Disassociation Rules Reaffirmed...???

KissAFish

Just wondering if this was only a localised event...but knowing the WTS it mustn't be.... I heard thru fellow ex dub... that there was a big HOOOOHAH talk about associating with disassociated and disfellowed jw's..Everyone had "explained" to them the rules regarding"bad associations"...the WTS stand on this is meant to be firming up even more.... My lovely JW sister, who by the way never wants to answer any queries, told me when I asked why the need for more policing, she said if i attacked her"faith" shed have to limit her "association" with me...I gave her a razzberry and said,.naaah... I am not Ds'd or D'ad.. but she said that doesnt matter either...???it just seems like an extra excuse for emotional black mail to me... Did anyone else hear of these talks..>???

Hi KissAFish,

(Just don't kiss a Piranha fish!)

That would explain why I have been getting the cold shoulder from the active ones I had been talking to.

I heard that the elder that gave the part had somebody answer that "just as with the prodigal son.." Well, the elder stated that NOW the Faithful slave has more understanding on the way to handle disfellowshipped ones and that would basically superscede any thing that prodigal son's father might have done.

Yeah..? I think it is called ..closing ranks... too much "outside views" may make you question your faith....My sister seems on the precipice..she has doubts......but dismisses them....and says "it is so easy to leave", I think in the reverse they make it so hard for people to leave as does every cult...

So, by extension, the 'faithful slave' knows better than Jesus who gave the parable? Good point, minimus.
