  Speaking of Shunning

  by North Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who don't know me i've never been jw but am interesting in understanding.

  anyways, i was wondering when you were a practicing jw and you had to shun people, deep down how did you feel?

  did you feel right in doing so or did you always know that it wasn't right?

  Demonized Software...

  by Agent 1 of 1 in

  2. beliefs

  how does the society view software or media that seems to be from the devil?

  if i'm watching a satanic ritual file downloaded from a web site, is that file demonized?

  if the original file is possessed and gets duplicated, are all the other duplicated files possessed as well?

  What's up with JWs only loving each other?

  by new light in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how can it be called love when it is contingent on religious fervor?

  i saw first hand today how some dubs only respect those of the faith, while dismissing others as scum.

  their ridiculous, unnecessary preaching work is their only claim to being christ's followers.

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  .

  earlier this season there were some reports and accusations of racism in the voting for the american idol.. but now with the last two seasons being capped off with a black and white finalist and the black singer winning both times should this put to rest the accusations?

  JW - non JW relationships

  by sjf84 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure that if i had come to this website as a non-jw looking for information on this cult when i was dating my jw girlfriend, i would not have taken any notice of a message like this.

  but i cannot stress this enough to any non-jw in a relationship with a jw: get out now!

  it is only natural to believe that your relationship will be different to the other failed relationships between believers and non believers which you read about on boards like these.

  i was just reading a moving post by flower, that inspired this thread.

  Hi, I'm new to the site, and kind of don't understand...

  by my-journey in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just curious as to the aim of this website?

  i thought it was a discussion board for those interested in/ for jehovah's witnesses, but it seems like you're all former jehovah's witnesses?

  so is this site just to bash jehovah's witnesses?
