"We don't shun, we just won't speak or associate with you until you return to "Jehovah" (aka...the organization). lol
You just can't make this stuff up. They don't even realize what they say. Too funny! Good riddance to em!

39Email from JW relative/elder
by Lynnie inas much as i enjoy you and pete's company, you also know our understanding of how much we want you to be reunited with jehovah and his people.. .
we did not set the standards for what jehovah says about our associations with those who choose to not serve him.
so we will always be there for you and pete, but it is in your hands as to how we can enjoy your friendship.. .

'Experiences(tm)'! Made up or totally true??
by punkofnice inat one assembly(tm), i was asked to relate an 'experience(tm)' which i did.
however, during rehearsals, the geezer in charge elder or co or some such title, told me that i shouldn't tell it the way it was.
i did a 're-enactment(tm)' with another 'brother(tm)'.

We saw this first hand at one of the last assemblies we attended.
One brother from our hall gave the experience that he moved from another city and really "simplified." What the audience did not know is that he moved from a million dollar home and moved into a $600K home. lol
Another one was a young girl, with her parents. How did her parents "train her up right?" Study, service and meeting attendance. What the audience did not know, was this girl had been DF'd just 6 months prior to the demo for sleeping with her JW Boyfriend.
Another....a young girl being interviewed on how she maintained her integrity throughout High School. What the audience did not know is that she was going onto college for a 4 year degree. Funny, the CO that was interviewing her did not ask what her future plans were. He knew but put her on the state anyway. She had the look. What a joke!!!
Show people who love to parade themselves and their children around. Great actors!!!

"My wife (And many other JW children) were forbidden to watch the show simply because Fred Rogers was a Presbyterian minister."
The JW's could take a page from his book. If only the JW's were as kind and compassionate. It would draw more people in.

Cart Witnessing....They deserve the same ''cold shoulder''
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhere is a man named jerry.
on a public sidewalk, he asks attendees leaving a jehovah's witness convention in san diego a simple question, ''do jehovah's witnesses have the truth.
not one person acknowledges him.

Turnabout is fair play!
I'm sure we have all heard the "some JW's loose their family, once they start studying with the witnesses." Oh, they don't like it when it's done to them but they have no problem treating others the way they don't like. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITES WALKING THE PLANTET!

"I would say it did begin to fizzle when I was leaving at the time of the new light(tm) overlapping generations(tm)."
Same here Punk! The overlapping generation was the nail in the coffin for us. What a bogus way to move the goal posts. Who came up with that one? lol

I actually think some of the Elders "get off" punishing others. I had a Elder come after us, during our fade. He was relentless. Was gonna get us DF'd if it was the last thing he ever did.

We can see it in our very own family. No retirement, no savings, some family members never married or had children. Health problems and financial problems. Lack of education left them in low paying jobs that they are still working well into their 60's and 70's. They are tired. They won't admit it but they have been duped. We know it and we have said it but they won't admit it. There is one problem....we can see it all over their faces.

"His eldu brother threatened me and another family member over this issue!!!"
I had something similar done to me and my spouse during our fade several years ago. We called his bluff and went head to head with him. He didn't know what to do. At that point and time we didn't care if they DF'd us (they had no grounds). They don't know what to do when you challenge their fictitous authority. They are not the cops or the IRS they are little men who have a WT badge and cap. lol
Not sure what your situation is but I'd take that little sh*t to task and run all over his head. lol
It was actually fun to do and watch their faces. -
