  Shun Run 2013 - Good turn out!

  by rawe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  20 made it out for our shun run 2013. we walked the 2.3 miles, then attend a meetup at the library.

  although we planned only for 1 hour at the library the speaking went on for additional 45 minutes, with no objections or anyone falling asleep (acts 20:9).

  this is a bit cheesy and hopefully no one will mind too much, but i'll let you know i posted more details and pictures over at the yuku ex-jw forum: http://exjehovahswitnessforum.yuku.com.

  Shun Run 2013 - Final Booster & Details

  by rawe in

  1. jw

  welcome to the shun run 2013 show love, don't shun.

  every year thousands of individuals leave the faith of jehovah's witnesses.

  although we have asked the leadership to consider softening their stance on extreme shunning it seems they've chosen the opposite course.. in fact the watchtower study for march 10, 2013 was an article entitled: let nothing distance you from jehovah .. paragraph 17 acknowledged the pain shunning causes in a family, when it said:.

  i know its a year away but i wanted to inquire about the hundred year anniversary of 1914. it would be amazing to have a world wide event reguarding all exjws.

  i am nowhere near capable of putting this together but i'd like to propose the largest assembly of exjws ever on october 1st 2014. can it be done?

  am i the first to bring this up?

  WT Society holds EXTREME Responsibility for 1975 and False Expectations

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  however- many jw's who have come into the jw organization from like 1985 forward virtually may have no knowledge of the wt society's 1975 debacle and false predictions of the end times or armageddon predictions.

  just like in in the book 1984 by george orwell the wt society has a way of not only erasing it's history so no newer witnesses will be aware of their false predictions, but also they are re-writing their history as if those false predictions never happened.. so for those of you here who may have never read or heard of how whipped up into an emotional frenzy witnesses were in the years just before 1975 by the wt society claiming the end was any day now- this threads for you.

  to see the pressure that was put on jw's by the wt society to get rid of everything before " armageddon " .

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  FINALLY! Can you prove God exists? If you can I won't ask again!

  by punkofnice in

  2. beliefs

  i have seen debates and shizzle about god or not god etc etc.. i was even confronted by an aggressive and trheatening muslim in the street, who was angry that i wanted proof that god existed.

  he ranted on a load of old b0110cks about 'hell' and stuff.

  finally he yelled at me: 'do you want god to write your name in the sky?

  Shun Run/Walk 2012

  by rawe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am planning a public awareness event for april 1, 2012, i calling "shun run/walk 2012" to draw attention to shunning policies of jehovah's witnesses.

  i use to help out as a moderator on the ex-jehovah's witness recovery forum on yuku, so this is a cross post from that site.

  what you'll see below is a letter i have sent to "sdb:ssy", the otherwise anonymous jw author from us branch who wrote me.

  A Religion of Assumptions

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jehovah's witnesses are a strange cultural phenomenon and one that has always puzzled me.

  members call it "the truth" and, more boldly, "jehovah's organization.

  " but many of those on the outside remain dumbfounded.
