  HELP NEEDED: In publications, reference to suffering due to DF/DS

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hello everyone.. i need your help again.. please point me to instances in the publications of the watchtower (video links also valuable) where there is evidence of the watchtower's awareness that shunning inflicts suffering / damage to the excommunicated and to family members, friends, fellow witnesses, friends .... .... or that shunning is designed to cause distress and suffering to the excommunicated (with the purpose to hammer him/her back into submission).. .... or that shunning treatment is objectively and purposely a differentiated treatment vis a vis to what treatment is given to unbelievers in general.. i need to be able to locate those publications in the wol, and then find the portuguese version of it, to then print.. thank you in advance for your help.

  Article "How to treat a disfellowshipped person" on JW.Org

  "Third, our firm stand for Bible principles may even benefit the disfellowshipped one. By supporting the decision of the judicial committee, we may touch the heart of a wrongdoer who thus far has failed to respond to the efforts of the elders to assist him. Losing precious fellowship with loved ones may help him to come “to his senses,” see the seriousness of his wrong, and take steps to return to Jehovah.​—Luke 15:17.

  Also, Eden, unrelated but good for your research, there is an excellent medical/academic article on forced coercion to refuse blood by dissident JWs. I have the PDF. I can send it to you if u let me know your email

  The truth is I always loved anything about Jesus.

  I didn't like Jehovah very much but I could never admit that. Later on I studied the big red you can live forever in paradise on earth, the Youth book and of course my book of Bible stories which I still have. But my favourite was listening to the Great teacher.

  Serious Question: Are You Hearing About Anyone With The Flu Anymore or A Cold?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years everyone was told they had to get the flu shot.

  because the flu was dangerous and it could even kill you.

  now, hardly anyone talks about the flu or having a cold.

  TDLet's not put people into boxes.

  I'm an old school conservative who has made a hobby out of the history and interpretation of the Second Amendment

  I've also worked in a supervisory position at a med-lab and am appalled by some of the things that get said on this forum.

  I've always thought you were probably one of the smartest people on this forum.

  You've just confirmed my viewpoint.👏👏👏

  Vienne how about a photo of "Hears" wearing a Rolex.

  Type in Sam Heards Rolex. I've seen him wear it quite often. Could be a family heirloom, of course. And Heard gets an army pension, too, so there's that.

  My Grandmother was a devout JW and back in the 90s early when they built Hotels near Patterson, she mumbled they had gotten their last dime from her. Her and my GF had special Pioneered and picked up bottles for return in the 60s so they could pay rent and buy food as the stipend was not even close to enough to support them in the cult work.

  Mickbobcat the worst thing is many of those hotel rooms were kept empty. One weekend when New York had severe weather they closed the airport. All the reasonably priced hotels were booked up. A pioneer & her friend who had come to tour Bethel were stuck with no where to stay as their flight home had been cancelled.

  She rang Bethel in hopes of finding a bed for the night. Would you believe they told these very young girls, stranded in a strange city, that because they were only "regular" pioneers they could not offer them a bed for the night. Had they been "special" pioneers they could have helped them out!!

  And they say that all Jehovah's Witnesses are equal and that they have no special titles!!

  Your'll be glad to know that young pioneer is NO LONGER one of Jehovah's witnesses. Wonder why🙄

  Listening to the great teacher.

  I loved it very much. I loved to study and when the other kids would run off to play I would stay at the dining room table to read on my own.😥I miss those days.
