    I could never really understand why jw's shunned the d'f or d'a persons.i have always tought it to be really unloving and cruel,i mean ignore the person and act like their invisable,no i wont do it.

    Well hello,im back.i have been ok past week, Well to start my story off,i want to paint my room,so my mom and i went to walmart yesterday to buy some paint.we meant up with one of my mom jws friends and her 2 daughters,one is dissfellowshipped,the daug.that is d/f my family and her were really close,and she was like a big sister to me,she was also so sweet and very loving,shes 18, anyways after we were about to leave my mom goes,"i cant help it im going give desiree a hug"wow she did,my mom is not wicked after all,(i always would talk to her when i would see her and give her a hug,whenevr we would meet up some place,hehe)well i went give her a big hug too,and it felt good,and i hope she got some sort of comfort knowing that not everyone feels she is an evil person. anyways while we were driving home,my mom says to me,u know people either gonna think were spiritually weak for doing that,are that we are very nice.i was like let them,i feel im doin the right thing by not acting like shes not a person.i hate shunning!!!,,,,,lol see ya bye

    Shytears - do you think Jesus would've wanted you to shun her?

    That policy of theirs has destroyed so many families, and lately I've been hearing of another family just torn apart by this stupid rule!!!! Its got to be the most unchristian like thing I know.

    Don't worry about how "man" views you - only God can judge your heart.

    The world needs more people like you.

    shunning hurts.

    Your actions show you have a mind of your own, don't lose that quality.

    AHA, a spiritually independant person. We need more like you. And less JWs.

    May it be so.

    that was so sweet of you guys to do. and Christlke.

    An older sister who had been disfellowshipped in her younger years told me that they are the people who need the most encouragement and not to feel like they are not wanted.

    Laura, the JWs push more people away with their crule acts of emotional blackmail known as shunning. If they truly had the love Jesus spoke of and actually cared about people, they would show the ones they consider weak and errant as much love and compassion theu could muster.

    My hats off to you and your Mom for showing another human being compassion and love.

    The Shunning Rule is in place to keep the "dumb sheep" from becoming "smart sheep" - ie - the Society does not want their loyal flock of dumb sheep to find out that this religion is just a bunch of lies.

    If the Society let everyone - JW's, DA, DF and worldly ones - truly mix and be friends, they would not be in control for very long. It IS a control method that they use to stay in power.
