I just came from my elder's meeting
by BonaFide injust to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

Can Someone with Medical Background Help Poster Yizuman?
by AudeSapere inquick summary - as best i can assess - is that his wife has multiple medical issues and much compromised abilities.. she's been in the hospital for just over two weeks and yizuman is very worried about her.
he is not able to stay at the hospital due to distance and work responsibilities.
also he is deaf so communication with the nurses is not too free-flowing.. among other things, she has developed a clot in her hand and has been put on a 'pressure machine'.

The practice of "Shepherding Calls" (attention ex-elders)
by Lady Zombie inthe practice of "shepherding calls" has always been somewhat of a mystery to me.. growing up, a shepherding call was for jws who were doing something that a few/some/most (didn't matter which) found stumbling or suspicious.
for instance, i remember my folks gossiping to each other about a jw couple who had been sloughing off the meetings in order to go dancing.
one of the congregation members (who were absent themselves on a particular night) saw them going into a dance club on a meeting night and promptly ran to an elder.
