seems there was a couple of posts since last summer's conventions re/shunning inactive and, of course, DF'd ones. out of the clear blue someone's father/mother stopped contact. i was shunned personally (i left about 1997 and never was that active) since last summer at the mall and walmart by a pioneer/hardliner --- the other one was a salesclerk (at 5-star dept. store and she'd been transferred to a new dept. where i already have a clerk) who shunned me a couple of times w/out my paying any attention. i had mentioned to her the last time we spoke about the ole goats in brooklyn killing people with their stupid blood policy when she was croaking on & on about just trusting in Jehovah. i told her i do trust God but not the crooks in brooklyn and maybe that's the reason she shunned me. i couldn't care less whether they shun me or not because i'd rather give my money (sales commissions) to decent people. funny thing 2nd time i ran into the pioneer/hardliner she ran up to me and was syrupy and i was shocked. had to remember to show love to these brainwashed fools and act like a christian.
i've relayed this info to many christians of different faiths and levels of status --- people CANNOT BELIEVE a religion really tells their adherents to act like this. so UNCHRIST LIKE -- DUH!!! i hope the losers in brooklyn keep it up. i couldn't believe it back in the late 80's when i'd hear family members were cut off --- and i should have paid attention. what a loser-business the watchtower is. the worse they act the more i tell everyone and spread the truth about them.
