  Cage, I did not say shunning was like child neglect. . Read it again.

  You are right saying not caring what the JW think is a sign youve moved on. Wouldnt it be great if we all felt like that.

  Thanks for the post Barb x

  I think shunning is EXACTLY like bullying! Shunning means you TARGET an individual. Shunning is hurtful. It is ACTIVE because you choose behaviour that means you ignore another, purposely causing them pain.

  Thats like saying neglecting a child isnt abuse. Of course it is!

  Hope you are feeling ok, and keeping warm with all the snow and cold winds. Paula x

  Did the elders in your congregation give counsel to those that were DATING? Good or bad counsel?

  i have heard some doozies.

  some elders forbid the couple from sitting together at the meetings unless they are engaged.

  i have heard that said from the platform.

  I was "advised" that although I was happily married, if I ever did become baptized, this would present inummerable problems in the future and that maybe my husband would stop me from spiritually progressing. They didnt say the words, but they implied there could/should be a separation. In the beginning in was "win him without a word"....in the end it was...."at the end of the day Paula, you are married to an agnostic...how would Jehovah feel??"......

  Aw Found Sheep thats a nice story. Your smile probably made their day x

  I remember 2 Christmas's ago, there was a homeless man camped out on the bit of common grass in front of my house, maybe 100 yards away. He is a bit of a well know drunk in the village, but harmless enough. It was freezing, and I mean freezing.....I could see he had a little fire going and blankets etc, but I felt compelled to help.......I told my study teacher about him and his plight and was told in no uncertain terms to stay well away from him.It was snowing hard and I couldnt stop thinking about him and how he came to be in this situation....(He used to be a local newsagent).

  Goodness me, the JW have such wonderful Christian love in them dont they? Not.

  Well, I cant help myself when it comes to others, and I trip trapped down there in the snow and took him a hot meal (Xmas dinner UK style)...and while he was clearly drunk, he was so appreciative of a hot meal, and I will never forget the look on his face. Bless him. I did this for 3 days.....woke up one morning and he was gone.

  It was a week later that I found out the 2 JW ladies I studied with had CALLED THE POLICE and he was forcibly removed......he spent Christmas in JAIL. (Public nuscience offences, apparently). I really couldnt believe it. I had intentions of asking him in to share our dinner with us Xmas morning, and instead he was alone in a cell. I guess it was for his own good?? Not sure. I still find it hard to understand how Jehovahs servants could be so meddling, vindictive, cruel even........

  I dont give money to the homeless but I do buy hot drinks and a sandwich now and again. Im a feeder (as Angus, Nugget, and Mummatron know!)....what I did I was compelled to do. I guess what they did ringing the police they felt compelled to do. But I will never understand it.

  Happy Christmas to you and yours FS xxx Paula xxxxx
