I truly think that at this point they are just throwing Shiat at the wall to see what sticks. THe rules no longer matter it appears once they really want to get rid of you.

You are right Kate I just added the picture LOL
I am eagerly awaiting what happens next. This has turned into a 3 ring circus and I do not feel that there is going to be an easy resolution anymore because anywhere I am seen people are looking for all sorts of things to condemn me on. It is annoying to say the least

Well yesterday I had a 10 minute conversation with an elder who finally got the balls to call me. A huge mistake on his part. The convo begins:
Elder: Good evening Brother SOOOOOOOOOANDSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO how have you been. You know something disturbing has come to the attention of the body tha tneeds to be addressed immediately. Twooooo (notice the emphasis) pioneer sisters said they saw you a few days ago in the store and you were wearing shoes that had religious icons on them. What can you tell me about that.
Me: What...
Elder: Yes, they stated that you had on Jamaican shoes with religious symbols.
Me: (Intense Laughing)
Elder: Brother SOANDSO as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and as a former elder I am sure you...
Me: Listen up for one second, you WILL NOT call my home and speak to me like I am your child lets get that straight RIGHT NOW.
Elder: I ....
Me: Do you understand meee. I am a grown man. Do not call me and speak to me like I am your child. As for my shoes yes they have colors which happen to be the same as the colors that are on a Rastafarian flag. They are also the colors of various other countries as well depending on the order. So are you wondering if I am a rastafarian... No I am not. THey are addidas. Addidas have 3 stripes. They just happen to be the colors on the shoe I am wearing end of discussion
Elder: Well you wife is from Jamaica, so I would think that you would be aware of the fact that the colors represent Rastafarians... be side I have addidas as well the come in a million types why those?
Me: Your wife is from America so can you never wear red white and blue? Can you never eat apple pie... this has to stop. If you want to get me for somethign just do it. Let me ask you this, some might reason that the car Mazda is a way of honoring the god Ahura MAzda. Should Christians not drive Mazdas... sure they are great on gas but we dont want to send the wrong message, right right right
Elder: You are taking this overboard, just as I would expect... you are diverting attention from your own wrong to something trivial that you can place on your brothers.
Me: So IIIIIIIII am taking something overboard??? IIIIIIIIII am making something trivial into something it is not... you are a joke. *Hang Up*
Now what will they not go to in order to take someone down? If you are a lurker and wondering why people are so fedup with this group just look at this foolishness. You want to disfellowship someone for the color of their shoes??? Wonderful group arent they

How to accept the actions of the Old Testament God
by confusedandalone inhow are we able to do this.. this is not an attempt to stir the pot or cause confusion but i was sitting here thinking of all the really horrid things that the old testament god did to people.
when i was a jw i just purposely put it to the back of my mind always trying to make an excuse.
when i was in field service and someone would ask me about it i would just change the subject.. however i have been reading alot of info lately here about how wonderful jesus is and how he is a direct representation of what god the father would be.

For all believers: I have a serious question
by confusedandalone ingod ordered the killing of men women and children and animals and pillaging of various nations around them.
in some instances god apparently led the way with his might arm.. this is not a question of wether it is right or wrong, but moreso a question(s) of:.
1. if you were there would you have personally participated in those killings or would you ignore the commands?.

"you asking a what if question, one that would not happen. i trust god and know all his ways are good,i would not kill somebody like that of course, a what if question is very leading and is meant to trap a person alot of times. if you were rapist who would you rape first? and you have to answer that. is that not a trap?"
but unstoppable you are a servant of god. God is supposedly (LOLZ) going to give you guys new information through scrolls.
WHo knows what he will tell you. He told them to kill once he may do it again.
The question is not far-fetched.
You saying that you would nnot do it demonstrates that you still have common sense... I applaud you

IS it possible that Paul was just a failed Pharisee that
by confusedandalone insaw an opening?.
if we look at christianity it appears that pauls teaching are what formulate it and not jesus.
paul often contradicts the words that are "supposedly" spoken by jesus repeatedly.

"your wueation is like the questions the pharsees asked jesus trying to trap him, and you know why. if i say yes than you wil say........ if i say no you say........ come on lets be mature and reasonable please. question not wuetion. i cant backspace on my phon"
How is it like a Pharisee question??? How am I trying to trap you.
Moreso seems like the answer you want to give is not going to fit in with the image you are portraying... maybe you are confused. If god asked you the question you would not be so coy would you

"don't offer it up to a troll who is only looking for new followers."
Something leads me to believe that the question I have asked has been asked before LOL
