  Absolutely...it's sad that they can't see that they are not Jesus-imitators at all, but completly like those Pharisees.

  My non-JW mother (who still knows how they work because my dad is one) finds that for them to call themselves "slaves" is very wrong, we all know the R&F are the real slaves.

  I remember being on a site like that when I was a JW. The only guy I met that was in my vicinity turned out to be a short 30 years old loser virgin with a superiority complex, dislike for animals and a racism problem. That's when I realised that people in the borg were defenitly not all that good.

  Hmm...I think I'll try to find my old profile, might have a big laugh at myself!

  some of you might remember my situation....i have daed myself a while ago, and my father is the only jw in the family.

  since i am very close to him and the family, he has read everything related to shunning, he even asked elders and even them are not sure.

  so he wrote a big long letter to bethel to have an answer.

  Hmmm...yes, that's what I'm scared of...If they did find it out, then I'd be in much more trouble then I already am with him. I don't think he even knows I read it...

  They did use the word "draconien"..but you're right, they might have meant strict...

  Original French word---"Draconien" -"d'une rigueur excessive" (excessive harshness/severity/rigidness/sternness)

  Yes, I think that's a correct choice of word when it comes to the WTS.

  I looked some of their references up...and the "excellent results" are ones along the lines of an elderly woman who has left "the truth" and finally came back some time later because her two JW adult children phoned her to inform her that they would have to shun her because they loved her and would wait for her to come back.
