  Did you feel contempt for Non Witnesses

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the other day i went to this farm owned by this jw lady with my wife being a jw and my mother being a non witness.

  later taking to my mother she noticed this vibe like this jw lady really hated her.

  she just had these little slags like when we tried to pay for the fruit we picked , she looked directly at my wife and said " don't worry about it, i only charge wordly people ".. i also have this aunt who is a jw we are estranged from.

  I Dont Want My JW Family To Wake Up

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's come to the point now, after being out almost 5 years, that i've come too far with my life, acheived the things i wanted (or i'm on the road to), did the things i wanted to do and have reached a happy and satisfactory life.. i did all this on my own apart from exjws such as yourselves online for support.

  after reaching a place where i finally dont think about wt everyday and stopped getting emotional or worked up about my former jw life i'm glad to simply live my life and let others get on with theirs.. but, if my family were to leave and get in touch i'd have to deal with all that shit again.

  i'd have to deal with people who's personality i deliberately removed from my life as i was building an authentic nonjw life.. my mother would likely still be closed minded and homophobic.. my sisters would likely still live for gossip and social media stalking.. my cousins would likely still put on a pretence of wealth to impress those around them.. i really cant be doing with such people.. it sounds bad, but i really hope they stay in.

  Shunning and who does it?

  by Giordano in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  only the most gross and controlling religions shun...... it's a tool for coercing someone to shut up and go along or lose contact with friends and family.. they often don't know why they have to shun a family member or a friend just that they are compelled to do so or suffer the same punishment.......... that's a criminal act by the way........ it's coercion.

  coercion means you are being forced to act in a certain way where you would normally not be inclined to act in that manner.. "family estrangement is the norm in jehovah's witness families.

  every jehovah's witness suffers from shunning - either you're being shunned, or you have to shun.

  Why you Should wear a mask.

  by Giordano in

  1. social
  2. current

  from health and science in the week august 14, 2020. page 21.

  "scientists know that face masks can prevent infected people from spreading the corona-virus to others.

  now research suggests that masks can also protect uninfected wearers, by reducing the risk they'll get seriously ill from the virus--or even catch it in the first place.. virologists suspect that people wearing face coverings inhale fewer airborne viral particles, making it easier for their immune system to fight and defeat the intruders.. in one seafood plant in oregon where masked were widely used, 90% of all cases were asymptomatic.. likewise, the asymptomatic rate was above 80 percent on a cruise ship where passengers were issued masks.".

  Tonight's Meeting

  by Studyover in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  during tonight's meeting the brother seemed to read out something along the lines of "you may be helping a poor sister who you think may be struggling, but in turn that sister may be getting financial assistance from the government.

  it is always best to stick to jehovah's arrangement in these matters so that help can get to those who most need it, including the worldwide work".

  i think it may have been an article about social media platforms initially and how they should be avoided and then this was mentioned.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it started off as "dear friend ,as one of your neighbours" , however the postmark on the letter was from 2 townships away ?

  a good twenty minute car drive away .a minor point i know.

  it goes on about how she is concerned about the effects that current events are having on the welfare of the community and the corona-virus has prevented her from discussing the issues personally with me.. she then goes on to state and quote jeremiah 29:11 and then goes on to say "for more information about this promise and other questions like :.

  What Is The Position Of Witnesses For People Who Are Inactive And Don’t Want To Be Bothered By Anyone?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to have some close friends simply pay me a friendly visit or call to see how i was doing.. i am curious as to whether or not the society instructed witnesses to no longer check on inactive ones and treat them as marked or disfellowshipped..
