  The right to shun - wrong?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.

  it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.

  of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.

  The sooner every individual JW realizes that they do not have to obey the WT the sooner this madness will end.

  Maybe they should devise an algorithm for determining annointedism.

  Have they ever considered that some of the "partakers" were just great crowd members who felt peckish because they went to the memorial straight after work and didn't have time to eat???

  Lol.

  The "annointed" they want you to "$upport" is the GB.

  By that logic, if you counted all the JWs with "mental and emotional" problems how many JWs would you have left?

  Shouldn't that be "Why be honest to those who don't deserve the truth, like the police, the media, the brothers and sisters, the householders, the world?"

  Any "power" JW elders have is only a percieved power.

  The elders manual is not a legitimate law book.

  The GB is not a legitimate agency with any legitimate power to do anything.
