father, please... forgive me.... dearest jw.com posters... may you all have peace!.
i wish to share something with you that i had no idea of until just a few minutes ago.
after listening to my lord direct me to go back and read and read and read, i must say, dear ones, that i knew robert and janet (jannie) bryant from shingle springs, ca, personally.

i really hate funerals and memorials and avoid them as much as i can.
looking back on the few i have attended over the past ten years i guess i only go to them because of the people who are left behind.
since i didn't know the bryant's or any of their family members i find the draw that i have to this service even more confusing.
Take my love with you. This is at least the second memorial like this that I know of, and I know others are being held in other places for them.
At least the word is going to get out that, more and more, there are places for a Jehovah's Witness in terrible trouble to go.
i just read the story about the family in oregon, gone forever, because of the pressure of shunning.. in my opinion, shunning is the big story about jehovah's witnesses.
shunning and the fear of shunning is what enables the control of victims of child abuse.
shunning is what destroys families.
"I don't believe all the stories of Rutherford's drinking" IS ANOTHER WAY OF CALLING US ALL LIARS AS IT IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC AND LEGAL RECORD.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN HOW THE SUNIING IS GOING TO HELP RAPE AND MOLESTATION SURVIVORS 'TURN AROUND IN THEIR SINFUL COURSE?
the Freeman and the Slack and the Longo and the Bryant children won't be contaminating their congregations anymore either.
Just face it...with your attitude, the Jehovah's Witnesses are the only religion that would HAVE you...
num 5:20 if you, however, have gone astray, being under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you" .
num 5:21 then the priest shall have the woman swear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman ), "the lord make you a curse and an oath among your people by the lord's making your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell; .
num 5:24 'then he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse, so that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness.
It has become evident that the Watchtower is abandoning the Jehovah of Jesus Christ in favor of the God of the Old Testament. Vindictive, jealous, angry....which is okay for the times, but Jesus came and instituted change.
The Watchtower isn't ready to change. As the best and the brightest depart for greener (and healthier) pastures, the Watchtower finds itself having to appease these remaining members. It would seem to me that the God of the Old Testament is much more palatable to third world countires---places like the African and South Central countries--as this is more what they are used to in these war-torn places.
Ho Hum, just another day in the 'loving' org....

I am very very concerned, Nathan, with what I see as very inaccurate reporting of the expulsion/shunning doctrine. I don't know quite what to do about it.
If the press is AFRAID of the Watchtower and won't report the truth about this issue, what remedy is there? The Watchtower is a huge corporation and a force to be reckoned with I guess. I'm hearing horror stories of the full contents of interviews not being made public; only the mildest and least controversial issues being let out.
Let this be a lesson for you France, Bulgaria and Russia....

>Witnesses point to lives transformed by shunning. People kick drugs, stop gambling, mend marriages. But critics attack the practice as cruel and destructive. <
Yes, I guess the Bryant and the Long children won't be doing any of these things for sure.....
RUN WATCHTOWER RUN............
there are 3 wbts website links on the actual page.
go there and click all 3 to let the assholes know that this article is being read!.
jehovah's witnesses use shunning.
Lying sacks o' useless sh**...just figure these nubers with me.
If several hundred rape and molestation survivors (that we KNOW of) are expelled/shunned over a several-year period, then that is a minimum of TWO PER MONTH....
And that doesn't even come close to the numbers of those expelled/shunned becasue they suffer the effects/symptoms of mental illness.
WATCHTOWER YOU WILL PAY..............

russell, joe booze rutherford, nathan knorr and freddie franz all had a certain amount of vision.
To follow up JT's thought...
To follow the Watchtower is to follow men. Th eWatchtower holds these men out to be three steps from God and climbing. Historical evidence says this is not true.
To follow the Watchtower is to follow men. A JW should get to know these men at least as well as non-JW's..
YOU HEAR THAT 'HAPPY MAN'???? YOO HOO.....
