  The more time I spend with "worldly people" the more I realize...

  ... that they actually have more of a desire to get to knoww you then jehovah's witnesses.

  for years at the kingdom hall although i was an elder everyone "knew of me" but no one knew me.

  i realized that i never really had a friend who knew anything about me as a person or my background.

  If you're channeling to me you aren't getting through. Better work on your skills.

  Seriously? You don't know why the police weren't informed?

  Bitter apostates

  by Laika in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  witnesses often go on about apostates being spiteful and bitter.

  when you get cut off, shunned, or threatened with shunning just for the audacity of thinking differently, it's not surprising that getting angry at the witnesses is the reaction - it's like a self fulfilling prophecy.. but also, i recently posted an email from a 'friend' on this board who told me that everyone he'd spoken to about me said i had changed, become like another person.

  it didn't occur to him that the day before i told my parents i'd quit the religion just 3 weeks ago, i met him for lunch, we had a good time and he didn't know anything was up.

  I am married to a Mormon and am familiar with their teachings one thing

  I want to say is Mormons do not shun others in fact many members do not

  even know when a member is excommunicated and if they do know they still

  associate with them. In all the years I have been married to my wife and attend

  many services I have never seen anyone shunned.

  I've talked to Mormon missionaries about shunning and got them to admit that it does happen, although they said that it isn't part of their doctrine and it shouldn't be happening. It took them a while to admit to it, so it leads me to believe it happens more ofthen than they are willing to acknowledge.

  Zeb, that's one of my favorite poems. Here it is in its entirety.

  High Flight by John Magee

  Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,

  And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.

  Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth

  Of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things

  You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung

  High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,

  I've chased the shouting wind along and flung

  My eager craft through footless halls of air.

  Up, up, the long delirious burning blue

  I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,

  Where never lark or even eagle flew -

  And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod

  The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

  Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

  The author of this poem was actually an American who enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force before the United States entered the war. He died in a mid-air collision between his Spitfire and a "friendly" trainer aircraft. He was just 19.

  When I was a kid growing up in the '60s I'd stay up late just to see this when the local TV station signed off. Eventually, I memorized it.

  "Any website that is not the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses should not be trusted even if they look to be OK. The Organisation of Jehovah's Witnesses ask brothers not to have their own websites so if they don't, they are actually rebelling against Jehovah."

  And yet they have their own website, so they are rebelling against Jehovah the WT.
