Peter: I dunno. Explorer signed up on 6-29-01, so s/he has been lurking for at least a month. I'm willing to bet that s/he is at least reading the responses.

Disfellowship?????????????????????
by tattoogrl333 intoday's study topic included disfellowship.
i'm a little confused i was told that the only way you can be disfellowshipped was if you did something you knew went agains jehovah and would not repent for it.
but the only person you can repent to is jehovah......... then i was told that the elders can however "keep the flock pure" b/c if jehovah is not happy with the congregation he can take his holy spirit away.

GR: you sed
someone trying to learn the truth about someone and going to ask his enemy
I beg to differ... Sometimes, the enemies have the best insight on the issue.

Hi, Explorer, welcome...
I don't hate the JWs. I don't hate my parents, or brothers, or sisters, or my aunts uncles and cousins, or my ex-husband, or the friends I had for 20 years who no longer care if I am alive or dead.
I thought I would hate these people, but I do not. I am sad for them. I feel sorry that they are missing out on the wonderful life that I have. I am truly happier and more satisfied in life than I have ever been. I go through periods where I miss my parents terribly, and I get very angry with them for trying to use spiritual blackmail against me, but I get past it.
My only hope is that the WTBTS must stand up and make changes to some of their horrible policies. THAT is where I stand.
Greetings to you. We hope you stick around, for explorers make all the difference!
Regards,
Reagan O'Connor

TR, she's gorgeous. Be proud.
And, might I say... your headshot doesn't make you look old enough to have a 17-year-old daughter!
<scoring points!>
Boozy, I LOVE the application! That's something my Dad would have liked to have had when I was a teenager!
Actually, Dad used to say that I could date AFTER I was married... LOL
Dad suggested that I tell boys at school if they wanted to date me, they had to call him and ask for his permission.
...I didn't date in high school... but it turns out I didn't miss much...
My husband reminds me a lot of my dad (except for the whacko elder thing), but that's OK. My Dad's a great guy; he's just a JW.

gsark: (((hugs))) I'm so saddened to hear what you've suffered.... first at the hands of a rapist, and second at the hands of your elders.
My God, what are these people doing???
I can't offer any information, but I wanted to express this to you.

The problem with the elder arrangement is that they are imperfect men who claim to have God's spirit in making the decision of your personal repentance.
As you said, my dear, no one but God can determine your heart condition. And as far as the elders keeping the congregation "clean"... maybe they should review Luke 6:39-42 before trying to pass judgement against others in their determination of repentance.

As a teenager, I used to look through the magazines or skim the Bible for references to sexual activity...
---> THEN I would fantasize about the person in front of me... or behind me... or next to me...
... or all (ORAL?) three!!!
I'm gonna burn...

When you installed the software, you probably saw a screen that said this:
"Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this program, or any portion of it, is illegal, dishonest, and unfair."
This isn't exactly "iron-clad," so I wouldn't worry about it.

Special Judicial Committees
by JEMIMAH inyou will have to understand that i have to change a few details here and there so that i can't be identified.. as many of you are aware i serve as an elder, and from time to time i have been asked by the service desk to handle matters for them by means of "the special committee arrangement".
(a phrase you will not find in any wt letter or elders textbook.
) just to explain.. "a special committee is often set up when, an original committee (ojc)decides to disfellowship an individual, who then appeals against the judgement.

ustabee sed:
And have them ignore you like you were an invisible ghost.
When I was DFed and sitting in the hall between my ex-husband an ex-mother-in-law, an unbalanced sister (another one!) leaned over between talks and said to my ex, "Tell Reagan we miss her."
Um, hello, dumbass, I'm, sitting RIGHT HERE!!!
How stupid this is. I can't believe I submitted myself to this moronic suffering for a year and a half...
