Okay it is called ex communication or disfellowship and you cannot get her kicked out, she does this herself by doing things her religion says is sinful and wrong.

It's not that big a deal. I have relatives that are JW and they seem to be getting kicked out (disfellowshipped) all the time. The Witnesses will kick you out for cohabitation or even hanging with the wrong people. We know a lady who was kicked out for using snuff.

But it's only temporary. The church always takes them back after a while if they want to go back. They don't want to lose paying customers.

JW would not "kick out" someone merely for having association with someone of another faith. At most, the elders would advise her to be careful of her associations. The only reasons for what is known as disfellowshipping is gross, unrepentant sin. Might there be a little something you're leaving out?

Also there's no need to get "kicked out on purpose". An individual can simply write a letter to the congregation elders stating he or she no longer wants to be identified as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

And please ^^ do not equate not associating with someone we care about when they are disfellowshipped with suddenly hating them. It doesn't work that way.

OH SO many misconceptions.

Unfortunately this is the standard practice for apostates that leave the Jehovah's Witnesses. Your girlfriend will have to simply resign to the fact that those who loved her before, hate her now. But try as they might, they cannot control how someone really believes. She will have to search out a new family, new friends, and probably a new life. It will be difficult, but necessary if she wants to be true to who she is. She cannot depend on her previous "family" anymore, and I think she knows that well enough by now.

Well first off, clearly she wouldn't be disfellowshipped for simply going to a party, so something in the story is missing. Secondly, you could try waiting for her to come to you. People need time to think things through.

Isn't the JW faith a loving and caring faith? Any faith that will turn its back on its OWN family members is a sad thing. These are the same people who believe Christ used to be Michael the Archangel ...before God turned him into 'a god'.
Let your friend you do care about her and that YOU will be there to lend her moral support and your friendship NO MATTER WHAT...unlike her 'loving' family who is being forced by their faith to SHUN their daughter.

Dude that sucks. I gotta agree with my fellow poster here that this is not a religion anyone needs to be in. Excommunicated for going to a party? That's harsh. I think you should try to talk to her, through other people at first.

A friend of mine was disfellowshipped by the JWs and now he says it was the best thing that ever happened to him. There are still family members that will not talk to him.

They under no circumstances consult with me as a Apostate. i replaced into disfellowshipped for reason.

I very own 2 copies of the Interlinear Greek Translation of the NT. My mom has a series of the components relationship lower back to 1900. She's in basic terms been a witness because of fact the 60s, yet as older witnesses bypass away, they provide their previous books and magazines to others. For why I even have not lower back, i could might desire to refer you to something Jane Fonda stated to Charlton Heston on the this evening tutor with Johnny Carson. She noted how she in basic terms employed JWs as very own help, like maids, gardeners, drivers, etc., because of fact they might't be offered for information approximately her by ability of rag magazines. Heston asked her why she did no longer grow to be one if she enjoyed them a lot? She stated that she might desire to no longer see herself living as close to to the coaching of Christ as they do, and neither might desire to he (Heston). i assume that could be a controversy of my concept technique. i've got seen returning presently, yet a glitch has been thrown into it. i've got been in the well being facility considering final June. I even have issues of my heart and lungs, and that i'm no longer a sturdy candidate for a transplant. So, could I be returning in view that's what i choose, or because of fact my well being is failing? once you seem at all of it, you spot that they are top some lot extra desirable than what the different church homes say is faulty. **************************************...
