  I just want to say Happy Holidays. You've outdone yourself with all the shunning articles this year. My family has benefited greatly from them. My MIL listened to your advice and shunned her loyal daughter. My wife found this site in May and is now after 47 years is totally free of the WTS mental stranglehold.

  You still have my MIL, but when I showed her the interpretations in the Finished Mystery, Rutherford's letter to Hitler and asked her to show me when where how and why did the FDS turn their power over to the Governing Body. she snickered, then she chuckled, then told me that I shouldn't pay any attention to the WTS literature, just the bible.

  Wishing you and yours all the best during this years truly magical holiday season.

  A reminder on Shunning family members again in the January 15th Watchtower!

  by Gill in

  january 15th watchtower 2007 'remaining steadfast when a child rebels'.

  'when discipline is severe'.

  'if your child is unrepentant and is a baptized christian, he may receive the strongest form of discipline - being disfellowhipped from the congregation.

  'Remaining Steadfast When a Child REbels'

  In reality, at one time or another all normal children rebel, experiment, test the waters,....don't they?

  You can draw his attnetion to various scriptures and to the publications provided by the 'faithful and discreet slave.' WTS

  or you could just be a normal parent, see it for what it is, and use common sense in dealing with your child, instead of further alienating them.

  a christian parent would strive to avoild needless associati on.

  Unless you need moral or financial support from the people you are shunning, then it is OK under the grounds of calling it business related

  Siding with your rebellious child would not be providing any real protection from the Devil. hysterical thinking created by the WTS.

  Being a responsible parent would. Not raising your child in a cult and putting pressure on them to get baptized at a ridiculously early age just to appease you, helps as well.

  I LOVED the drive-ins!

  Last movie I saw at a drive-in....Planet of the Apes

  How about roller skating parties .....where you actually got to hold her hand ?

  How about air raid drills in school when everyone went out into the hallway and you got on your knees and held your hands over your head....kind of the same way the muslims pray to allah, only no rockin' back and forth.

  I brought it to one members attention that it is a hateful word and shouldn't be used and I only received a hateful retort and defensiveness. People can get that way when they are called on their bad behavior.

  You know Iforget, if this person despite that reaction to your plea, refrained from ever using that term again, then you ultimately succeeded in your goal.

  Thanks all now I'm leaving

  by wozadummy in

  due to funkyderek i have come to the decision to leave this board.

  when i posted on the current gay thread in a way that i thought would stimulate thinking and lighten up the seriosness of the thread and have a laugh, he and others put me down publically labelling me.

  so i find it difficult now to continue posting knowing that someone has influenced others into thinking that i'm not worthy of being here because my phrasing and spelling is bad and that i'm apparently a "hyporite".

  Your last line says it all...its like leaving friends. Friends understand, and friends argue and friends make up.. Then they argue again. That's part of what makes them friends.

  If we were in Bible times, I would be stoned...(by my family)

  by megsmomma in

  i was just researching some things and saw an article scan from 4-15-88 watchtower.

  it talks of an unrepentant "wrongdoes", like a son who was a drunkard and glutton, and if he was unrepentant when brought before the judges, his parents would have a part in executing him.

  my mom had said to me last time she was here..."it's a good thing we are not in bible times, you would be stoned!

  Natural affection.....my boys feel much closer to the nonJW side of the family who live 1200 miles away, than their JW grandmother who lives down the street.

  Now that's natural affection for you. It must have been helped along by all those Xmas's we spent up in Chicago.

  megsmomma...the other thing about that bothers me about that reasoning....I have two sons....I would die myself, before stoning them....I don't care what it would cost me....Abraham, Isaac yada yada I know....I still would not sacrifice my child for my own benefit.
