The history of disfellowshipping in the WTS
by greendawn indoes any one know how the history of disfellowshipping arose and unfolded in the jws?
i have the impression that it started after rutherford died though he would very occasionally expel his troublesome opponents as "enemies of jehovah's people".
it was also rare in russell's days as far as i know.

Joined as Adults--How has your thinking changed?
by lonelysheep inhow has your thinking changed from growing up worldly, to joining jw's, and back to normalcy again?
i began studying at 21 and stopped at 25, without getting baptized.
i no longer seek out anything to satisfy my inner self.

Sunday service
by dothemath in.
it used to be quite common for people to go out in field service on sundays after the meeting.........and even fairly regularly on some evenings.. in our hall, this has turned into a bit of a charade..........it's always announced there will be a meeting for service, etc.
etc............but no one at all goes out........not even the brother taking the arrangement.. i don't think many spend their evenings doing this anymore either.. is this what is happening in other congregations?

Need evidence of others with "god's holy spirit"!
by bythesea ini sent my husband off for the week with a 7 page letter outlining some of the isssues i have with the wts.
its been a long time coming!
the letter went into a lot of different areas, touching on all the big points and admitted how fearful i have become of sharing this information with him or anyone else because of not wanting to lose my friends and family over it all.

All that Witness potential
by mjarka911 ini just had an opportunity to donate to a friend's avon breast cancer walk and i was reading her reasons to get involved.
it made me think that not getting involved in charities was one of the things that never sat right with me when i was in the org.
but since then, i've loved donating and being active to help others.
