  Is this what the society imagines will be above that 'secret hiding room' in the basement?

  Just trying to understand their 'thinking'. What is the logic? How can anything in the Bible lead a person to think a nuclear bomb would be used by Jehovah? Armageddon, the war of God Almighty, and he uses nuclear bombs?

  people from dissimilar groups appear equally as happy.. is happiness a sign of spiritual blessings or rather minds manipulated by people or organizations?.

  Are we pro-shunning or against it?

  by Simon in

  just to continue my theme about religious freedom and how we approach criticizing the wts, i've also been thinking about 'shunning'.. i think shunning is the most unifying complaint that most ex-members of religious groups that practice it have in common.

  it is the layer that runs under every other complaint - whatever the reason for leaving it seems "... and i was shunned" can be added to it as the final rap on the charge sheet.. of course it seems like a no-brainer to many of us and we hardly ever stop to really think about it - shunning is bad, the watchtower believes in shunning therefore the watchtower is bad.

  they need to stop it.

  Isn't the real issue not that we don't agree or disagree with shunning per-se, but that we disagree with who should and shouldn't be shunned and why.

  Of course, this is the core of the issue. Many people should be shunned and for many reasons. Society shuns people in many ways. Probably the most extreme is incarceration in solitary confinement.
