  Shunning is the big story

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read the story about the family in oregon, gone forever, because of the pressure of shunning.. in my opinion, shunning is the big story about jehovah's witnesses.

  shunning and the fear of shunning is what enables the control of victims of child abuse.

  shunning is what destroys families.

  a little to late, and amazing re: annulments.

  i apologize to all of you who responded to my 'craving for attention' post for not responding on time.

  i was to sick and it's kind of late now to give all the responses.. you certainly gave me the courage to even post again and i already know it's ok if i don't get responses, i'm healed, (you help).. i started to compose a line to each of you, but just know that i love you and i appreciate what you did to me: get confident on the forum and post and practice.. to amazing, willy_think responded to your questions about the annulments and she did a good job.

  Struggling to keep balance

  by Lee Elder in

  2. friends

  dont overstate matters.

  the situation in oregon is a terrible tragedy.

  the watchtowers policy on shunning likely contributed to the tragedy, it may have even been a primary factor but there are any number of other factors that could have contributed as well - too many to even mention!.

  Wealthy JWs = Higher Position in the Org.?

  by AjaxMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've read over the past months that jws are not wealthy.

  however, i wonder if those that are wealthy, are they in a high position like elders, ms, co, do, bethelites?.

  since i know of one here at work who does have yearly travel vacations to locales like las vegas, europe and the caribean.

  Witness Self Hatred

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i do wonder if the average witless has been beat down with so much.

  propaganda that they hate themselves.

  willing to blame themselves for anything - and react fanatically.

  Who is the President of the WTS?

  by Ivor Hope in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many jws know the name of their current president?.

  everyone knows about russell, rutherford, knorr and franz.

  most know about henschel but i haven't come across any that know the name of the current pres.. i believe it's don adams - and he doesn't even claim to be one of the "remnant"!
