    It is funny to contemplate how ridiculous the act of shunning "apostates" who leave the org for conscientious reasons is.

    So we have been rudely ignored and even abused by JWs who :

    1) Have been imprisoned recently for dishonest business practices and fraud worth millions of dollars

    2) Have been bankrupt several times

    3) Have cheated on their spouses, and neglected family responsibilities

    4) Swear, get drunk and act like fools at events like sports games

    I chuckle to myself really to see these ones act so self-righteously and shun ones like us because of slanderous gossip that they hear through the witness grapevine. They don't know why we all really left. Who knows what they have been told through gossip.

    Yet, we never judged them, or ignored them when they acted in the ways outlined as above.

    When you're a JWS your not suppose to judge and talk about the misdeeds of their brothers and sisters.

    It brings reproach onto Jehovah's earthly arrangement.

    ....... but by golly apostate ex-jws are free to demean and expose these mentally diseased ones at any moment for in doing so shows their devotion and loyalty to Jehovah.

    Oi stuck, yr so right mate, a raving reinstated pedophile can mingle among the cong and talk to his friends and family but the ones who walk away and who's only perceived crime is to disagree with "the truth" are treated worse than leppers, at least people felt sorry for the leppers!..

    Interesting hearing some of yr interactions with jw of late,.. sad

    I find it funny that Jehovah and Jesus Christ never shunned Satan and Jehovah is going to give his buddy Satan a free pass to cause havoc on mankind after Jesus Christ 1000 year rule ends . Job , Mat, Revelation .

    But he is a God of love isn`t he .

    I don't use the term apostate at all. That's their lingo, and I don't follow their stupid rules.

    ...Rape and murder, probably.

    The Lannisters would fit right in.

    It's like they gleefully enjoy it when a "fellow brother" falls from grace. In my experience with fading the "slacker""double-lifer" JWs have been the worst or depending how you look at it the best shunners - go figure.

    "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" ? ...Yeah, I don't think so, this religion owns the template for creating the perfect hypocrite.
