we know the jw rumor mill has gotten back to our family that we no longer attend.
most of our family is out of state.
Has anyone else had this happen?
You`re lucky..
I had to wait for some JW relatives to die, so they would shut up about WBT$/JW topics..
It`s peaceful now..

Hanging out with JWs is exhausting!
They were not themselves! None of them truly were! During the discussion, you could tell when someone wanted to go into a subject and stopped.

could the wt publish articles about how gay people should be killed and if a friend or family member turns out to be gay, that they should kill them and if they don't they will die at armageddon, etc?

'shunning is a personal choice'.
Could the WT teach, "kill gay people" and claim freedom of religion?
