i talked to zachary (my 7-year-old) about shunning.
i brought it up out of the blue, in the hopes of getting his real thoughts and not leading him into anything.. me: "hey zach.
if god told you to never talk to me again, what would you do?".
My two children's response regarding whether they'd join any religious group that would order them to not speak to me:
Older teen: "I wouldn't join. If they tell me not to talk to you, I'd say they are full of Sh*t."
Elementary school child: (Regarding the same thing) "That's a weird religion."
.
this looks kind of dated but it's really good..
Excellent video. How can I get one on VHS or DVD? This should be available in every public library. Very educational. Thanks for posting this.

hopefully someone has some information on this.
i think it is an important question because from recent observation on another jw website, it has come up that some jw bethelites are suing the wts in workers comp cases after getting injured while at bethel.
this is big news to me since i have a similar case outstanding right now.
First of all, according to every cult expert, exit counselor or any professional who regularly deals with destructive mind control cults: Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult. It's a universally accepted fact by everyone except for the members of the cult itself.

in the 2nd study article, page 29, paragraph 17.
"a similar shocking end will come to the symbolic harlot who has the name "babylon the grat.
" the harlot represents the false religions of satan's world, which have their origin in the ancient city of babylon.

The information on the pamphlet is great. And you put all that together yourself--excellent! Is there a way I can get a printable version of it? I'd like to distribute it some family members who have studied so that they can know what they are getting into.
Also, can you direct me to a picture you posted a while back with a line across a drawing of a watchtower and remind me how you are using it to spread the word of the truth about the wts? Thanks!

for those of you not "keeping up with the organization"botchtower deals soley with all the bullshit instances of "increased light" on this joke of a religion god's organization.
it asks many drone-like thought-provoking questions as i've listed below.
incredible that these guys claim to be the sole ownership of what is absolute "truth", yet change doctrines like i change lipsticks.
Terry said:
Policy changes and "increasing light" are always the result of publicity and information promulgated by ex-JW's. The heat gets too hot for the upper eschelon members and the only way to relieve the pressure is to suddenly have a divine Epiphany.
This is just about the best explanation I have read with regards to what really is behind the "new light." Thanks for posting on this thread everyone--simply amazing.
