  so an apostabuddy wanted to stage a silent protest at the assembly hall where she was baptized.

  we went today.

  the plan was to wear these apostate t-shirts that had stuff printed on them about thinking for yourself, and a bunch of websites.

  no, i'm not seeking to be reinstated so don't worry.

  but i did want to raise a point in relation to this.

  i know this was true in my case and i've seen it in others i have talked to about this.

  Dear Quendi, I so agree. Even the the society often states that a person returned because of the strict stand the family took against them.

  .

  the longer you spend away from the organisation, the more utterly cringeworthy this term sounds when you hear it.. like they are all one big happy family.

  what jw phrases make you cringe?.

  Hilarious "wardrobe worksheet" in new YPA book!

  during a quiet moment i picked the latest ypa book down from my bookshelf.

  it's pretty much stayed there since my relatives came back from the latest convention.

  i couldn't bring myself to see the extent to which the society is now trying to claw its way into the lives of teenagers.

  WOW! The borg has to control everything

  Has the society addressed whether it is proper to stand or stay seated when men pee?

  I am surprised they have not come out with a male only and female only "handbook"

  i was born in, baptized at 12 or 13. auxiliary pioneered one of those aprils when there was the big promo.

  i took the act's in high school because every body else was doing it and glory be...i was granted a scholarship and my parents allowed me to go to college.

  around the same time, two things happened: 1) an instructor said during a lecture: "question everything, even the things your parents taught you.

  SPRINT....You are in such a tough spot - I am sorry you are going through this. I also have parents the same age that are die-hard regular pioneers, living off their small SS check each month. They think they are happy, so I say nothing. It would kill them to find out the Borg is a lie.

  Can You Defend Yourself before a J. Committee?

  by D wiltshire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to those who have been before a judicial committee for apostacy.. the elders will ask you questions not for the purpose of finding out the truth, but to make sure they can df you.. at my appeal hearing serveral months ago i was questioned by the appeal committees to their satifaction, they even thanked me for my honesty, as it helped them get what they were looking for to make the original dfing stand.. after they were finished with their questions i ask if i could now defend myself and prove that i was telling the truth and not a biblical apostate.. the chairman informed me that i would not be allowed to defend myself.. i looked at all 8 brothers(2 committees 5 & 3) in total amazement at his refusal to allow me to defend myself.

  to them(8) it seem perfectly alright not to allow me to defend myself.. wow.. the chairman said they really were not a judicial court and did not need to be that concerned about doing things in harmony with what is concidered to be fair and right by worldly courts or the bible.

  in fact the chairman spent about 10 minutes trying to explain why they didn't have have to be fair in the legalistic way of courts.. .
