i'll start--i resigned in 1971, but attended occasionally as a non-interested husband to keep the wife sweet, untill my last circuit assembly in autumn 1980. no connection with the cult since then.

so--its either 47 or 38 years, depending on how you see it.. which begs the question--why am i on this site now ?.

1972. Why am I here? Well - I'm not going to write off the first 26 years of my life, am I?

Do Witnesses Experience Racial Discrimination To Your Knowledge?

by minimus in

jw
friends

my experience in the kingdom hall was that racial discrimination and profiling was not typically practiced....that i know of.

i was in a diverse city with every type of skin color and nationality imaginable.. i’m wondering if the witnesses have changed due to the current affairs exposed by the media everyday.

are there discrimination issues in jw land??

snugglebunny

Dunno. In 18 years of being a JW, I never encountered a black person in any congregation that I attended. One Asian gentlemen and his family, that was all.

Jehovah's Witnesses Scripturally Based Position on Child Protection

jehovah's witnesses scripturally based position on child protection.

i am having trouble understanding paragraph 5. it says: .

snugglebunny

Even if the elders have no legal duty to report an accusation to the authorities, the branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses will instruct the elders to report the matter if a minor is still in danger of abuse or there is some other valid reason.

So basically it should only be reported if there is a danger of the child being molested again. Don't bother if it's just a one-off. Or there's been lots of occasions but it's not expected to happen again. Bastards.

JW stance on blood transfusions for animals?

by phats in

our dog needed some serius surgery recently & my wife (still in) was very concerned that if he needed a blood transfusion she thought this would constitute a misuse of blood.

i was stunned as never heard of this.. is this a thing?

i left 12 years ago & wondered if it's always been or introduced in the years after my leaving.. any info would be great.. phats.

I seem to recall there was also an edict re the deliberate feeding of bloody food to a pet. But that was 50 years ago!

Shunning: Reasoning With JW's

by The Fall Guy in

perhaps this line of questioning could agitate a jw's thinking.

it can't hurt.. you: is shunning a biblical teaching?.

jw: yes.. you: so it must be god's law?.

snugglebunny

Years ago, I finished up living next door to JW's. They knew all about me and called to tell me that as I was disfellowshipped, they wouldn't be speaking to me. Oh OK then... So I asked them what it was that I was DF'd for? They said that they didn't know. So then I asked them if they were happy to shun someone even when they didn't know why they had to be shunned? Exit JW's in confusion..

go to minute nine for the third clip.

what is up with that hair???

snugglebunny

I'm just astonished that the JW fella being harassed in the 9th minute onwards didn't tell his aggressor to fuck off.
