  Finally getting shunned...

  by bluesbreaker59 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well my family has been doing it for a while.

  but i found it really strange, that i live in an area of town with many jw's and still go to all the normal places, and yet i'd not seen them... last week, walking around downtown, i spotted my "step -aunt", (step mom's side) and she put her head down, and wouldn't acknowledge me.

  then i rode up the elevator with her today, same treatment, thought today she made eye contact.

  What was your 1st Deception as a JW?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was was the first thing that really decieved you, in your jw years?.

  was it the way you were treated, or maybe a teaching that deceived you ?.

  i think my 1st deception was when they said that the resurrected ones wouldn't be allowed to get married in the new system.. then i wondered why ???

  Baha'i religion

  by Junction-Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone here know anything about baha'i?, i have never seen it mentioned on here before.

  i remember there was a country singer back in the late 80's that was a baha'i, but i cant remember his name.

  even back then while i was going to the kingdom hall, when i first heard of this singer something in my mind said this is a cult, even though i was associating with the grandaddy of them all.

  Are we obligated to JW family?

  by Granny Linda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while reading through and posting in unbeliever's thread, this topic came to mind.

  personally i do not have any sense of obligation to jw family that still holds to such dogma.

  that means it doesn't matter to me that my mother ignores her grandson; and her great-grandchildren.

  IF I WAS AN ELDER, I WOULD..............

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for decades i heard people say "if i was an elder,i would change this or i wouldn't allow that.brothers and sisters alike would always try to get the ear of an elder so as to enact a particular cause.everybody has their own pet peeves in a congregation.

  knowing what you know now, if as an elder you could make a major change in the congregation or organization, what difference would you make?.....this is hypothetical so it can be answered by male or female.

  WERE YOU AFRAID OF THE ELDERS?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lately, i see a trend going on regarding how congregation members view the elders.

  more and more, i hear people say "i wouldn't tell anything to the elders if they questioned me.years ago all an elder had to say is "we want to talk with you" and a meeting commenced.

  now, there is a view that the elders can't tell me what to do anymore.
