we and our unbaptised children have now been cut off by our last jw family members.
cowardly email at the bottom and my response just below.
sorry it's rambling and probably not the best thing to send, but we are upset and angry.
Don't give up hope when it comes to family.
We have been dealing with off and on shunning....seems to happen more often right after conventions :)
I've learned over the past few years they don't want to know anything that will damage their faith in their religion, and if we want to keep them I our lives it's best to just leave religion talk out completely. That's on both ends, they know not to bring up anything about JW's to me As well.
jw leaks has published the respondent's brief prepared by rick simons in the case: candace conti v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york & fremont congregation of jehovah's witnesses.
(90 pages).

Anything court related takes forever!! Add in the holidays in such...I wouldn't expect anything before Feb/March. I feel for Candace, I'm sure she must be ready to get this behind her.
we met up with cantleave and nugget yesterday.
our team thrashed cantleave at cards, we are the champions!!!
nugget cooked wonderful chicken jelfrazi and tandori, it was yum yum.. have you had any good xjw meetups from guys here on jwn?.
How fun! I haven't met up with any xjws as of yet. Hopefully that will change this new year.
interesting experience i had friday morning :.
here is illinois we had freezing rain, so while waiting for the train at 8:00 am people were slipping and sliding all over the place.
i was on the platform, 5 minutes before the train pulled in, quite a few people were also waiting.. a lady ( about 40 years old) was holding onto her mother, who looked to be in her mid 70's as they crossed the track platform.. suddenly the mother slipped and fell, i dropped my coffee and ran over to help her along with one other man.
That's pretty messed up!! Poor little boy is being taught to hate others for no reason other then they are not JWs.
started one thread serious, so thought i'd go light and easy on this one.
so what say yee to this?
here are mr. flippers, about in this order, but not necessarily.

due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?
remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.
what about the thousands that don't get caught?
My beautiful innocent 9 year old daughter. I have since learned of many more :(
i have a friend who works in a correctional facility for sex offenders.. there is a brother who is serving a sentence for having sexual relations with a number of under age girls.. due to the "the witness rule" this man has not been disfellowshipped.
his congregation are still supporting him and he receives visits from the prison assigned elder.. i cannot contain my anger.. this is surely breeding predators.. i have probably mentioned this on here before but i wanted to post in this area for emphasis.. .
Exactly jnat. My husband and I have thought about the fact that predators love to brag to other predators about how they get away with it! I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's some sicko guide for what religions are the easiest. I would put the JW's right at the top!
an elder in my congregation got on my nerves because he kept putting his arm around me and i'd asked him to stop.
a few weeks later he did the same thing again so i used my knee against his micro-penis.
a judicial committee was formed even though i was being sexually harrassed by this octapus of an elder.
I think in the title of the thread the writer did say he was disfellowshiped for kneeing and elder in the nads?

Love it.
just got word that my sister died.
she had surgery for heart valve replacement about 5 weeks ago, and when they opened her up for it they found cancer.
we had an extra special relationship since i was her "birthday present" when she turned 10 in 1951. this is my second sibling to die of cancer in 14 months..
It's so hard to lose a loved one, it's especially so when it so sudden :( I'm very sorry for your loss Poppers.
