the brother who installed the numbers into the alarm control panel used the numbers 1975 and explained the number as one nine seven five not the the easier version (ninteen seventy five).. trivial joke or honest mistake, either way this poor brother has been rumbled and has to to meet with 2 elders investigating on behalf of a body of elders to see whether an apostasy charge will be brought.. he is supposed to be meeting with them over the next few days.. .
a very sad jem, who is sick of the whole elder abuse game.
