My brother is not worthy....

My disfellowshipped brother and his likewise disfellowshipped friend attended memorial tonight but were not passed the emblematic wine??!!?? What were they trying to tell him? Is he is not worthy of the sacrificial significance of Christ's blood? What were they trying to tell him? This is STRANGER THAN FICTION!!!! These assholes never cease to amaze me!!

This isn't as rare as you might think.

It also happened to me, at the Memorial in 1994. I was not disfellowshipped, nor disassociated. I attended all the meetings. I was regular in field service. Our home was used for the book study and field service arrangements. I was, however, suffering from postpartum depression.

When it became painfully obvious that it was decided in advance that I would not be allowed to handle the emblems, I ended up in the hospital because I was ready to kill myself and save Jehovah the trouble of destroying me at Armageddon TM .

I have never been to another Memorial since then. I can do without JWs brand of "love".

Love, Scully

That is terminally crappy. My DF mom attended service some time ago and she was allowed to handle the wine cup & tray.

I'll just say they have very bad manners, you don't invite someone over to your house and then make them feel unwelcomed.

This is the "Love" of the "Christian" congregation who feel they have a right to take it into their own hands what people can and cant do.

Maybe this tells your brother not to bother attending anymore.

scully: you have mail..

mattnoel: that's exactly what my brother said to me when he told me about it.

manon: good point!

More Pharisiac behavior. You can just fele the love.

Scully, what happened in your case was ridiculous. It's certainly understandable that you did not want to attend again.

After two years on this site, I've heard every type of complaint against the witnesses you can imagine in great and wondrous variety.

The one complaint that I hear the most, by far, by orders of magnitude, is that they are unbelieveably unloving. I can attest to being on the business end of the unloving behavior at the hands of my formerly loving family myself.

But isn't it strange that the one thing by which Jesus said his disciples would make themselves known, is the very thing that JWs lack. It's one thing to claim to be loving, however the word is father to the deed and I see no love in the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses.

I begrudge each and every second of my life that I wasted among those Pharisees.

I am ashamed to say that I have in the past defended the shunning policy. I apologize to all of you who are being shunned by your friends and family.

JWs are not supposed to judge others yet they do so by shunning people. How sad is that!!

They would actually witness to murderers and choose not to talk to or say much as hello to a DF'd or DA'd person!!!!!!!!

Where was my heart and brain?
