  .....and i'm out....

  by red so deep in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, after a 4.5 hour long judicial meeting with my local elders i found out i'll be df'ed here in about a week and a half.

  i don't think it was so much my offense (smoking ciggs and weed) but my attitude.

  the elders were trying to draw out some repentance, but i was pretty straightforward about the politics and hypocrisy in the org, especially in the case of the neighboring congregations elder body, who seem to be on a witch hunt for me and my friends....when one of the elders asked my how i felt my actions affected jehovah, i brought out that example in the old testament where the boys were making fun of the bald priest or prophet, then he got pissed and called down evil on them *in the name of jehovah* and the she-bears devoured the poor kids.

  crazy weekend....am i going to hell????

  by red so deep in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, so i'm not going to go into specifics but this weekend was a bit crazy and i did something i could easily get df'ed for...but the thing is, i don't really feel bad about it!

  being raised in the org, your always taught that "wrongdoing" is inevitably attached with unbearable guilt but i'm not really feeling that right now...i'm not sure if i'm just a bad immoral person or whats going on....

  Most JW prove satan told the truth

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  satan said to jehovah "they only serve you, cos of what they can get out of you" or words to that effect.

  this is only my opinion but what do you think?.

  a few : i believe serve god cos they love him.. some: they want to see someone they love who has died again.

  i took my niece to see "the grudge" last night.

  The Will JW kids/students be the next big threat to the Watchtower Society?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the internet has only been around for 10 years, yet it has profoundly changed the way we live, work and entertain ourselves.

  particularly for children, they have readily adapted to this technology so much so, that teachers and educators are finding that their traditional based curriculums are leaving kids bored.

  these are the kids who are used to surfing, instant messenging and downloading digital music.

  ??the flood of noah's day....evolution?? can you take the bible literally

  lately in my research on the subject of the feasability of taking the bible literally, i ran across this very interesting article about the flood.

  this website has some other great resources if the evolution/creation debate interests you, as well as some thought provoking articles on jw belief here:.

  friend getting DFed tonight and my upcoming meeting....

  by red so deep in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well it looks like my friend's dfing is getting announced tonight.

  she decided not to try an appeal because she really doesn't want the stress of telling the story all over again, and she's heard horror stories from one of her friends that was dfed about 12 elder appeal committies and whatnot.

  i've really been trying to help her out and let her know that it's going to be incredibly difficult but that i'll be there for her even though i'm baptized (when i was 11 years old..great decision...) pretty much all of her friends will be cut off from her, except for the few "worldly" friends she has, but it doesn't sound like her mom will really allow any association with them either.... so we'll see how the weeks ahead turn out... i also have a meeting thursday night with two elders in my hall.

  i can't believe this.....

  by red so deep in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well, looks like one of my best friends is getting df'ed.

  unbelievable.. aah, to begin with, her parents split up when she was about 11 and her dad is more or less a deadbeat who wasn't really a part of her life even when she was suicidal....and her mom is rarely there for her, and sometimes gets drunk and physically abusive.

  her mom remarried and she lives with her and her stepdad who are never at home.
