PDF of Oct 1, 1993 WT. Pg 19
by lostsheep82 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
can anyone please maybe find a scan of this article?

the first sentence reads:"disfellowshipping can be extremely punitive.".

it is an article that supposedly reads that the punishment to a df'd person goes so far as to 'include hatred' of such persons-not just their behavior.

Sciptures? Help???
by lostsheep82 in
1. jw
2. friends
i know this subject is touchy, and i dont want to stir feathers.....but with my most recent convo with my mom and her "anointed" husband, they dont have as much of a problem with me discrediting the society as i do, as they do with the fact that i'm gay.

as he puts it....ignore the society and what they teach....go to the bible...so i asked him what about david and jonathans relationship, how can you prove they didnt have a sexual love for eachother and he says...'amanda, do you think they were bum holing eachother?'.

well when you put it that way i dont know, but that has nothing to do with the fact that most gay relationships have nothing to do with the actual act of sex, they have to do with the love two people share, cause they can't share it with someone else.. his response was simpathetic, and cause of my abusive past, that is what they blame it on........if i wasnt abused i wouldnt be gay.

1. jw
2. experiences
so now that i've read as much as i could in the last 2 months and made my decision that this isn't the organization i thought it was, i'm scared, terrified, and feel helpless in some ways.

my mom is a devout jw, a pioneer, her husband of the 'anointed', and they are very 'spiritually strong'.

i'm wanting to compile a mini book to send to her with all the reasons and proof from wt books and magazines with quotes and stuff.
