My Aunt Is Told That If She Goes To My Daughter's Wedding She'll Be Deleted

as a regular pioneer and even if she gave a gift, she'd be removed as a pioneer! This woman is 80 years old and has been pioneering for over 40 years. My mother also is a pioneer in a different congregation and she is wondering whether this is a new rule from the Society or is something that the local congregation has decided. TALK ABOUT CONTROL!!!!!......I'm sure that my brother and his family will be told the same thing by the same elders.He just recently got the "Privilege" to pray and read at the bookstudy. As a former Presiding Overseer, I think he must feel humiliated by these power--hungry Pharisees.

Is your daughter df'd or da'd?

Oh Mini that is tragic. Half her life devoted to the org and still not enough. She must feel so conflicted.

Perhaps given her age, you could let her know that you understand her dilemma and send her a video after the wedding? That way she could "be there without being there"?

I am so sorry your daughter's happy day has to come with all this added stress and worry. ((((hugs))))

I don't understand is it a church wedding or is she da'dor dfd.I know of witnesses who went to church weddings and it was considered a matter of conciense I even called the society about this and they said that it was a conciense matter.

sickening, but not surprising. They did the same thing to my cousin's husband for their wedding reception. The hellders in her husband's previous hall (they had a private ceremony and a much later reception) told everyone from his side that if they attended the reception they would be deleted/disciplined/whatever. Only 4 people from his hall came, and I suspect it was because they had nothing to lose anyways. He had pretty much grown up in that hall his whole life. Bastards.

edited to add reason: she (the wife) was not yet baptized, so they said it would be attending a reception for someone who had unevenly yoked themselves to an unbeliever.

My daughter is not dfd. She simply is marrying an unbeliever.

Oh good grief!

What really chaps my butt is that some whipper-snapper has the audacity to treat a woman of this caliber, wisdom, and age with such disreguard and disrespect! I am soooo angry over this.
