urghhh... what a disgusting study!7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
the mother wanted to visit anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family.
That last paragraph is actually another example of how they're starting to go after faders who no longer believe their bullshit.
In a recent thread about the upcoming RC it was pointed out that one talk in particular may well put this forward more forcefully.
channel 4 have commissioned a study into attitudes among british muslims.. the documentary starts in an hour from now at 10pm.
if you watch it live or on 4od please share your thoughts.. unlike many other surveys of muslim opinion, which have predominantly been done by phone or online, icm used face-to-face, in-home research to question a representative sample of 1,000 muslims across great britain.
icm also used a “control sample” to compare what british muslims thought with the rest of the british population.. at the top-line level, the survey suggests that a mainstream british muslim majority have similar values and attitudes to the wider british public on issues such as support for british institutions and a feeling of belonging to britain.. but looking deeper into the results, a chasm develops between those muslims surveyed and the wider population on attitudes to liberal values on issues such as gender equality, homosexuality and issues relating to freedom of expression.
i recently decided to take matters into my own hands with my husbands family who have nothing to do with us.
his mom has seen my son twice since he has been born and his dad has never met him.
his family will pop in every few months, on top of that like in my last post ask for for money.
As a father of two and having exited the cult a couple years ago I say cut them loose. Life's short God dammit.
My wife and I have made it perfectly clear to my mother that if she decided to shun us if we ever got dfd that she'd be the one losing out, as shed be the one to cut her relationship with her grandchildren.
You don't deserve to be treated this way oh and I would tell your husbands ex to royally F@#k off!
Live your lives and be as happy as can be!
will you be a survivor of the last days?.
serving with jehovah’s unified organization.
move ahead with jehovah’s unified organization.
is it a fact that all kh construction earth wide has stopped?
My old congregation was supposed to be getting a new hall to share with another congregation 10 miles away. This was at least 6 years ago. The other hall was worth a lot more and has been sold for a couple years now, so they're left sharing our old one.
Still no sign of the new one being built anytime soon!
wowsers!
they are really hitting it now.
don't strive for a cell phone or a motorcycle.
Pretty much everyone has a mobile phone these days so I think they missed the train on that one. Idiots!
my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.
we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.
we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.
interesting to see if there's a noticeable trend in memorial attendance.
also did they talk more then usual about ones not to partake?
was told by someone that a receipt article eluded to the fact that satan can cause natural disasters.
i don't see how i could have missed this.
doesn't anyone remember this?
Wouldn't be much of a 'Natural' disaster if it was caused by a super human power.
It was always 'time and unforseen occurrence befalls us all', whenever it came up in any conversation or meetings I attended, with a little Satan using these to try our faith thrown in for good measure.
l think the real figure would be a real nail in the coffin for jw believers.lf the elders knew what l knew they would have a field day.many many jdubs live a double life.lovey dovey at the hall and totally different people at home and work.my guess is many dubs are schizophrenic and in need of help.with all the brain washing lm not surprised.what have others observed.
