  What has been your own personal experience of shunning?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am interested in finding out on a small scale the extent of which shunning has impacted on you personally.. my own experience is that when i faded about 12 years ago.

  the woman whose house the book study was held at (and who was virtually a neighbour) walked right past me in my own street.

  i remember it so well.

  Geoffrey Jackson 2006 Convention Talk - Keep In Expectation As Jehovahs Day Draws Near

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  two ironys here... first of all the title "keep in expectation as jehovahs day draws near" - (this talk is from 2006!!

  ) i suppose 11 years isnt near enough.

  second is that geoffrey jackson, of all people, is giving a talk that goes on and on about liars and how jehovah never lies.

  @Steve2

  "Why is a raven like a writing desk?

  I haven't the slightest idea"

  Is yours an enigma

  Or are they both nonsense

  I know what I believe

  Working in Convention accounts we were told

  that ConventionsTM were the single biggest source of the Society's

  income

  @paladin1 I know from past years that the reason usually has to do with

  the logistics of stadium rental at a deemed reasonable rate

  Coupled with hotels/motels that will cooperate with Watch Tower

  Making life and death/life altering decisions based on commands from someone you're not sure exists

  straight from the off, i will say that i'm 100% atheist.

  i have no faith.

  however, it occurred to me while thinking back over my involvement with the jw religion and especially when i take into account personal and family situations where people have made life altering choices due to being jw's, just how crazy it really is.

  Re: Rainbow_ Troll Re: blood transfusions if you don't want to be

  disassociatedTM"

  A bit of a headache but, save your life, then (your choice) confess or wait

  for if/when you get caught then exercise heartfelt repentanceTM, the

  pressure of the situation etc,

  Personally I would just be out of there and find new friends outside of the

  cult

  2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

  by darkspilver in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

  i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

  note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

  When Jehovah stuffs the life out of 8.5 BILLION people He will make sure

  that each knows that He doesn't hate them

  Re: steve2

  Watch Tower has been relying on an infusion of youth for as long

  as I can remember (and that's a long time)

  I've seen a lot of folks forgotten in Seniors' Homes

  No Elder's (ironic) visits as time can't be counted,

  I don't remember any CO visit where bros were encouraged to visit the elderly

  It's been stated "any society is judged by how it treats it's most vulnerable

  members"

  I judge "The Society" as being sick

  Encourage the young lemmings to "Not Give Up"

  That's the way it's always been

  Maybe a "worldly" person would think that the JWs are trying

  to encourage folks in view of the Trump Presidency

  Re: scratchme1010

  "I shunned them"

  I like this idea,

  I takes away their sense of control

  It pokes at their sense of self righteousness

  The Gospel writers had something to say about the latter

  I was appalled by Deborah Frances White's story

  of being detained in a Vancouver KH

  For interrogation

  Above the law even, apparently,

  There's a joke that goes around about if everlasting life involves

  Living forever with Jehovah's Witnesses

  They're not interested

  I concur
