  my disfellowshipping

  as with anyone associated with jehovahs witnesses the worst possible news anyone can have is being df.

  it means a loss of everyone and everything you have known all your life.

  How Many Here Have Been Shunned?

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as most of you already know, the jehovah's witnesses are covering an article in their august kingdom ministry to be discussed the weeks of 8/19 and 8/26 which details how they are to shun and avoid those who are no longer members of their organization, even immediate family members.. .

  undoubtedly this article has been written to reinforce to the rank&file jehovah's witnesses the shunning policy, so as to tighten the ranks and prevent members from having the opportunity to learn the abundant contradictions and hypocrisies found within watchtower doctrine and practice from any who may have left.. this policy also serves to divide families and attempt to shame or abuse those whom have chosen to no longer be jehovah's witnesses, for whatever reason.. that much is obvious.

  in recent days this topic has been discussed in detail in various threads.

  when i first came here i was happy to find a place where i could laugh, get pissed off or just speak my mind on a subject.the people i have met here are some of the most,kind,careing,informative,helpfull souls.

  i couldn`t have asked for a better group to be involved with.i do not always agree with my board mates.even with the ones who piss me off,there is still a comradeship(yk comes to mind,lol).finding this board has taught me one important thing.we are not alone,we have each other...outlaw

  DID YOU EVER RAT ON SOMEBODY???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the congregation was always being told to root out any person who was engaged in wrongdoing.

  if it was a best friend or even a family member, you were to inform the elders so that they could look into the matter and investigate any possible sin.

  the elders pretty much told the brothers that those knowing of a sin and not reporting it were as guilty as the person that actually sinned!

  no blood cards this year!

  by DIM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night at meeting they told us to just use our blood cards from last year.

  in the past they've always told us how important it was to get it signed every year so that people could see our current views as jw's.....doesn't this new arangement negate everything they've ever said in regards to this?

  absolutely nuts!.

  They shun you--Do you love them?

  by ashitaka in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for all who have, are, or will be shunned (which should pretty much be all of us), do you still have a deep love for those who now shun you...now, not familial love, but an active love that yearns for that person's companionship?.

  i have several regrets; one of them is the friends that i've lost.

  how about you guys?.
