they tell you it's 'loving".

baloney!.

disfellowshipping is cruel punishment.. it is not "christian".. .
phats

Yes Minimus. But is has to be that cruel or it dose'nt work. It's the extremeness if the pain it causes that keep the r&f all in step.

It's what keeps me from shouting out from every rooftop how bad the LO "Loving Organization" really are but I don't. What to do? Go with you're pride & suffer the cruelty? Or Play at there game but maybe lose some self dignity by keeping domed down but free.

If they were to be any way close to humane they would never use the shun gun but. They would have no flock because so many stay in solely because of the fear of being shunned.

It works.... That's all it needs to do & man is it good at it.

Peace, Phats.

i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.

by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.

a brief bio.

It really shows how the borg instills this fear that they will punish us or we will get into trouble for looking elsewhere rather than the love they pertain to have for there sheep. If they truly loved us I don't think that's the way to show us there love but as they don't they only have the stick left in there arsenal to threaten us with.

So good to say hi Purr & Lurke,

It's encouraging to see so many putting 2 & 2 together & not getting the WT 4 but there own 4.

Keep looking, Keep searching. Always remember, information is for everyone & it's our job to work things out for ourselves. We don't need someone else to do it for us.

Sorry DocHouse. I can't work out if your last post is simply the standard JW bollocks I am used to getting.

When faith comes from a third party then it's not faith at all in my opinion. It may well be hope or desperation or a load of things but for me faith must be attached to the best evidence "you" can muster. When your evidence is spoon fed & prepared for you by someone else then all you get is what someone else wants you to get.

My faith is stronger now than ever as now I can have faith in things that I can research without threats masked with lies & false agendas from strangers that don't have my best interests at heart.

When You See A Witness What's Your Reaction?
by minimus in

is it a feeling of---oh no!!?.

are you happy to see them?.

do you have a feeling of consternation?.
phats

I tend to only see them in Waitrose getting there free coffee so when I pass by I make a conscious move over to say hello with my hand outstretched. This tends to unnerve them so with a big smile & friendly positive demeanour I look them straight in the eye I say hello how are you? Then when they reply & ask how I am I tell them all the positive things that have happened in a quick & condensed fashion, close with a yes, I feel truly blest & then say oops I'm late for an important meeting & leave very happy & content. I can't help chuckle when I see the look on there faces.

The best revenge is just being happy, it throws them every time

Ha. MissFit. If you mean me (Phats) This is my inner self. Big Smile, a bit freaky & hiding behind a disguise.

My outside life & persona is all very different.

Don't be scared.
