  My husband's first exposure to being shunned by family ......

  by troubled mind in

  2. experiences

  friday we were in the grocery store shopping .both of us were in a very good mood because our son was coming home for a visit ,and we were planning on some fun activities .

  then around the end of the aisle comes by husbands sister in law ( she is married to his step brother that is an elder) we nearly bump into her literally we are that close ...so i say ," oh hi ***** !

  " she would not even look at us and the expression on her face gave me chills ..pure contempt .

  I'm sorry you are having deal with the shunning I guess now your husband will know exactly what you mean when you mention how the JW's treat you.

  It's no fun!! But really the ones that looks horrible are the ones shunning.

  Children mean absolutely nothing to this ORG!! Makes me so angry especially because they are truly the ones that stand up everyday at school to ridicule because of this religion.

  It saddens me to see when these children need them to stand up for them and for what is right and just they do nothing and instead help those who hurt them

  What made you start questioning: people or doctrine?

  by In in

  2. bible

  let us know what got you questioning wbts in the first place.

  i've got a theory that it starts with people hurting us and only then does the "apostate" turn to looking at the beliefs.. anybody who started questioning beliefs first?.

  For me it was people (elders) Then doctrine.

  Lack of love in a Org that claims it's by their love they are recognized lead to a lot of questioning of other things.

  The letter re: coil binding the elder book

  by booby in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think if an (intelligent) questioning jw was able to read the letter about coil binding the book the impact could/should be greater.

  this letter should be an embarrassment to the gb.

  what blatant and stupid instructions sent to a large group of men who are supposed to be available to instruct in an intelligent way persons coming with an assortment of life's problems.

  It's always a new game tomorrow

  My husband is stressed out.. because he says when the Giants score high in one game they struggle for the rest. It should be interesting.

  GrandmaJones,

  I can't speak for the parents of breakfree but I can speak for myself, as parents we really think we are doing the right thing! I know it seems stupid for many to think of putting their child through such an ordeal. I agree! However when we did so, we had no idea what we were in for I truly thought those men would help us at the worst time of our lives. I believed they were our hiding place from the wind and I was wrong. I deeply regret letting them question my child, but I know why we allowed it just as others have..we were taught they would help and we were desperate for help.

  Once you know better...you do better
