.. in Australia you would struggle to rent a flea infested motel room for one night for that money
There was one infested place at Warwick Farm but even that charged more! š«¤

Research paper on Effects of Shunning
by peacefulpete inafter being around this site for 21 years now, i've heard many recount their stories and feelings.
many times i can immediately relate but other times they seem to have had a very different experience with the church.
i'm sure that is because not only are all of us different in personality, but congregations and family dynamics vary as well.

Hi Jan
Joe , l am sorry to say that l am not familiar with yours and Slimboy's assertion that the activity rates of JWs , compared to other religious traditions, are exceptional.
I too share the Anglican tradition. My wife, Mrs Ozzie and I became lay ministers after 50 years as dubs, then leaving and latterly doing bible college
Iāve gottasay that my experience is that Anglicans find it hard to comprehend the control that the WT has over its adherents, the extent to which that control extends.
The experiences related on this forum may seem bizarre to outsiders but are real to so many.
iāve been around this forum for 21 years and have witnessed so many testimonies of abuse by the WT. At times it reads like an instant replay but nonetheless the experiences are real. The abuse and anguish are real. My wife (Mrs Ozzie) and I have felt it on a deeply personal level.
IMO youāve got to have been there, to have walked in their shoes to really understand.
Blessings
Ozzie š·

I haven't heard about Tibor in a long time as well. I hope that he has moved on with his life.
Was he āGraciousā to the end?

The GB announced that these new GB members are "anointed Christians" however they have no special, God given powers to make that call, only their trust that these men are telling the truth.
āOh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive,ā
Trying to cover up one lie (the Joe Ratherflawed anti-Scripture, apostate prognostication of two classes for salvation) with such convolutions as the overlapping interpretation and āwho are we to judgeā who is or who is not of the special class, leads to all manner of error.

It is pathetic how they force this "144000 only can partake" when the Bible clearly says that ALL Christians should take from the emblems.
Yep, it does and, while we do that, we make sure that those bound by the bizarre constrictions of Watchtower ābeliefā know the Bible teaches āone hope, one Lord, one baptismā and not the hallucinations of the intemperate Joe Ratherflawed who substituted his teachings over truth. The truth was replaced by a lie. Jesus taught one hope, Joe said, ā Oh no, thereās two ! ā The trajedy is that millions believed the lie.
It matters little who the Borg regurgitates as part of its leadership, a lie is still a lie.
And Ozzie is still Ozzie. Cheers š·

How do JWs know that millions who were martyred as Christians before the 20th century did not have the heavenly hope?
by Vanderhoven7 inas i understand it, jehovahās witnesses believe less than 145,000 faithful christians existed prior to the twentieth century.
the other sheep christians did not start forming until after 1914. that means jehovahās witnesses view millions martyred for their faith in christ prior to the 20th century as merely professed christians.. the question isā¦how do witnesses know that those millions who perished for their faith in christ were not christians at all?.

If I can recall ( it seems so long ago) this was one of those things we/(they) close not to think about too much. Yānow those lines of thought that got terminated by āitās in Jehovahās handsā,
Looking back, there were so many of those unexplained thoughts.
Part of my own awakening was to visit the catacombs in Rome and see at first hand the evidence of so many early christian martyrs and to realise that it didnāt look realistic to claim there were less than 144,000 in the centuries before 1914.
For those R&F in these current times I find it hard to grasp how they can possibly accept an increasing number of the remnant (memorial partakers).
Cognitive dissonance indeed !

I suspect that you and I left the UK for similar reasons, even though expressed differently ?
Iām glad to say that Mrs Ozzie and I found a much better place, even though itās in the ācoloniesā.
