  Partaking of wine being offered to you at an event you were invited to is hardly the crime of the century.

  In the grand scheme of acts of civil unrest this is paddling around in the kiddie pool.

  Jehovah's Witnesses need to get over themselves.

  are df, da and apostates still shunned?

  are each treated differently?

  i heard a secondhand report that they seemed to have eased up on this practice ...

  Pre-emptive shunning.

  Casual shunning.

  Partial shunning.

  Full shunning.

  Yes, all of the above is still going on "with bells on." You don't even have to be DF or inactive just "possible bad association."

  Why not put clearly in their "invitations" that if you decide to come you are not allowed to partake!!

  sainsbury's has been forced to apologise after its jehovah's witness chef refused to serve a customer black pudding with his full english breakfast.alan mackay was stunned when he was told he could not enjoy the staple, made up of animal fat, blood and oatmeal, with his meal at the branch in arnold, nottingham.after receiving his incomplete dish the former police officer was told the black pudding would not be served because it was against the religious beliefs of the chef to do so....

  congregations are full of older ones who were led to expect the end when they were still young enough to work ,and stay forever young.

  now these ones face a sparse old age with little provision set aside.

  the article ""do not be afraid .

  Why all the hate...

  No-blood policy.

  Shunning policy.

  Anti higher education stance.

  Their "two-witness rule" applied to child abuse.

  Not reporting child abuse.

  Retraumatising victims of child abuse by subjecting them to interogation by men unqualified and untrained to deal with child abuse, let alone investigate and pass judgement.

  Labelling any members who disagree with their teachings and policies as "mentally diseased appstates."

  Labelling non-members who disagree with their teachings and policies as "opposers."

  Teaching women should be "in subjection" to men.

  Oh and they are judgemental, narissistic, close-minded pains in the arse.

  What's not to hate?

  The memorial songs sucked.

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  i don't know who the idiots are that write, or approve these songs, ( the creative team of lett and tomo??

  ) but they suck!!

  there is a line in the first song ( # 147 ) that blatantly contradicts the wtbts dogma of the heavenly calling being an invitation as opposed to a sure thing.

  Holiday by Madonna would more fun, but I wouldn't want to insult Madonna.
