Can I withdraw a Disassociation?
by Woman know your place ini'm new to the site, and wonder can anyone advise me..... two years ago i decided to leave the jws, and when i met with the elders to inform them, they told me they had grounds to disfellowship me (i told them i doidnt believe in god and had slept with my boyfriend.....for full story see my profile).
at the time i thought that telling them would just mean that i could get on with my life and they would know that i was not a jw... i thought that you could only df a person who wilfully sinned against god.... well i didnt believe in god, so how could i wilfully sin against him?
anyway, as i said, the elders wanted to df me, and, not wanting to be seen as a sinner, i wrote a letter of disassociation detailing my reasons for not believing ahead of the dfing.. so did the elders have grounds to df me?

WT expansion and enslavement of the 3rd world...
by cyber-sista inas some of you know i still receive some of those dopey jw forwards from those who are trying to encourage me to come back to the organization.
this recent one i received was a bit more informative as to the workings of the organization.
i don't think this sister knows who passed this one on to her and i'm sure it wasn't meant to go out over the whole internet.

The Hooks: Which One Did You Bite?
by ezekiel3 ini have a theory that recruited jws (not those born into it) all have a specific reason why they converted.
i also believe that it is still these "hooks" that keep them going - in the face of so many facts that prove jws are ridiculously wrong.
for those who were raised a jw: was there a hook besides the negative "you will lose your life, family and friends?".

Once Anointed, Always Anointed?
by Sweetp0985 inmaybe this is a questions i should be asking a active jw but they wouldnt like my question after their answer.
because i was reading an article that was talking about jesus came in 1918 or something to that matter, so more cockamamy s**t. but how do they feel about if an "anointed" person turns away from jehovah are they still considered anointed?
like for instance someone has been partaking of the emblems and for some weird reason they get df'd or just decide to stop taking the emblems.

July 4th , the great JW holiday?
by ezekiel3 inall my life as a jw in the us, my parents shuttled us off to the fireworks, to sit among the worldlings and the waving flags to enjoy the show.
this was an almost universal practice with elders and pioneers as well.
as a child, i always noted that what we (jws) were doing was no different than how anyone else celebrated the 4th.
