Parents who shun their own children because of JW beliefs are seriously troubled. Just like the whole organization is troubled. They don?t see the backlash that outsiders see when they here of such bizarre behaviors. Who would want to become part of a hate group that turns on family at the instruction that it?s a loving thing to do? [Example: (Q) How?s your mother / father I hope they are well? (A) I don?t know their Jehovah?s Witnesses and won?t talk to me because I don?t believe as they do.] JW?s think this stance will encourage the errant one to return as well as increase their ranks and spread love to all. How ironic or should that be idiotic?

Santa Clause and lying....
by Oxnard Hamster inone reason the jws don't celebrate christmas, besides the fact it's supposedly an insult to god, is that they purport that it's wrong to "lie" to children by telling them santa claus exists.
i really didn't give the issue much thought until recently.
the jw i used to study with called me and asked how i was doing, and we eventually got on the subject of christmas, and he brought up that it's wrong because parents lie to children by saying santa claus is real.

I guess the question is: Is it okay to lie if it brings joy to a person?
The GB do all the time, and for many years people follow their lead and let their children and themselves die needlessly . Joy, Joy,Joy.

Are You Able To Critically Express Yourself Here?
by minimus ini think some might get the impression that it's not right to express anything critical of this board.
some may feel that if a poster wants to express an opinion that is not in syc with the majority, they should not speak of it.if someone feels they have a valid criticism, i do think it is "healthy" to be able to express that opinion.
i am not referring to persons that seem to always complain about everything but i'm thinking of our not stifling a person.

minimus,
It depends what you are criticizing

Perhaps there is a correlation with this scenario. We were taught as JW's that we had the 'truth' that nobody else did and everybody else had inferior viewpoints to our own. This form of self-hypnosis filled us a sort of stunning arrogance that allowed the uneducated to feel that they had not just the ability but the right to patronize the educated with pseudo science and illogical theology. None of us, however we might like to feel about it, were immune from this conditioning.
I used to be ashamed of this attitude. An elder could be functionally illiterate and have a superior air about himself if invited by a university as a guest speaker on JW beliefs. Little did he know he was there as a dog and pony show.

minimus,
....Who knows if some questionable ones are trying to extract information from us by emails or pms? Who knows what the Watchtower Society or some renegade elder has up their sleeve?
How true! Those filthy bastards would do that. A good point to remember is, evenlually you wont care about anything those little worm people have to think or say.
