    aunt Connie is fun, she is showing us all how outrageous the dubs are. Her posts are intended to provoke and make you see how awful this religion really is.

    Your last post I thought you were getting a little soft. You've come back with a BANG. You sound more like the Aunt Connie we love.

    AuntConnie: How can I shun him, my religion allows me to judge him as worthy for Gahanna so my brain put's him in a category of Apostate, that way I can allow my "eighty year old" Mum to juggle him while I SHINE FIELD SERVICE! AM I BAD?

    In my view, ritual shunning is one of the most repugnant practices of the Jehovah's Witnesses. One can understand your resentments in life, but you’re not the judge of anyone. The Lord states, “I the Lord will forgive whom I will forgive. But of you it is required to forgive all men.”

    In the scriptures, the original twelve apostles were told that they would be the judges of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jehovah, in the Old Testament, is said that he will come forth to judge the nations; yet in the New Testament, John says categorically that “the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son.” (John 5:22)

    The reason we’re cautioned against judgment ourselves is that we don’t have the power to see into peoples’ hearts. It’s easy for us to make mistakes. We’re also told in the scriptures that we will be judged with the tolerance that we judge others, the idea being that mercy is a two-way street. Not only must we forgive others; we must forgive ourselves.

    My dad is not disfellowshiped, he has been unable to attended meetings since his cancer spread into his liver. I have not been to see him because I do not like him anymore. He's all "dried up and shriveled up" I was told by a elder who visited him a few weeks ago.

    Your statement about not liking him anymore is an issue I don’t understand. Did he destroy his liver by alcoholism? Did he bring all his troubles on himself, and then to you and your family?

    Why the animosity? It sounds to me like you’re letting the Jehovah's Witnesses influence you in ways that are contrary to the will of God. There are many other religions out there that offer counseling services and if you find yourself conflicted in your feelings, find out what other religious groups say. Remember, the Jehovah's Witnesses are just another manmade religion with no special powers or discernments. I’m not saying that to be contrary, but because if the Governing Body had a special relationship with God, wouldn’t they know it? And wouldn’t God imbue it with power and authority from On High? Most people who get caught between the Organization and their families are being victimized by the Society.

    This may be fake but it does provide a serious point. That is a lot of JW's act this way, they will take the help from people like this dad and all is well but then the dad helps someone else not a JW and misses meetings and all of a sudden this dad is not worthy of this womans effections any more. In all reality this happens all the time in JW land.

    Crazyguy, so your thought is that there are those that take their financial benefits from Witnesses, but if the lender/generous one isn't faithful to the org. then the indebted have a clean slate and owe nothing to the person that helped them in financially tough times. Interesting.

    I'm trying to work out whether AuntConnie is a sociopath or merely an unskilled satirist.
