just one left, my sister.
i haven't talk to her in over 15 years.
the rest are all dead.. i'm not counting my ex wife and all her family.... .
Ours are not outright shunning us YET. They keep their distance and seem to dodge us. Only family emergencies or invites to any WT event (you know...."spiritual" things). lol
We have a few "friends" doing the same thing, It's like you have horns and a pitch fork!
As far as we are concerned they can take a hike. Who needs em! Life is to short and we gotta go live it. Good riddance to em!
our goal is to help our bible student to grow spiritually.. .
as his love for jehovah grows, however, he will likely begin to think about how he can help others, including those who are already part of the congregation.

Yes..."the privilege." They have NO shame.
a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.
is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?
taot.
Thank you Blondie. It just does surprise me anymore what we used to be a part of. The judgement and coldness of this cult is just staggering.
I loved the last part when she mentioned, that when you wake up, you see the world differently. So so true!!
Her book was a must read!!! Loved it!
what unique to jws phrases do you remember?
something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.
there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.
"exemplary ones" Ass kissers that tick all the JW boxes. As long as they look good on the outside, who cares what's on the inside. I'm thinking, "whitewashed graves full of dead mens bones."
"kingdom interests" It's okay for a good JW to go off to college, as long as he is doing it for "kingdom interests." This has actually been said to me. In other words, he or she can go off to college as long as it can benefit WT ($$$$$).
from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.
also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.
8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.
Magnum, loved your post. Spot on!
"but what if we found it wasn't a lie?"
THIS IS WHAT WT AND THE GB ARE TERRIFIED OF!!! Oh....how I love to see them sweat!!
since now tv.jw.org is offline and merged into a restyled jw.org.. the whole page has changed, and broadcasting is a small part of the jw.org page.. g..
One stop shop. You can get ALL your "spiritual food" at one store. Oh...and you can donate too! lol How convenient!
The new 700 club!
the watchtower's many legal problems and the jws' use of carts in their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film patton.. in a scene where patton is viewing a battle site the morning after, he says to an aide about the nazis: “you know how i know that they're finished out there?
in my dreams i saw the carts.
they kept buzzing around in my head and i couldn't figure out why.
"If they relax shunning, apostasy will escalate massively."
Exactly!
If they get rid of the prohibition on blood, there will also be a mass exit and tons of law suits. WT knows this and this is why those 2 practices are still full on.
matt 28: 19 is the year text.
new understanding on joel ch 2 who are the locusts?.
there is a new building addition to warwick in the works.
"Faithful and prudent slave is officially being used now in some congregations."
Just curious, why only in some congregations?
watchtower 1953, may 1st, pg.284, par.16.
16 is the watch tower bible and tract society god’s woman or universal organization?

Not sure exactly how the "apostate question" is worded (something like...do you believe that WT is god's earthly organization). This article blows holes in that line of questioning and reasoning.
