when i walked away from the borg, i was under the impression that after six months of being inactive .
that my publisher card was trashed.
actually, i was told this by an elder.
When I walked away from the Borg, I was under the impression that after six months of being inactive
that my publisher card was trashed. Actually, I was told this by an elder. Anyone know what the deal
is on how long they keep them? I wonder what the Borg policy is?
lately, i feel more and more disturbed over everything the watchtower stands for.
i can't stomach the jws.
i can't tolerate their pettiness.
I have a sister that will not speak to me, it's been close to 10 years.
I've never been DF'd or DA'd, but because I will not go to meetings she'll
have nothing to do with me......Christ like wouldn't you say.
Now that my wife has just left the borg they may come gunning
for both of us. Had an elder in her congregation leave a message and
would like to sit and talk with both of us...........I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!
I think the elders in her {{OLD}} congregation are wondering if I have my wife
tied up in a closet. I've twisted her mind is what they are thinking.
if you knew that the policy was that there would be no more witchhunts, no more disfellowshippings or shunning of any kind, would you be tempted to go back?
Best news of my life.......the wife has left the JW's .
It's beem just about 2 months but she has had it out
with her parents and her missionary sister. Now there
are no walls between us....ya!
What the Lord has brought together let no man ( or
organization ) bring apart. I lost a lot when I left the
JW's but KNOW I have the world.

I don't know about amnesty, but my dad is bugging me to make a showing at this year's memorial.
Nothing like a good old head count to make the Society feel good.
Of course I haven't been to a meeting in 12 years ......guess he thinks
that once a year will save my eternal life
excuse me if i ramble...this is hard.
i have even avoided threads in the past where others have had to go thru this because i didn't want to face it.
guess i'm a wuss.
Take heart, death always brings sadness. We lose the person but our feelings for them go on.
They themselves return to him that is the source of all life. I do believe,
though they are dead in the flesh, they do live again.
My condolences to you and your mother.

Thank you Seeitall....
I'm going to enjoy this format.
okay everyone, pop open your bottles of beer and tip it to friday!
woo hoo!
Dam, no beer hear. I'll just have a tall ice cold Diet Coke.
That will hit the spot!

Thank you for the welcome Minimus.
I've been in the wilderness for 12 years...religiously that is.
Wouldn't even pick up a bible all that time. Couldn't read it
without think the JW way. Now I read it as a child and as if it were
written to me. I was sold into slavery by my father. He was a Catholic than
converted to JW in the earily 1960's. Why would I want to go
back as a slave....... FREE that's what I am.......!
It's been a hard road to freedom....

It would be like going back and sitting in a mud puddle.
I don't think so.....No way!
no - not by jehovah's witnesses.
there seems to be no clear line from the society on how much preaching needs to be done before the "end".
the "stones would cry out" principle is sometimes aluded to but i was/am a little vague on the official line.
I believe that it will, but only in the hearts of men that comes
with an understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ and his message
contained in the bible. Read the Bible!
