  Yes! Two! They usually hide in my pocket. I know they should come out and greet the JWs more often!

  What is the official stance on shunning family that "faded"?

  by Wild_Thing in

  does anybody have any quotes from watchtower literature or video that shows what their stance is on associating with family who have left the witnesses?

  or even what the unofficial stance is?.

  not disfellowshipped or officially disassociated, just "inactive" for say 15-20 years, but also openly living a "worldly" life birthdays, holidays, including attending another church?

  So I just dug it out of the trash and looked. The Watchtower said "Vol.3 2016". I have no idea what this means since they don't put months not there anymore. Does anyone know how recent that is?

  I just can't believe that they can't even get rid of their Watchtowers even though they are now printed so infrequently ( and not twice a month, like the good ol' days) Wait ... wait ... yes I can.

  Differences Between Ex-JWs

  by David_Jay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are not all the same--a real "duh, david!

  so i figured if i didn't feel that sense of solidarity that seems missing among the debating, then i was part of the problem.

  i'm responsible for making this place feel like a support and place of solidarity, just as much as anyone else.. but approaches i tried didn't work until i shut up for a while.

  You made excellent points, David. The sad fact is that all of us were hurt and sometimes still hurting because of the Watchtower, but we all had different journeys getting there and getting out. Some of came out more unscathed than others, and there are a lot of factors that determine that, as you pointed out.

  Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences and information. That was what I was afraid of. The problem with finding Watchtower quotes about this or anything else is they don't want to admit it was even printed if it is more than two years old. Their beliefs, doctrines, and directives to their members seem to change on almost a yearly basis now. I feel like they need to publish a yearly bulletin on their changes in beliefs and practices. It is hard to keep up with when you are no longer one of them. I wonder if those on the inside find it hard to keep up, too.

  My mother claims that the Witnesses now see people that left the witnesses as "lost sheep" and they don't encourage shunning. My sister's behavior says otherwise. Trying to reconcile the this conflict in apparent "truth".

  Thanks for your help!
