Seeking forgiveness from those who shun you
by cyberdyne systems 101 inwhat i'm wondering is if you have hurt people by your actions and they happen to be jw's and your now disfellowshipped, and therefore they shun you, is there really anyway to say your sorry (other than submit to the congregation elders, and eventually (maybe) be reinstated).. this is kinda the situation i'm in.
i have done things that have hurt people, one's i see in connection with my family.
i want to be and say i'm sorry and regret things i have done, and yet it was never leaving the witnesses that i'm sorry for, rather my own actions that got me df.

The Spanking Hall?
by WTWizard inchildren in the jehovah's witness religion really have it hard.
to compare, look at other churches.
most of them have sunday school, and this is geared to children that are not able to really comprehend the deeper things.

Attention former elders and ms: I have a question.
by R.F. ini'm currently a ministerial servant and pioneer in my congregation.
i want to begin my fade soon.

Amazing how much the dubs still control your life, years after (fate)
by needproof injust recently, i've been getting this feeling that i just can't escape the witnesses.
i still live in the same area as i did when i was a dub, so i always see the old faces on 'theocratic' mornings.
one such old face reared his ugly head today.

America's divorce rate falls to lowest level since 1970 - bad luck WT
by truthseeker inthe watchtower is always lamenting "ever increasing levels of divorce" etc, especially when they have wt articles about the family.. this article presents some refreshing views that not every married couple is getting divorced.. perhaps the rate of divorce among jehovah's witnesses is the highest since 1970 as it's becoming more and more common to hear about jw spouses breaking up or having affairs.. .
u.s. divorce rate falls to lowest level since 1970some suggest more couples are living together long-term without marryinghttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18600304/?gt1=9951.
new york - by the numbers, divorce just isnt what it used to be.. despite the common notion that america remains plagued by a divorce epidemic, the national per capita divorce rate has declined steadily since its peak in 1981 and is now at its lowest level since 1970.. yet americans arent necessarily making better choices about their long-term relationships.
