  so oompa got df'd this week...

  no call to invite me to a committee meeting...no notification of deciding i should be df'd....no telling my jw wife of the announcement...not a chance to appeal what i did not even know what was going on...my mini-serve son is devasted....he even researched it....told me to go to page 153-154 of the od book...never heard of it but it is a green hardback given to all who are to be baptized.

  wow...the elders broke every rule in this book as to my case.... i have no respect for these men that can take away your jw family without even telling you they are going to.

  my jw son has now begged me to meet with my committee...even though there is prob zero chance they can reverse the decision...that chance is from when they let you know...and you have to appeal by letter within 7 days (i cant make this stuff up!!

  Would it be poor taste to find out who these elders were that were on his committee and send then a note saying

  "How does it feel to share responsibility to someone taking their own life?"

  The best way to help any JW out is to remain active

  attacking from the outside will always prove to be unproductive.

  it is more effective to remain inside the domain while raising people's consciousness and letting them see all the flaws behind the farce.

  i have tried it and i have gotten 47 people out in 6 months, while i am still seen as a publisher in good standing.. .

  Jwfacts, Why Do You Equate Miracles With Magic?

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a question for the author of the website jwfacts.

  as i was reading the sparlock article, i couldn't help but notice something seriously wrong:.

  "the bible abounds in vivid fantasy, such as its many celestial descriptions, or the portrayal of warring kingdoms with imaginary beasts.. the sparlock message is confusing, as much for an adult as for a child, as the bible shows that god's followers practice magic, even if they are usually referred to as miracles.

  Magic=spooky shit that "bad" people with an invisible diety's help

  Magic("Miracles")=spooky shit that "righteous" people do with an invisible diety's help

  WTF is the difference?
