  Simon: What happens when you can no longer support this site?

  hey simon, .

  the recent closure of jwr made me realize that this site may not be eternal as well.

  a great deal of people attach a lot of importance to xjw communities and yours is the best.

  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?

  Blondie, do you know of anything that they have published in print that says anything to that effect? That is exactly how it is, but I am in desperate need of hard core proof. I can share more later, but not right now.

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

  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.
