You are only Disfellowshipped when they don't want something . . .
by JRK ini had a few interesting experiences this past year that i haven't shared on the board.. experience #1: in the fervor leading up to our worst snowstorm of the year, an elder asked my mother to ask me (yes, he was too pussy to ask me himself) if "the brothers" could use my generator and other equipment if someone in the congregation needed it.
i was put off by this for several reasons.
one, what if one of my "current" friends were without power?

what was the worst meeting you ever attended ?
by man in black inhere's mine :.
back in the early 90's we went to the sunday talk and wt study.. lo and behold, a friend from the 70's who was df'ed ( he had just been reinstated) was there along with his parents.
i had no idea that they would have been there.. one of my kids was getting sick, so my wife and i were up-down the entire meeting walking him around.

It is truly a "Dog & Pony" Show !
by Pitchess Co-Gen inmy bother ( who i don't really talk too because of a different issue with him ) and i got disfellowshipped on the same day ( 2/28/09 ).
ive been pretty inconstant when it comes to meeting attendance ( i haven't been in more than six months ), while ever sence my brother and his wife had a baby he's been super regular at the meeting ( nine months straight without missing one meeting !).
when he turned in his reinstatement letter ( by the way he moved to a new congregation ).

"Who else are we to go away to?"
by simon17 into the intellectually honest witness, it seems like it often comes down to this principle.
"fine, if the witnesses aren't the truth, then show me the better answer and i'll consider it.
" and how do you deal with that?

praying for a jw partner
by varian induring my early 20ies while studying the bible, and many years after babtizm, i never dated even one sister!
my cong was like in nomansland, and consisted of many older jws.
so it was pretty depressing as a young brother without the slightest hope of finding an appropriate partner.. but one day, a very hot looking sister joined our club for a while, so all of a sudden, there were all types of dudes from other congs coming to our meetings.. i don t know how this conversation came about, but one jw gave me the advice, not to mention a persons name in prayer, because god will know who the right sister will be a suitable partner.

Menlo Park Cong.
by exwhyzee ini recently got in touch with an old jw friend of mine (now of the annointed) who lives near menlo park ca.
i asked him about that congreagation there that got closed down or had some sort of uprising.
he didn't know anything about it and even sounded like he didn't believe it ever happened.
