disassociated without baptism
by detective ini believe there was a topic about disfellowshipping an unbaptized person awhile back but i can't remember enough of the details to find it.. i was speaking with a friend yesterday who was disassociated as a young teenager, complete with a reading to the congregation and shunning, despite the fact that this person was never baptized.. (i tipped my hand a bit by blurting out that they aren't supposed to be able to do that if you aren't baptized.
way to go, smartie!
nice way to play it cool with how much research this non-jw has done, but that's beside the point.).

Suggestion for improved witnessing...
by detective inah yes, i was rummaging around jack chick's website and couldn't help but realize how mr. chick knows just how to reach an audience.
(www.chick.com) whether you stumble onto one of his well-crafted tracts in a dank bathroom stall at your local denny's or find them strewn about the parking lot at walmart, chick knows that people can't help but eagerly thumb through his charming life-saving pamphlets.. i couldn't help but wonder just how powerful the preaching effort would be if the watchtower employed some of mr. chick's winning tactics to reach the doomed populace.
for example, note how mr. chick explains the appeal of his artful renderings:.

two deaths and no calls...
by detective inwell, my disfellowshipped friend was seeking out an older, non-jw relative who he had wanted to invite to a monumental event in his life.
he wasn't able to reach her at her home so he eventually gave up and sought out his jw parents.
in doing so, he learned that the elderly relative had died a little less than a year earlier (a few months after he had been disfellowshipped).

The demon dream
by detective inas some of you may know, i came these boards quite some time ago due to my close connection to a jehovah's witness.
i watched as he struggled and watched as he left the organization.
to explain him, he is ~out~ physically, but still somewhat ~in~ mentally.
