whats taken into consideration when this happens?
*** w81 9/15 29 If a Relative Is Disfellowshiped . . . ***
The second situation that we need to consider is that involving a disfellowshiped or disassociated relative who is not in the immediate family circle or living at one?s home. Such a person is still related by blood or marriage, and so there may be some limited need to care for necessary family matters.
Thats what they used on me. My sis who was living with me disassociated. I wouldn't have her leave, so I got df'd.
this was posted on ww today.
do you think the apostate infiltration had anything to do with it?.
in the name of christian unity and peace, we regret to inform you that the management of ww has decided to close the ?park?
They're sure emphasing the "peace" angle..... guess they couldn't handle theocratic warfare!

i feel like a dweeb.
perhaps its because this is my first valentine's day to ever celebrate, plus i'm finally in a great relationship with someone i love.. i must be the most unromantic person on earth!!!!
i have no clue what to do for valentine's day.
Thanks Lisa,
I've already started racking my brain. I know I'll come up with something, I've got a whole month. I just started to panic.

I must be the most UNROMANTIC person on earth!!!! I have no clue what to do for Valentine's day. I don't want to give him chocolates or flowers... nothing as expensive as for a b'day or xmas...
I want to come up with an original, non-embarrassing idea. The thing is, we also work for the same company (different departments), so obviously, I don't want to send him anything to work.
I know this post is close to a month early, but I want to start brain storming. Anyone have any good ideas or past experiences?????
Guys - what would you like?
do you have any suggestions to help jehovah's witnesses who visit this site get out of the religion?
Strawberry - WELCOME!!!
Having friends outside the org helps in a BIG way. Talking... seeing that "worldly" is just a negative word for "normal". It helps to start seeing the world in a positive way, not the drilled in negative way (living in the last days, blah blah blah). Try doing a google search on the 1400s and tell me we're living in the worst time period ever!
Anyhoo... hope to hear more from you. I should talk. I've been on this board awhile and I'm still a "junior"

I lurked for quite awhile before I got out.
First, I had to leave mentally... I knew it wasn't the truth and the research proved this to me. I read everything I could get my hands on, and started to form my own "spirituality"... allowed myself to question. I felt if it "was the truth" it could stand up to the scrutiny (it didn't).
Then I started to build an outside support system. Friends. My workplace helped alot, and I started to associate with people (who today still are my friends).
I talked about my doubts and feelings to a sibling and LOW & BEHOLD, she was feeling the same way. We made the break together... but I was prepared for the worse. Our family shuns us, however some keep secret contact.
My meeting attendance dropped slowly over all this time, I avoided the elders, and got my service hours to drop over time until I was "inactive".
Once I was ready for the complete break I made it official. Not to play their game - but for me it was a sense of "closure". I can say that I am no longer a Jehovah's Witness.
one of the biggest regrets a person might have is that they let their children become involved in the whole jw "thing".
you know---everything from the elders always cornering them to "investigate" something or even having the parents "turn in" their own kids......is there anything that you especially regret?
Crazy as this may sound, I don't have any regrets. I've done things I'm not proud of (both as a Witness and non), but in the long run I've learnt from the experience. It has helped form the person I am today... and where I am today.
what can you point to right now, that god is doing?
if he is maintaining the universe, can this be scientifically shown?
if he gives life to the newly firtilised egg cell, can that be scientifically shown?
Rem - I make a positive assertion that Zeus (and Santa, etc.) do not exist.
Whoa, whooooaaaa - now you're attacking my beliefs !!!!
Actually, everyone is practically one book, one God away from athiesm/agnostic beliefs. Christians do not believe in Allah and the Koran; or the Book of Mormon; or Hinduism & the Vedas; etc. Likewise, a Muslim does not believe in Jehovah and the Bible. They don't need "reasons", they just do not believe. Its not a leap to understand where an athiest is coming from. They do not believe the whole lot.
i am in a situation where my ex-wife left me.
i had survellaince done on her place by two members of my family.
this was done over a several month time frame.
Scrubs - WELCOME!!!!
