OMG shunning story
by man in black in
1. jw
2. experiences
my wife and i went to fedex / kinko's this afternoon and ran into a girl who was df'ed several years ago, (her parents are quite the rabid jw's.).

they have two daughters, and the younger one recently got married at the kh.. the older one who we were talking to proceeded to tell us that she decided to attend her younger sisters wedding ceremony which was fine despite the fact that nobody talked to her.. but after the wedding she was basically ushered out of the hall.

she was not allowed to participate in any pictures, or allowed to speak to the new couple.

Why do I no longer get attacked and persecuted by the demons, since I left JW,s ?
by pedal power in
1. jw

most jw.s really believe that they ( as we once did ) are promoting gods will, but what if they really are ?

is it possible that god is supporting them even though they (governing body ) lie, because most jw,s are ignorant of the lies told on their behalf, ?.

when i was a jw i got attacked by the demons bigtime, but not now, and i can only assume that they (demons ) are happy that i am no longer a jw and are now leaving me alone, cant think of any other reason, has god ever supported a group who were similarly found wanting ?.

May 15th WT - WT society uses Fear & Guilt to Prevent Materialism in JW's
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
once again , i couldn't resist sharing this wt study article from this issue.

it was just too good, or bad - depending on your perspective.

you will see the use of fear and guilt in this information - laying it on witnesses heavy as the title says " christian families - " keep ready " indicating armageddon is so close - so don't get wrapped up in materialism.. right from the get-go in the 1st paragraph fear tactics are used .

Mr. Falcon Asks......What's so bad about boxing?
by Mr. Falcon in

2. beliefs
i love boxing.

it kicks arse all over the place.

although it has lost some of it's prior glory and has waaaay too many classes that are televised and billed as "main events", it's still better than mma (sorry to any mma fans; i actually don't mind ufc, i'm just saying that i prefer traditional boxing).. anywho, what is the deal with jws hating on boxing?

one of my doubts i mentioned to my wife was actually posed as a question by a householder to her a few days ago.

i have every once in a while mentioned some doubts i have had on the bible.

i usually get the same response, "wait on jehovah".
