Can the elders stop you from entering the kingdom hall if
by label licker inyou continue to talk to the witlesses after being disfellowshipped.
we were at a funeral recently and disfellowshipped hubby would talk to anyone who who would come up to him and talk.
he said he wasn't going to be rude and that the rule of not talking to df ones don't apply to him.

He would never make a scene but if people come up to him and talk first like at the funeral, he can't be rude and ignore them. He's got too much class for that. I guess if he was to talk to them first then they could kick him out.
I do remember one time a gal who had alot of emotional issues from being df'd by these same elders that df'd hubby and they were laughing one time how they locked her out of the hall and she fell to the ground balling yet these jerks thought it funny to lock the doors on her. Following year she went to our old hall and she was talking out loud with an elder on each side of her during the memorial. She was a victim of a molestation as a child and a raping later on in life. I didn't learn of this until recently after we were out and my heart bled for her. She ended up committing suicide about five years ago. No family noone to love her. I guess it makes it easier for us to never look on going back especially when we saw how the elders were acting talking about her. And this was after she took her life.
Come to think of it, I know of nine now that have taken their lives, mostly women and all of them who had no close families that would care about them. Why? This discusting religion. When we were in the world, the only ones I knew that took their lives was my mother and she was jw.

So, if the elders wanted to then they could kick hubby out if caught not following their rules even though the property is opened to everyone. Huh! Well, we'll see how long before that happens. Thank you.

He said he wasn't going to be rude and that the rule of not talking to df ones don't apply to him. That rule only applies to the members so if they want to talk to him he'll talk back.
Well, the next day we found out at my jc hearing that an elder had called over to one of these goons to let them know hubby was talking to others at the funeral. Yet, the elder didn't say anything to him like stop talking to the brothers and sister. I don't think the elders can stop df'd ones from talking to others. But can they stop a df'd person from entering their halls especially if the goons know they can't stop df'd ones from talking to others? Are the kingdom halls private or public property? It does say on the hall all are welcomed.
Maybe that's what we should be doing when it comes to funerals ect,, START TALKING TO EVERYONE! Let society know that they have absolutely no power over df'd ones and that shunning will not be tolerated from all of us. You would be surprised how many would talk to us after we told them hubby was df'd. He spoke to about fifteen people, one who was a bethelites wife who gave him a hug after being told by gay elder that hubby was df'd. We even told those that were talking to us that hubby was df'd and some said they didn't care. Those are true and real friends.
When they go to cross the road to the other side, you do the same. Let them be the ones who are acting retarded and don't know why. A week later a family from another hall told us what the latest gossip was in their hall. Yup! It was about the brothers and sisters talking to us at a gathering. Not we were talking to them but them talking to us. Funny how the tables get turned and now others are being spoken of because they are still in it. One devouring the other. You have to love it!

The ones who participate in CONvention...is it all a load of hypocrisy?
by MissConfused ini am talking about the ones who get special mentions or interviews or part in assemblies and conventions, they are usually stars of the congregation at least as acknowledged by boe.
when i had interacted personally with these people, i did not find them special in any way.
they neither reflected any true love for j, but were quite the very opposite and ambitious to be the best in "the organization", with very little humility.

It's pretty bad when our fill-in circuit overseer/elder admits that his little pet got up at the assembly and lied. He told hubby that the ones that knew his part was a lie was only the one percent over the ninety-nine that didn't know. But what if that one percent had gone and told others that their son had a part in the CA and those ones hear how his parents didn't do anything for him growing up spiritually. Meantime they raised all five kids in the troof and were known for being very spiritual. Another time and elders' brother couldn't believe his brother(elder) and wife would get up on stage and have the nerve to say how they would never go to a concert nor let their boys go. A month before that lie the whole family went to a concert and were laughing at how there were guys smoking pot right in front of them as well as behind them. And they had their boys with them. The list goes on and on. If your a pet of the elders your in like flint! Lies or no lies(but it's usually all based on lies)the purpose serves their parts.

That was the same thing with the goon elder who was waiting all morning outside our gate to df us. His grandmother had died early that morning and around 12 noon is when the got the hubby. Absolutely no feelings whatsoever! It's like when you become a jw you are now entering the twilight zone.

Can you take someone with you in Judicial Committee?
by zound ini've heard of a couple of cases of a person being present (maybe wife, or friend) for support at judicial committees - is this commonly accepted by the elder committee or is it just a rarity?.

Plus, they did say IF I have a recorder on me and I said yeah yeah, then they said there shouldn't be one while the meeting is going on and again I said yeah yeah. Remember to do that so you have let them think your in agreement with them on that yet your saying yeah yeah to the fact you do have one on you. I told the co afterwards and he said he would like it. That if there were any wrong doing on it that he would right my wrong. Just before that he said he couldn't help me for the whole body of elders were on board with the decision of my judgement call. Don't trust noone. Always protect yourself with a recording device. Haven't heard back from the co.

At my jc, the elders asked that my df'd hubby not be there for the holy spirit could be hindered and there wouldn't be a proper flow of it throughout my jc. I said absolutely no way and that he stays by my side. So glad the holy spirit was on our side for three out of the five accusers were thrown out.( One of them being an elder fillin circuit overseer on this body) Had it not been for hubby to raise his hand to say that the accusations that I was accused of actually were with them and hubby. Not I:)
