  @MNIONC - When you say 'family'... Are you referring to your wife and child or are you referring to extended family and lifelong friends.

  It is not clear from your comments which relationship(s) you are trying to hold on to.

  Help needed: Written material regarding shunning of DF'd and DA'd individuals

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like this to become a permanent thread, because i think there are grounds - at least in europe - to take this matter up to the european court of human rights.

  not sure we'll ever get there, but one must start somewhere.

  objective: force, by legal means, the watchtower society and the jehovah's witnesses to stop the practice of shunning ex-jehovah's witnesses, on grounds that it constitutes a violation of human rights.. what is needed: all written material ever published by the watchtower society, especially since 1940's, concerning the practice of shunning.

  This is not my story, but one told by a poster here on JWN:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/100211/shunned-again-you-wont-guess-where-ever

  [Shunned at a psychologist's office as they brought their daughter there to deal with shunning...!]

  @Rubadub - I don't understand why you think you are out of luck. Check your listings for 1235p and an hour earlier. You should see Dateline on the AND lineup. It's a nationwide program that has been around for decades.

  @violas - The numeric time designation remains the same but we are *not* in 'Standard' time. We are in Daylight Time. EDT, CDT, PDT.

  Here is a site that explains the difference. (note, however, that it was written in 2011.)

  I think the US just left 'Standard' Time and are now in Daylight Saving Time.

  That would mean that EST (Eastern 'Standard' Time) is non-relevant. Instead, the designator EDT would be used. Or PDT, depending on where in the US you reside.
  

  Yes?

  i'm not surprised but i must admit to a little eye roll.... looking at some photos on my brother's facebook page, i stumbled on a picture of our mother.

  it took a few cycles thru the photos before i realized that mom has a jw pin on her top.. not surprising, but wanted to share.. we have not spoken in a long time.

  for a while she was calling me every couple of weeks from her cell phone in the morning.

  We have not spoken in a long time. For a while she was calling me every couple of weeks from her cell phone in the morning. One day I told her that if the only reason she was calling was to get her time started, please don't call. It's been 9 years. (Where's the eye-rolling emoticon??)

  PS: Does the photo show? First time I've tried it since the site changed format.

  Sorry to hear about this turn of events.

  Trust your gut. You knew there could be danger ahead. I think a few dozen of us who have 'been there' validated what you were already feeling.

  She will very likely return to the JWs after she has a baby. Very many do.

  Sorry.
