  i am having a very difficult time and i am here right now because i know in my heart, that when i explain what has just happened to me a few minutes ago, you will understand.

  many of you are no doubt going through the same thing.. within several posts here, i have spoken of my mother.

  my dear sweet mother, who just turned 78, and who has been a faithful jw since 1959. she abandoned me in 1981, when i decided to leave the borg, and for twelve years she did not speak to me, write to me, call me, or visit me.

  Karen,

  My heart goes out to you. I know it doesn't help much, but please know that there are people out there tonight who are thinking of you and wishing you well. I know from personal experience how JW parents can treat their children that don't follow their faith. My life partner passed away last October from leukemia, and his father knew he was very ill because I was there when Jon called him and told him. His father just hung up on him, and never once called or visited while Jon was ill. After Jon died he was more than willing to try and get a share of his "son's" estate, and I put the word sons in quotations because I find it sickening that he wouldn't speak to Jon for years, even when he knew he was dying, but he didn't have a problem with trying to get his greedy hands on his belongings. That though is another story, which need not be gone into. Not ever being a JW myself I can't fathom the logic they have regarding shunning, but I can't think of anything more cruel and heartless. And this is coming from a group that claims to be Gods only true Org. Strange. If nothing else, the shunning issue alone made me certain that I would never fall into their cult trap.

  Please take care and know I wish you well,

  Kevin

  sorry it's been some time since i posted but i was busy rearranging my life.

  just wondering what the general consensus is among posters on this board to this question, is death the end of existance, or a portal to a new reality?

  my 2 cents, death is only the beginning of a new reality.

  Hello again to all. Sorry it's been some time since I posted but I was busy rearranging my life.

  Just wondering what the general consensus is among posters on this board to this question, is death the end of existance, or a portal to a new reality?

  My 2 cents, death is only the beginning of a new reality. I would give examples but some here would think I've totally gone into mental warp drive if I did, so let's just leave it be.

  Thanks for your imput.

  Why 2 witnesses to a sin?

  by kevin221 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've read several posts lately that define what exactly can or can't get someone in trouble with the jw's and i'm a little confused.

  how does the 2 witnesses to a sin thing work?

  let me explain why i'm asking.. about 7 years ago a friend of jon's that he has known as a child contacted him via telephone.

  BTTT,
  Because I'm still waiting for Yadirf to answer my question regarding wife beaters and why they are not punished by the JW's unless there are 2 witnesses. Do you agree with the WT stand on this issue or not Yadirf. I realize this may be hard for you, but a simple yes you do agree with the WT on this issue or no you don't will suffice. It's that black and white, so I'm intrigued as to why you won't answer the question. You seem to have an opinion on everything else that is posted on this board.

  And yes I meant to spell it KNOW, because that's exactly what the elders in that situation did, and yet did nothing about it.

  Kaethra,
  Seems as if your aunt did go thru the same experience as Jon and I'm sorry to hear that. What I still don't understand is how she could be accused and convicted of ADULTERY with a GAY MAN. Makes no sense to me, they must have just wanted to shut her up on the abuse charge.

  Dave,
  The hermaphrodite question is so very valid. Is a JW automatically kicked out if they are a hermaphrodite?? From other posts I've seen it would make sense to me that this would be a disfellowshipping offense. I mean come on, they would have a penis and a vagina in such close proximity that it would only stand to reason that a sin had occured. There must be something going on there. BTW I would give big money to see the 2 witnesses to that sin. LOL.

  Yadirf,
  I'm still waiting for your answer to my question about wife beating. Do you think the example above or the JW philosophy and treatment, or lack there of is the correct action. Please let me know your viewpoint, or are you too chicken shit to answer a legit question. And please, if you are just going to answer with a bunch of shit then don't bother wasting my time. I only want to know one thing, do you think it is right for elders to ignore wifebeating because there are not 2 witnesses to the crime. A simple yes or know will suffice.

  Kevin
