No matter how it is done, the disfellowshipping is unloving, unkind and no matter what they say Jesus would not have done it. I am so sorry for all of you on here that have had the shunning done to you. It hurt's no matter who you are. Hang in there you all...we are here for you.

57"Normal family affections and dealings" continue - If only?!?
by LHS123 ini am new to this forum - it is only a couple of weeks since i have allowed myself to acknowledge and research my doubts.
i am trying to be fair by reading both sides of the story and considering jw official explanation of confusing matters.
one of the issues i have been looking at is shunning - and i was shocked to see the misleading information about shunning on the jw.org website: .

I 100% agee! We will never be the same people that we were before we left. We are not bragging but we both feel we are better people. We can finally soar and not worry about what everyone will think. -

LHS123...the one thing the JW's do GREAT is talk out both sides of their mouths. They also say that they are the most loving group of people on the face of the planet. As a family, we know differently.
I know this may not be the case with every Circuit overseer but the majority walk around like little demi Gods. I have watched my entire life these "appointed by Holy Spirit" men act like God just spoke to them and sent them from above.
Ask your self this. In Ephesians 5:3 it says , " Let sexual immorality and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you, just as is proper for hole people." I find this scripture funny because it seems the JW's talk about Sex more than anyone else. See a pattern here? I have sat through meetings and assemblies and wanted to crawl under the seat because of some of the sexual acts being mentioned from the platform, while my little ones were listening.
Remember the figure of speech from Hamlet "The lady doth protest too much". It is a figure of speech to indicate that someones frequent attempts to convince others of something has helped to convince others that the opposite is true. That describes the JW's to a tee! It may also be described by the work Hypocrisy. This is the main reason we left then we learned TTATT and will NEVER go back!!!!!

When my kids were little I tried to avoid the crowded areas so my kids wouldn't get trampled. These people are so selfish and have the me first attitude. It's always fun to contain a fidgety active 2 year old for 3 days of sitting at a mind numbing assembly. I used to bring books and other stuff to entertain my kids. The dirty looks were amazing. Oh! If you had to get up and walk the fidgety/fussy 2 year old then you would get the "Please be seated" sign stuck in your face. I always wanted to leave the 2 year old with the Ass***** who would stick the sign in my face. I would love to see how the little dweeb handled the kid. lol -

"They 'thought' themselves out of the truth, and clearly they are living an unhappy life now!"
by stuckinarut2 inyep, these gems and comments were used in the talk today:.
speaking of ones who "failed to show appreciation for all the rich spiritual food we get from the f&ds", the speaker said this:.
"many have even failed to keep up with everything we are lovingly provided by christ's brothers, and rather than keeping their faith strong, they have become complacent and even critical ofjehovah's provisions!

Earthquake!.. and JW superstition.
by apocalypse inwhile in service on saturday, i was sitting with an elder that i have known for years having a coffee break.
we were discussing the up-coming convention and what we had to do etc.
then, (there was a tv up on the wall in the coffee place where we were) on the screen burst the news of the nepal earthquake.

Yeah...9/11 was interesting at the KH. All the spiritual losers showed up. You couldn't find a seat. Who knew that 13 years later we'd be the spiritual losers. We finally figured out what the word "spiritual" meant. Spiritual ='s JW tasks! -

We attend a lot of concerts (big venues) in a large city. It's amazing that we make it to the building and back without a 6 minute cartoon video reminding us how to do it. It was like watching a video for a 5 year olds. So lets get this straight, JW's need to be reminded not to be rude (hmmm!). They are the rudest/pushiest bunch of people on the face to the earth. If you don't believe it, volunteer to be an attendant at a assembly. -
