  An active Witness proudly tells me about Shunning her kids back into the 'truth"

  "as he is a god of love.. these things serve to protect individuals aswell as the congregations.

  as a parent i fully understand the concept of wanting my children to choose their friends wisely, to be careful about literature they read & so on & would i cast them out for being wayward?

  yes, i have, & they learnt their lesson & were welcomed back with immediacy the minute they made the necessary changes.

  Brother Dan - you hit the nail on the head! "They are choosing men in brooklyn that they've never even met over their own children." It's absolutely INSANE! I know what it's like from personal experience. I'm shunned by family. I mean, come on, I'm not a friggin' drug addict or convict. I've never even tried a cigarette for frick's sake! I'm just a mild mannered, clean cut "gay" (shhhh) college professor. I mean, there are families that could do a lot worse than that, right? And there ARE families out there who don't completely reject their children because they happen to be professors...or gay.

  Billy -- you are so right. BEAUTIFULLY said as always. But why not talk for a second about bank robbers anyway? (Humor me!). If one of my children grew up to be a bank robber and I knew they robbed a bank, I'd be the first to call the police. Seriously, I'd turn them in if they robbed a bank or hurt someone. But you know what, I'd be at the trial every single day, and move to be near whatever prison they were sent to so I could visit every day. NO WAY could I ever abandon my child no matter what. Never.

  When you realized that it was all a lie.. how did you cope?

  i realized about a year ago after much lurking here, that the truth was in fact a lie.

  it rocked me to my core to come to the understanding that everything that i have been taught, believed in and taught people myself was in fact not true.

  when you are a born in like myself, the teachings of the wts become all you know.

  Gutted ! You are being rather mischievous. I know you love the French speaking peoples of this world down deep in your heart somewhere. Now, let me have the last word on this so we don't hijack this thread.

  Now Gutted...We don't have to go there ! We can all love each other. I have strong ties to three Canadian provinces, not just QC, BTW. Why do I keep disclosing more than I should on here?

  Outlaw - I have strong ties to Canada. Don't want to say too much on here about that, but can I just say I LOVE Canada!!!!!!!! (And I have never even tasted beer).

  Ô Canada!
  Terre de nos aïeux,
  Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
  Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
  Il sait porter la croix!
  Ton histoire est une épopée
  Des plus brillants exploits.
  Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
  Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
  Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

  (((((((((Canada))))))))))

  (((((((((Canadians)))))))))))

  Edited to read: P.S. I'm not Candian but I totally wanna be. But I would never be able to drink beer or even taste it.

  Sab - I love ya lots. But with all due respect, I do think the Watchtower Corp. higher ups knowingly lie to the rank and file.
