  How Do You Handle Hypocrisy?

  how do you handle hypocrisy?

  appears in the november 15, 2001 watchtower.

  the article intrigues me because instead of a clear-cut condemnation of hypocrisy, the article wavers back and forth.. first, the writer defines hypocrisy:.

  On shunning

  by joelbear in

  1. jw

  on shunning.. the watchtower basically points to two reasons to shun people:.

  1) it will make the wrongdoer think about their course of life and help them to come back to "the truth".. 2) it will protect your faith in jehovah and will keep you from being stumbled.. i think there are really 2 other reasons.. 1) fear of being shunned themselves for associating with you.. 2) to punish you for not thinking or being like them anymore.

  kind of a revenge thing.

  Hey NY...ever call someone you loved a naughty name?

  Joel, I know how you feel. Shunning has really just started to hit me recently and I don't think it's trivial at all.

  Reasons to Quit

  by Frenchy in

  -some of you might recognize that caption as the title to one of merle and willie's biggest hits but this is not about drugs and alcohol but about something many of us here hold in common.. i have read many reasons stated here for those who have left the organization either formally (through df'ing or da'ing) and those that are still technically in but mentally out.

  some (quite a few as i expected) have left to pursue lifestyles inconsistent with teachings which they evidently once held dear (they were questioned about those beliefs prior to baptism) but have now abandoned.

  that reasoning is absurd but it makes good sense to the rank and file.

  did anyone else get this spam?.

  it is wonderful, but i'm afraid whoever sent it is serious... i use the old '666' barcode thing to wind religious people up when i am bored, but surely they can't be serious?.

  dear brothers and sisters.. .

  indeed... since i decided that i wouldn't be a publisher any longer and make no more talks, i've noticed more people avoiding me, talking less to me, etc.

  i mean, what is this crap?

  i wasn't baptized, i still maintain exemplary behaviour, etc.

  I'm sorry to hear that Serena, but I think that you can find much rewarding friends elseware. I hope you do. Since I left, my heart has been so light-I hope you can forget all of them. Just forget her-some people are hopeless.

  All you wanted to do was share something funny.

  I'm sorry about it. Take it easy.

  Two sex questions

  by Seeker4 in

  ok, have had enough to drink tonight so i will toss these two questions out.

  will discuss this a bit more tomorrow.. 1. how many of you had sex outside of your marriage after leaving the witnesses?

  provide whatever details about how and why that you're comfortable with.. 2. funny question: had a friend write me today that probably more jws per capita enjoyed oral sex the night they read it was a "conscience matter" than any other group in the us.

  The oral sex ban makes no sense, I even said so to an elder once...that was a popular opinion...lol.

  I never once f-'ed before marriage, but after....Jesus, lord have mercy.

  I know what you mean man. Traitors, absolute f**king traitors. I've had it myself. Take is easy though, drift away, don't go out in a blaze of glory, much better for the stomach.
