Absolutely spot on response.
”Having no natural affection” comes to mind when witnesses shun family.
Well played Gemmel.
i resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.
one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.
i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.
Absolutely spot on response.

Well played Gemmel.
just had to share this, tonight we had a heated conversation about the religion.
she said everything they teach is 100% true and any mistakes are cleaned up and corrected, that the payouts for the child abuse is not an issue even if its taken from donations.
because, she believe 100% the org knows what its doing.
Your marriage won’t last long. It’s impossible to live with someone who outsources their critical thinking abilities to a religion. Furthermore, her putting everything (including you & any kids) in second place behind Watchtower will kill off your relationship.
i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.
1998 > cong of 90
2018 > cong of 30
The internet and the difficulty Watchtower now have of hiding the truth is biting them on their asses.
i just heard that wimbledon kingdom hall is being or about to be sold.
it is 60 years old and worth half a million pounds.. has anyone heard anything more about this?.
truthseeker.
Do you get the wombles with it?
what i don’t get, is the agression seen in the latest, september broadcasting.. if something is not usefull here at g.’s home, we look if it can be used for an other purpose or store it or put it away in a trash bin.
that’s what we learn our children.. it seems that for jw.org officials it is practice to get very angry and smash items on the floor.
somehow the real face of brotherhood is showed here.
so this morning i'm walking to my office and there's the jws on their carts outside as usual.
and old sister, a brother in his 20s and an elder i instantly recognized from my jw days.
one of my best friends of about 20 years.. i genuinely just wanted to say hi as i havent seen him in 3 years.
He sounds like a robotic cunt.
the following is the talk of the assembly followed by my 15 minutes commentary.i have included part of my notes below which i used for the commentary .
what is the hailstone message?.
is it literal or symbolic?.
I’ll be glad when/if they do this. It’ll make them look even more ridiculous and laughable.
did you see the performance of stephen lett on august broadcasting?.
the illustration of painting the kingdom hall?.
used for explaining that you have to listen to elders even when they are totaly wrong?.
Any person who would use a 2 inch paintbrush to paint a building just because someone says so is a stupid cunt and deserves everything that comes with their stupidity.
sunday my old bethel roommate came up to visit me.
he left a couple years ago and he wanted to catch up and reminisce.. while we sat back remembering crazy things we saw take place at bethel he reminded me of a creepy instance with bro.
swingell.. it was a saturday morning and we decided to actually go get breakfast.
It’s all very well debating about whether he had dementia or not but have you seen this latest crowd of GB members?
A bunch of utterly crazy old bastards. Like, really, sinister, crazy.
i posted here weekly until a year ago when my mum died of a mild form of lukemia which is easy to treat with 2 blood tranfusions a month.
you can live to 100 with treatment, but no my mum chose to die a faithful witness after 2 years of chemo and hell for her family and doctors.
her chemo doctor cried when she only had weeks left to live knowing that she could be saved with one bag of blood!
This’ll not mean much from a stranger but I’m genuinely sorry for your needless loss.
Theres never really a day goes by where I don’t hear of something that’s JW related which causes needless pain. Yes, needless. So many issues from small to big.
Wishing you well.
