I've lurked a long time: JW's produce some of the most paranoid humans

by Unlearn in

i'll keep this brief for now.. long time lurker (4 years or so).. born-in, elder, used on district level (last talk i gave before i left was the baptisimal talk), and lots of hard time put in...before i finally made the move to split.

it's a long stoy, much like many of yours...but with it's own little interesting twists.

more details in the future, perhaps.. as i said, ive lurked here for a while.. its funny: for a long time i'd only come on late at night.

if jws claim to live by the bible then why do they not welcome back repentent ones straight away ?

is there anything in the bible about still ignoring people despite their "heartfelt " repentence and making them sit at the back of meetings etc.. feeling isolated and so sad , if its not in the bible to do this then why do they do it ?

its not what jesus would have done it is cruel , cult like and controlling !

Is a child up for adoption supposed to promise love & respect to the potential father?

by discreetslave in

tuesday, october 4. offer your very selves to him: a living sacrifice, dedicated and fit for his acceptance.rom.

12:1, the new english bible.. before someone who is alienated from god can become a member of gods family of approved servants, he first needs to make a solemn promise to jehovah.

to understand why, imagine a respectable father who shows kind interest in an orphaned youth and wishes to adopt him as a member of his own family.

weird cult propaganda !

Is Disfellowshipping a form of Bullying?

by Quarterback in

again, on anderson cooper's show today, he had a topic of bullying.

i thought that subjec related so closely to the disfellowshipping practice.

Shunning..... at Meetings ???

by IMHO in

can someone explain why jws shun disfellowshipped ones when they are at their meetings (i.e.

making moves to come back)?.

i can understand why you may not want to 'socialize' with ones who do not share your beliefs.. but surely shunning such ones at the 'meetings'; assuming they are not there to cause trouble, is unloving; should they not be welcomed like the prodigal son.. true christians are known by the 'love' they show.

looloo

my hubby when "going back " as a disfellowshipped person was told to come in during the song and leave right away after the meeting , he was also told not to associate with another disfellowshipped lad who also attended , one day he came in and wanted to sit at the back and a woman refused to move for him to do so despite being asked by the brother stood at the back counting ! what a cow , my hubby gave up and didnt go again !
