Any Experience with Two Judicial Committees?
by dig692 inhi everyone, just wondering if anyone that is or was df'd before has any experience with moving to a new congregation and having to meet with their old jc and a new jc at their new hall?.
a friend of mine who is df has been trying to get back in to reconnect with her family and is having a really hard time with the reinstatement process.
she has been attending meetings at the new congregation for about a year now and has asked the new jc to meet to discuss her reinstatement.

Alone
by changeling inno one watches my every move.. no one reads my thoughts.. no one monitors my dreams.. no one passes judgment, or keeps tabs.
my actions dont get recorded; to be used against me or in my favor.. .
i think, and i breathe and i act: alone.

Question about Heaven and the Resurrection
by dig692 inthis is a teaching that i have been starting to research lately, as i am not really sure i believe it anymore.
background: i wasn't raised a jw, so i grew up believing that all good people go to heaven, and all bad people go to hell.
when i became a jw, i started to believe in the 2 different hopes for makind since it seemed to make sense to me and sounded better than people going to hell.

Question about a funeral for a DF'd person???
by lalaa inif somebody had been df'd for years, showed no interest in coming back and died, would it be okay to go to their funeral if you're still active???
what if a regular pioneer was this individuals' sister in law, would it be okay for them to go?
also, the deceased is having an elder give a talk at the funeral home...one more thing....this person's family is either inactive or df'd...all will be there...this person only has one brother who is still in the truth.. i know it's been years since i've been out of the truth but the last time i checked it was inappropriate to go to a dead df'd person funeral.

“The Christian Congregation” Oh really?
by Leprechaun ini felt that they the governing body, was busting my balls each and every time they said referring to themselves: gods spirit directed organization, which incidentally is the same as calling them selfs with such arrogance the christian congregation.
i think these are croaking sounds as spoken through the book of revelation maybe.
they use these tearms as though no one else on planet earth is ever spirit directed, in any manor shape or form.

Organ Transplants, Rape, Paganism
by AwSnap ina family member from my extended family is staying with me for the holidays; we had a very interesting conversation.. ....i've never had such an in-depth conversation with somebody who has never been a witness (j-dub as he likes to call them).
i kept feeling a little weird because certainly i can go on and on and on and on about it, but i rarely do.
i showed him my findings on organ transplants, rape rule changing, we talked about how frusterating it is that the jdubs will look at all the origins and history of everything and use that as an excuse not to celebrate holidys, etc....yet they refuse and are ignorant to their own true history.
