  My younger son and I decided to go for a walk this afternoon and, as always, we had to pass the house of an elder, which is on the corner of our cul-de-sac. Occasionally, I'd bump into the elder's wife and she say a nervous "Hello!"

  But not today!! As my son and I were rounding the corner of her garden there she was, tending it. She happened to look round, saw us both, almost smiled and then, looking as though I was about to hit her with an axe, she stared at me in disbelief and quickly looked away. YES! I was shunned!!

  It was all my son and I could do to stop ourselves from laughing. Now this is an interesting development because I've neither DA'd myself or been DF'd. Uhmmmmm!!

  Dansk - of the probable 'marked' class!

  P.S. Dansk, I didn't check my e-mails at home until the other night and noticed your last email to me in April Oops, you must have thought I was shunning you. Anyway, I do get along with my mother-in-law and father-in-law, and I'm being honest. We have a great relationship.

  Have a great day.

  edited for correct spelling, because I'm having a busy day.

  Welcome to the shunned group Dansk. Wish I could laugh when they do it to me.. I feel so sorry for them ....I spoke at a High school on Wednesday 17-18 yr olds. There was a black boy in the class who was speaking up for Jws. He must have been one.I had handed out the FIVE MARKS OF A CULT,info.He was going on >BEFORE I got up saying how JWs never make money- they practice what they preach. they are really sincere- unlike Christindom. Etc Etc...I felt so sorry for him so if any pray on here -pray for the black boy in Graces cult class.
  Then when I got up I address him directly & said YES they did practice what they preach, Yes they were sincere in what they believe- I told him I loved them but let us go down the list of how to identify a cult..... Of course they fit all of them ...Conditional love- exclusive only group-us against them- works-
  keeping their followers so busy they cannot research & independent thinking a no-no. The poor boy was watching the clock & sinking further into his chair- I knew this was VERY Hard for him to listen to.So I said "I think my time is up" but the teacher said "No you have another 15 min" The calss had so many questions. Was shocked to hear no flag saluting- lying is allowed to those who dont deserve the truth. Birthday, Christmas, Mothers day... But I cant forget the black boy- Do me a favor send your vibes his way....

  Turn this golden opportunity into a chance to give a Reverse-Witness (TM)

  If there are any innocent bystanders within earshot, here is what you do.

  Walk up to the unsuspecting Dub, and see to it that your obnoxiously loud enough or noticeable enough that people within view and listening distance can notice that they are avoiding you. Then you point to the Dub and address the other people, informing them that this person is instructed by their religion to treat you as though you were dead and not hold any form of conversation or affiliation with you simply because you chose to leave their religion. Emphasize the fact that it is not because you are a bad person or have ever done anything to them, but only because you used your freedom of choice and decided to stop attending their religious services. Then, as most people know, Jehovah's Witnesses are most well known for going door-to-door placing magazines. They ask that people have an open enough mind to listen to their message and see what their religion is about. However if you use that same open mind and decide not to attend any more, they shun you and take away any employment opportunities, decades long friendships, and anything else so as to completely cut you off. The practice has divided families and turned parents and children and siblings against one another. At that point, the horrified audience will look at the Dub. If they are still there, look at them and say.. isn't that true? You tried to avoid me in front of all these people. Either admit it or lie in front of all these people and your God. Or shall I go get literature to prove it? I guarantee at this juncture the Dumb Dub will either be shocked and speechless and scramble or already be long gone and done a vanishing act so as to not have to address questions.

  I hate Jehovah's Witnesses. Use an opportunity like that to inform the public of their destructive doctrine and practices.
