very stereotype, the native inspired clothing, the canoes, etc. personally i kinda like that kind of stuff, but i can see it being offensive and/or rediculous to natives.

Do active JW's on this forum still practice shunning?
by Thechickennest injust wondering if active jw's on this forum or jw's just watching this board still put into practice in one way or another, shunning?.
what is the motivation do so?
is it to save face or relationships?

joebin, why the hate? and disbelief? i'm a regular, and in my cong there's one df'd that comes regularly, and i don't talk to him because 1. i don't know him (he was out before i came in that hall) 2. he knows how he's supposed to act especially if he wants to be re-instated which i'm guessing he wants since he's almost always there, and 3. in that setting it would cause a big stir with many consequences.
on the other hand, i've searched and added some df'd friends from back in the day on facebook, but i mean it depends on them alot too, alot of time they know the reality and rather just stay out of it, other times they're respectful on keeping it on the down low, it's different for each person.

The ''truth'' that lead me to question the WTS.
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe truth that leads to eternal life says on page 13:.
we need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization with whichwe may be associated.
are its teachings in full harmony with god's word, or are they based on the traditions of men?

lots.. lots.. the dress code one of them. no beards, heck jesus and all the men back then had beards. no goatie. not even a little thingamajig (forget what they're called) under the lip. no piercings. all because it's "the image of this world", but yo if someone has a neatly kept beard for instance, i'm not gonna think he's a murdering motorcylce gang person. geez

Pantyhose
by Princess Daisy Boo insomething that has facinated me since i started reading and posting on this board was the whole "women must always wear pantyhose" idea... .
the thought sometimes crosses my mind as to whether or not there were any differences in the borg from country to country - but the only issue i have come across is the pantyhose one.
in south africa, to the best of my knowledge, while i was "in", this was not a requirement - we only wore stockings if the weather required it.

canada - no pantyhose rule.
for the brothers, suit jacket at book study depends on the particular BS group. at some it's no reading or prayer if you don't.

I bet you do not remember this picture, or do you?
by vivalavida indoes it ring a bell?.
it was taken by me from the stern magazine from germany issued on august 13th, 1961..... clue: i guess 47 years later she wouldn't attract any angels, would she?.
vivalavida.

i wonder if she ever saw herself in the book by coincidence? that would be freaky for her
It's funny that people keep tripping over that picture and making the connection.
Hortensia, i guess everyone's just busy reading 1961 stern's all the time. its the thing to do

although still "active", i now no longer believe in shunning because i've come to see df'ds as mostly good people that simply had different opinions then are set out by the WTS, or their own way of seeing things which to me is perfectly normal.
this being said, i have little or no contact with df'ds (other then on this board) now because most of the ones i know have been out so long that i just don't have any contact with them anymore anyways. i also found that if you do happen to come across one, they're pretty much just as awkward about it because they've been on the other side and know what it's (supposed to be) like. in the case however that one is willing to talk and all, i have no problem with that, i'll be equally open and receptive.

there's quite some changes, most are updated figures from 2006, other's are more interesting changes.
