Shunning is so against our nature. Shows how brainwashed most of jw's are.
REALLY, HAVE YOU READ SOME OF THE SHUNNING ON THESE THREADS?
i have now spoken with a couple of worldly people regarding the practise of disfellowshipping.
having been out of the org for a few months i now feel confident enough to expose the things that i knew were wrong.
d/f was one of the biggest issues i had.

Also too, you suggest that we lack love for all humans....why do you suggest this? In my view the people on this board have an increased sense of humanity contrasted from that found in the WTS!
Why do you suggest any different?
TRY READING SOME OF THE REPLYS TO OTHER TOPICS OTHER THAN MINE> SAME OLE RHETORIC OF HATE WORDS IN REFERENCE TO JW"S.
forgive me if i sound rude or this question has been answered elsewhere, as i am a neophyte and discovered your site through google in my religious studies.
from reading the various posts it seems that this site serves nothing more than an iconoclastic purpose.
was your experience as jw's so traumatic that now you can but put forth such effort to daemonize the religion?

Was your experience as JW's so traumatic that now you can but put forth such effort to daemonize the religion? Why not live and let live? Do not get me wrong. I am not trying to promote the JW's. It just seems that the lot of you are acting like petulant children. Correct me, please, if I'm wrong. Is their any valid reason for the existance of this site?
I soooo agree with you.
Now, is this saying hate the dead or hate the person?
This is David speaking to god on how he is feeling and asking God to help him to not feel that way.
jw,.
i realize it is impossible to expect that no one will post to this thread, and most threads don't survive more than a page or two before becoming sidetracked, but perhaps you and i can discuss whatever is on your mind in an "intelligent" manner in this thread.
maybe we could begin by requesting that this area be fairly undisturbed and at least that any additional posts to this thread outside of our discussion be of a statement nature and not distracting from the point by asking side-questions or hurling ad hominem.. first though, i would like some sense of what you consider to be an intelligent way to discuss issues.. can we agree to try and avoid logical fallacies and argue only points we each feel competent to address independently?
Can you please explain where your beliefs differ from those published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, ?
Some of my beliefs may be the same if it is in the bible.
and what Scriptures led to your changed understanding?

Where do you see that we hate of all dubs?
Where have I seen that you don't hate all ( dubs)!
w92 7/15 p. 12 Christ Hated Lawlessness—Do You? ***
God wrote hate the deed not the person!
To hellrider
16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.
If you have a need to hate the WTS then so be it.
But don't hate all JW's, that is just wrong .
You preach that you have found truth, if that were the case then where is your love for all humans?
