How do you handle ... being shunned?
by Awakened at Gilead in
1. jw
2. experiences
my da announcement was last tuesday, so i have been on the official jw shun list for about a week now.... i am curious how you handle shunning.my situation:.

i have spoken with my family (my parents and 1 brother) and discussed whether they will shun me.

i explained that biblically they should not shun me since i am not an antichrist, and i have not rejected the teaching that jesus cam in the flesh.

Sir,

Me looks at ALL humans as though they were a cashier at a local retailer.

We need each other.

They have a job. They need their job. Me needs their employer product.

For the most part they are OK.

However, if for some reason they are not with it, for what ever the reason, me
let their ill slide.

Me will not add their ills to my life.

Me will try my best too leave them in a good frame of mind. (They are only one (1) minute out of twenty-four hours (24)
in a day of my life). Thus, when me walks out the door me is in peace with myself.

The same is true with members of the WBTS or any other institution.

So far, so far, they have a legal right to be what they want.

Just in the retail business, bad attitude in employees finds them looking for a
new job.

My personal opinion is that the bad policy of shunning by WTBS and other
institutions (which me never has approved) will catch up with them. They will be
looking for a new job.

But me will be at peace with myself.

Me will not add their ills to my life.

Me’s thinkin’ me’s talkin’ too much.

Thanks

AK-JEFF,

After reading all your post here on JWD over the years …… me knows that you have spunk.

However.

Please tell me. Are you the person taking the video?

If so, well … you have more testosterone going through your body then me.

Me, if it were a matter of life and death, would have to crawl on my hands and knees.

Call me chicken, but several years ago me was driving over that tall bridge over the Chesapeake Bay out of Baltimore.
Well, me made it just about to the top. The bridge moved, me looked down and me froze.

My sister had to drive me off the bridge.

Me is chicken.

Me had a hard time finishing the video, pause, pause, control oneself, pause, pause …. the end. Thank God.

This earth has many beautiful places to see.

And this is one of them.

Thanks for sharing.

Is the Watchtower really wrong according to your standards?

'we all have a priori knowledge, so we can't claim objective knowledge.

by the way, our senses only observe part of reality.

then, how do you dare asserting that you're right?

jgnat,

Allow me to add, for the three time,

Me agrees.

Thanks

early christians 144000

the bible says the 144000 would be the first fruits.

witnesses have interpetted that over .

and over as meaning that the first 144000 to accept christ would be his bride.

Just like to say,

Thanks Bluebrother, JWfacts, leftbelow, greendawn, and wha happened

for adding your view points.

From a historical and logical perspective but leaving out the self view point.

When someone puts in their own view point it is no better then those they
disagree with.

The WBTS does enough of this with out others helping.

Again thanks joelbear69 for bring up the subject.

Joelbear69,

Me rarely have much to say about matters.

However, on thing subject, 144,000, me has
been expressing your thoughts for many, many
many, years.

The figures do not add up.

In fact just two weeks ago me brought the
subject up again, (me often do, great point for
getting ones mind working, if one wants ones
mind to work) the person just look at me.

Not condemning or condoning, but were are
peoples minds.

Thanks for bring the subject up.

i have been lurking here for a couple of months.

i was born and raised as a witness, and am a little weirded out to even be posting on here (you know the paranoia).

anyway, i faded about 10 years ago, and after reading so many posts, i am so happy that it was a pretty uneventful experience.
