I know there was another thread of "how many people did you bring IN the truth," but how many people did you bring out of the truth? Sorry, I can't help it. LOL.
You can see that I am enjoying this site aye? :D lol I am sorry if I am annoying anyone... :( But I think that's an interesting question too. I think there would be a lot more brought out of the truth that IN, right?
See who breaks the record... I would like to see on the other thread on who broke the record on being a Jehovah's Witness pet? :D LOL! (dont' worry about it too much, they are pretty controlling people, you were just doing what you thought was right at the time -- Good grief it happened to me this [being involved with JW's thing.]

0! :D LOL
I think I would just encourage people these days is to learn about their pratices by "distance education." You know how you do school work at home? Some people do that due to certain circumstances...
Well, this is what I would do. I'll always say to people "dont' go," just read all the stuff at home! :)
(If you want...)
I wouldn't want someone to go there and then be treated badly, like what happened to me... They are as cold blooded as liquid nitrogen! (I remember one guy saying that on here! :D ) [Not all of them, some were genuine, but the general reception leaves a lot to be desired. You might have to bring in a hammer to knock of all the ice! :D ] -

Elder said I could Lie
by Es inlast week my ex husband sent a letter to the elders telling each and every one of them just what he felt about them.
as they were d/f him he figured this was his last chance.
in his letter he stated that as i had scriptural reason for divoce, so did he.

Es --
The thing is that a week before me ex sent his letter I sent my D/A letter, but its totally been dismissed.
But the tone in this elders voice was more of a "lie to us we dont care we just dont want you to leave, kinda tone if you get me. They know I am seeing a non believer and planning to get married if they think ive stayed completely chaste then they must be naive.
I guess it doesn't matter about the tone, they do have a negative bias anyway when they speak...
He probably spoke in the "right" tone to try to stuff you around, but you are not naive. ;) -

I am sorry if I am posting too much, but this is something I really detest....
Another way of looking at this topic, I sometimes think of The Simpsons.... :D I remember that episode where Homer says to Bart (because his banned from seeing him) [paraphrase] "Why would you want to hang around that 4-eyed jerk anyway?"
:D
"Friends will be friends - when you're in need of love they give you care and attention...
friends will be friends -- when your full of life and all hope is lost... hold out your friends (they'll be there **********VERY IMPORTANT THESE LAST LYRICS************* -------->>>>>RIGHT TO THE END!!!" -

I have to agree with Double Edge....
I make it a point to go out of my way to acknowledge them and then make them look small and petty to anyone who might be in the area. I show them that I am happy, successful, well adjusted and have moved on from their cult...and I make sure anyone watching knows that they are jdubs and just how cruel and silly their shunning game is.
I also regularly contact my family who are still in....I call, email and even stop by their house with my kids. It is their decision to obey the org and shun me...I dont follow the org's rules so I will contact them as much as I want and if it makes them uncomfortable....GOOD ! LOL
I couldn't wait to call my family and mention the changes to the awake publishing...and the pending announcement on March 20th about replacing the book....they are always dumbfounded that I know more about the org than they do... LOL

I shun anyone who shuns me. I have found shunning from Witness people to be the gift that keeps on giving. It's a good way to identify who is nice and who is mean. I stayed in the town I was raised in when I quit the unpaid pulp religious literature distribution business. Many Witnesses didn't treat me that good when I was a Witness. I like the shunning practice, I plan on continuing it. -

Don't take what they did to you personally chuckyy ....It's an impersonal organization
Its a religion with a group of people at the top who go to great pains to take away everyone's individuality.. You can't even acknowledge your own date of existence unless it's above a generalized statement. Whatever soul a person has before they become a dub is quickly squashed and put in chains once they're in.
I'm sorry bout that..

This is something Jehovah's Witnesses should keep in mind every time they shun someone... I love this scriptures, one of my favorites.
Hebrews 10:31 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of [the] living God. -- NWT -

I hear ya-
I was in line at Wally World (Wal-Mart) with my kids- the place was booming packed!
My kids notice that the couple in front of us are an elder and his wife from our hall. The elder I asked to pray for me as I was feeling weak. The elder who prsided over a bogus JC regarding me (it was thrown out). He makes eye contact with me and immediately looks away and deliberately pretends me and my kids are invisible. My kids say why is he ignoring us (it's painfully ackward and obious)! we're standing TIGHT THERE NEXT TO HIM. The cashier even had a funny lkook on her face, like what's going on? I was so pissed- I've done nothing NOTHING, this f*cker makes a PUBLIC display of his disdain for me and my kids- some "shepherd"! How do you explain this to your pre=teen and teen age kids? Talk about REPROACH- they make me hate the "God" and "Org." that they claim to represent!!!
I wish I would have said something for all to hear. This behaviour is deplorable. Do they think this will make me ever want to go back to that pile of vomit? Are they nuts? If that's not J's "direction" I don't know what is! Jehovah is obviously telling me to stay the hell away from these inbred morons (apologies to all inbreds who aren't morons). I don't judge them THEY JUDGE THEMSELVES as @$$holes!

They don't have that. :( So they aren't Christian. :(
