in the mid-90's my wife faced a bogus charge of gossiping.

the charge was based on a fleshly sister of a jw easedropping on a conversation.

we fought the charge with the elders unable to produce any credible report of the actual conversation.

How can someone be "of our sort" for 30 years and then suddenly become "not of our sort?"

3. Invited a gay couple to spend the weekend in our home, so I could view them as real people.

I did better than that - I moved in with a lesbian couple!

Yet another "Shunning is good for you, honest!" quote in the June 15th 2013 Watchtower

by cedars in

hi folks.

that's right, the new june 15th 2013 study edition is out now on this link.... http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/28/w_e_20130615.pdf.

the following quote caught my eye, from the final study article on page 28.... .

Because they can't find any other experience to use where JWs are really shunning their family. Everyone I know uses the "family business" loophole anytime it's convenient for them. Including elders.

Not so! My mother and brother haven't checked up on me in nearly 9 years. Of course, I'm worse than a disfellowshipped person - I DA'd myself.

i have been out of the "truth" for about 13 years, but 9 of those years i was someone who was out but thinking i would probably go back at some point...out but not all the way out mentally.

my family are still active members and i am a little bit shunned, not invited to family get togethers, that sort of thing.

i was one of those people that left and then did drugs and partied for a while.
