  Lookout western Christianity - here comes the Chinese

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  the material i've studied about early christianity leads to the conclusion that what passes for modern christianity is the result of luck.

  ideas required support, so who was lucky enough to get the numbers at a conference?

  (often dependent on who could get there).

  Another thing I like about the Chineese, is that they don't mind admitting when they are wong.

  i haven't been to a meeting in about a year, made up my mind about six months ago that jw's are just another religion and that its not for me.

  started dating a "worldly" girl 10 months ago and got engaged this past weekend.

  i'm having a hard time deciding who to invite to the wedding.

  Congratulations on getting married. Depending on your how your JW friends/family feels about you marrying an unbeleiver will determine if they will attend. Just ask them to RSVP you when you provide them with the invitations.

  I wish you a joyous wedding day.

  I'm trying to follow along this discussion, but have to admit I got heated up because shunning is something that I really hate.

  I'm kind of trying to understand Marvin's expalnation or wavelength on the matter of extreme shunning and comparing the employers relationship with employess. Here are my questions.

  What happens when a Lawyer is disbarred? or, What happens when a Dr loses his medical license? Is this a form of shunning?

  First of all let me say that those feelings that you are having towards one another are normal, and you shouldn't be feeling guilty about any of it. The timing may not look good because this natural thing is supposed to happen after your marriage. If you are going to play by JW rules, make sure that you have less private moments togeather untill your marriage takes place.

  This subject is a bit interesting, and confusing. Are we not agreeing to what we see happening as a hindrance to human rights through the practice of Shunning? I don't care about the Scientologists, Quakers, Adventists etc. I care about some family members who are affected by a bullying tactic. I still want the JW's to have the religious right, but not Hatred rights. Just like any Nation has a right to rule their country, but, this does not allow the practice of prejudice,and mental abuse. What is a Human Rights principle? Has mankind mastered the quality of kindness that we should stop fighting for it right now. Lately, we find the WT, Catholics taken a passive approach towards Homosexuality. The message is love the person, but not the practice, Don't become Homo phobic. But, for someone that no longer wants to beleive the same as they used to believe he/she is Mentally ill?

  The WT is broken on this matter. Any attention or public announcement to this violation of Human rights should be addressed.

  Good job, Barb

  Baffling comment by my JW parents about non-witness funeral

  by joyfulfader in

  my parents attended the funeral of an elderly family member today.

  being out of state i was unable to attend.

  i asked how it went and was told that "worldly" people don't care enough about anyone to mention anything personal.

  The recent JW funeral talks are starting to get better, I'd have to admit. The older ones that I've heard seemed to be an exploitation of the moment to give a preaching message.

  normal family affections and dealings?.

  today i added a new article to my blog.

  it helps readers explore and better understand the world of watchtower and what it considers normal.

  The speaker at the DC that I attended toned down the message, although it was still bad. It's so unjust towards those who live such moral lives, but, because they will openly express that they don't want to agree with some, not all of the teachings of the GB.

  What is the harm done?

  Hiding behind the concept that this is the devine will, is irreprehensible. It goes to show you to what length they will go to get their way in their war against freedom of thouht.
