  aspects of shunning

  by stan livedeath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many members on here have been shunned.

  we know whats its like--and the effect it has had on our lives.

  but what about those of us who practiced shunning before--when we were members of the watchtower cult ?.

  going back over 50 years..my pal's older brother was d/f for adultery, we had to shun him, he seemed to stay out for years.

  the brother that conducted studies with my mum and dad--and seperately with me--as a kid.....also had a study with a young married couple his own age.. long story short--he ended up shagging the wife, both fessed up and were d/f for it. husband divorced the wife. they were shunned--but after a year were reinstated and married.

  i dont think shunning made a scrap of difference. the first mentioned chap was putting it around--and going to casinos--smoking--living the high life. no intention of going back--not till years later

  the adulterous couple merely served their time and were reinstated and welcomed back with open arms.

  how did it make you feel ? bad ? good ? superior ? more " spiritual"?

  do you think it did any good ? did the shunned person return to the cult as a result ?

  or did it drive them further away--or permanently ?

  do you really think it serves any positive purpose ?

  2. experiences

  ok so im new here~ hey-yo!.

  i found this site cause i've been looking around at experiences of people leaving 'the truth' as i've been wanting to leave for some time now.

  it's interesting as y'know i'd never seen it from the other side as its apostate literature and all that jazz lol.

  well--if thats where the watchtower growth is coming from---its fine with me. hallelujah !

  i dont think the cult will die off--not with members like that...

  ...but i could well imagine a break away faction of the more intelligent--higher earners--wanting to distance themselves from that holy roller type of cult freakery.

  drummer out of The Shadows who became a JW 'jazzed' up some of the songs, t

  
  

  the only drummers i recall in The Shadows line up--wereTony Meehan and then Brian Bennett. i dont think either of them became dubs. i could be wrong of course.

  Brian (liquorice ) Locking was one--and of course --Hank ( also a Brian ) Marvin. both were guitarists.

  for those who have no idea who we are talking about--the Shadows were Cliff Richards' backing group originally.

  Cong accounts analysis?

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone on here an ex accounts servant?

  i’d be interested in a projection of what percentage of contributions come from elderly jw’s.

  i.e, money that will be diminishing over next 5 or 10 years as these ones pass on.. i estimate that in one of my previous congs 50% of the contribution totals of approximately £400 each month were being made by the over 70’s demographic.. within the other 50% were pioneers and low paid workers who put in regular but small amounts.. i guess when the accountants ring the alarm bells you start cutting the biggest costs; full time servants, buildings, printed literature.

  my late father donated £100 a month --until 5 years ago when he went into a care home---and i took over all his financial affairs.; you can guess what happened next.

  The 101 ways to use a Troll

  by days of future passed in

  1. social
  2. humour

  after being around for a few years reading, then posting - i've realized the usefulness of trolls.

  for 1. they expose what type of person they are.. 2. trolls are very good once you roast them.

  many are not able to march up to the wt and give them a piece of our mind.

  the recent cigar smoking jw troll was most likely a member already on here who created a fake a/c to post crap and stir the pot--which he / she did very successfuly. i'm only disappointed he/she didnt wish us all a merry christmas.

  ok--hands up--who was it?
