Need Damning Info. on Watchtower
by StinkyPantz ini am moving in a few months but before i go i want to sit down with my parents and present a tremendous amount of evidence against the watchtower.
i realize that some of you will say to just let them be.
well, knowing that they are in a cult-like religion is quite disheartening.

DA=DF....Why?
by thinker inthe latest kingdom ministry states that disassociated persons are to be treated the same as disfellowshipped ones.
i have heard two explanations:.
1) those who da are assumed to be sinners who were apt to be disfellowshipped if they had stayed in the organization.

CAN YOU BE DISFELLOWSHIPPED AND STILL BE EFFECTIVE
by minimus inin view of the fact that bill bowen and others who have supported the silentlambs agenda have been disfellowshipped, do you think this means the end of their effectiveness?
comments on the board suggest that now, jw's won't come forward to bill because witnesses won't want to talk to a disfellowshipped person.
and some have said that this was the reason why they were fighting their disfellowshipping.

Bethelites....a real catch ?
by av8orntexas inok everyone i'm pretty new here and here's my two cents... one thing i could not figure out was...what was the craze with bethelites ?
as a reg pioneer supposedly i was a lock for local sis..but from my point of view sisters practically fell over themselves trying to get a piece of these guys.. myself i was never one to let anyone go unoticed.. i was equal opprotunity..especially for the spanish sis's in the spanish cong..speaking of which have any of you guys ever been to one of the spanish conventions ?
i had to pick my tongue off the ground several times..hehehe.

Disfellowshiping, is it an Endangered Species ?
by Siddhashunyata init is apparent that bill bowen and silentlambs will not go away.
it seems to me that over time, this fact translates to defection within the ranks of jehovah's witnesses as they continue to "associate " with this apostate.
in her letter to the governing body, bill's wife correctly states that it is the body's policies that have caused "divisions".

Do you get disappointed if no one responds?
by Larry inwriting should be for our own edification - a personal cleansing, therapeutic at the least.
if you write for other people's approval, you will be disappointed, especially when you share your thoughts on the 'net.
i've seen many folks get 'burn-out' from these boards b/c they don't get the expected respond to their post.

by comforter incomforter will not attempt to judge bowen.
god will judge him in the last day.
but i guess comforter wonders why bowen cares whether he has been df or not.

Any advice on DA process?
by Cicatrix in.
hello all,.
i'm a newbie that's been lurking here for a couple of weeks, trying to get up the nerve to post.i've made the decision to da myself after months of thought and research.i'm not familiar with the procedure,though.is there anything that any of you feel is particularly important for me to know?do i have to go before a jc to da?if i refuse to,will they just df me?i prefer to make it clear that i am the one who is voluntarily leaving, but having been a victim of the kangaroo court proceedings on other occasions, i just can't bring myself to put myself in the elder's "loving" hands again (a story for another day).i'm fortunate that none of my family members are baptised or even active witnesses at this point.. any input would be much appreciated.. cicatrix

Bill Bowen Disfellowshipped

frankly, they were not interested.
