JW's exercise their freedom, but they forget the cost of freedom!

Who shuns you?
by Dawn inafter reading a number of posts it sounds like most of you have been shunned even by your immediate family members (parents, brothers, sisters)after you were df'd.. i am shunned by my sister-in-law - but she's it out of the entire family.
my uncle, brothers, mother, and father (an elder before he passed away) all continued to associate with me - we even go out to dinners together.. so here's my question - is my family the minority?
i thought that only non-family members had to shun you but family was ok as long as they don't discuss spiritual issues.

I'm amazed at what the JW's do to their families. Fortunately I saw the light when I was studying and stopped cold. It seems like the JW's are like a fraternity. If you don't pay your monthly dues, you can't come to the parties. My wife was shunned by her friends when she got engaged to me. In fact, the elders at my families tried to get my family not to come to my wedding (they didn't succeed). It was the Colima Congregation, Whittier California. So far I've got even with a couple of them including the PO James Villanueva who was DF'd for committing adultery. I hacked his email system and found out about his little side action (Monica Wilson) then emailed it to people in that congregation.

The P.O. at the Colima cong, Whittier CA USA was found to have been having an affair with a MS's wife. The only way they found out? I hacked his email and found the proof and sent it along to the "right" people. "right" meaning not the "wise men" of the bunch. They all knew what was going on but they covered it up because it was their grand wizard. Not until I slapped all of them with the "truth" did they take action.
Religion doesn't hurt people, religious fanatics do!

A letter I received from a JW
by Novus inthis is a letter i received from a jw, sent anonymously.
it was hand-written in red ink, and i have little doubt that had the composer a supply of blood handy, he or she would have written using that.. this was received in response to a very compassionate letter my wife and i sent to our former friends and family, telling them of our reasons for leaving the organization.. the attitude expressed here is typical of the treatment we have received since leaving the wtbts.
(i am roundly blamed for my wife leaving the org, since she was considered to be "strong in the truth", whereas i was always a nominal witness at best.).

WELL WORTH READING: JW's + 144,000
by stevieb1 infound this material on an yahoo egroups site on greek theology on which quite a number of witness apologists contribute.
there is quite a bit of interesting stuff on here, but here is a worthwhile comment made on the 144,000 as they relate to the "fds class" and jw's since 1879. establishes from purely mathematical point of view that the 144,000 cannot be a literal but figurative.

I'm sorry if I'm not up to speed with the way JW's think, but can someone explain why Jesus needs anyone else to help him govern?

Ridiculous trips to the 'back room'
by Esmeralda inthe posts in the elders meeting thread got me thinking about this, so i've spun it off for into another thread.. were you ever 'counseled' because "some" in the congregation were disturbed by things you said/did/listened to/watched?.
here is just some of the stupid stuff that the elders brought me in on.
though they were usually handled through shepherding calls, not in the back room at the kh.. 1: because i decided to change my first and middle names.

Not ever being a JW but knowing about their practices, I always found it fascinating how "God" was using these "elders" (what is an elder in definition by the way) to pass out judgements. My fiance at the time got marked while my friends sister-in-law committed adultery and only got publicly reproved. What gives?
