  Why is it so hurtful to be shunned? Why object to it?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  it seems like many feel hurt or saddened by the practice of shunning by witnesses.. yes, when ones who we were close to, perhaps family or ones we thought were close friends choose to follow the warped directions of the society, it may seem hurtful.. but really, our reaction is up to us.

  the fact is, these ones have shown that in reality, their love for us was never real or genuine.

  no, those relationships were superficial and lacking in substance.

  The worst thing you can do to someone is takeaway their pride ,which is often their family who they love and have life experiences with,take that from a man can be equivalent to a prisoner non association with family. First and foremost it's non scriptual and secondly it's satanic to say a baptised child can't change religion without having to chose family association.

  i still go to the meetings because of my in wife and it came about that the elders knew of my pissed off attitude about the society getting involved in the un.

  so the elders said they could help me get over that and wanted to meet with me.

  now just to let you know, i have only told my wife and her mom so far about it, that's it.

  Remember these guy wouldn't believe you spoke truth even if you preformed a miracle, religious hierarchy has alway swayed most powerful influences. They are not capable of sound reasoning due to cult influence or their own power trip. Their problem lies in their trusting "mothership" for directions. The other problem you have is nearly all friends on here have been cult affected, which I'm sad to say is a hard shackle to throw. Most important to remember is our fellow friends here have been willing to forsake family for their freedom of religious choice,( but they didn't sacrifice friends,the friendships at KH were conditional on church service) . Try and live life without looking over shoulder.

  The bigger a religion grows the more paranoid they become, same as governments, Russia is building bunkers as we speak. There is 100% certainty that Warwick has bunker cellar shelter cave ,whatever prince Anthony calls it, well stocked with caviar, wine ,185000 angels.

  only 10% need antivenom, it is administered only after checking coagulation levels, brown snake ruins coagulation so you typically die from brain heart liver bleeding. My farm is an hour from town ,children and dogs can easily die in under two hours, adults are in trouble after 3-4 hours, horses 6-9. When I was bitten I had to walk half a mile to farmhouse, then drive like crazy. It was a defining moment with regards to my fading, due to imagining that if I was JW in old days it would of been lights out chook.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses Boasted They have No Clergy Laity Class ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well that`s what was impressed on me to differentiate between the true religion and false religion , when i was converted in 1960 , do they still claim that ?

  believing that they still do , i will say this.. what about ,:the governing body who definitely are set apart from the rank and file for their attitude towards the r&f , but also from the attitude of the r&f towards the governing body members.many do seem to idolise gb members by their actions , and the gb members dont seem to discourage that.. and not only for their attitude , how about their life-style , being housed in bethel with all the mod -cons of modern civilization as opposed to a r&f member living in a third world country .does the wt society do anything to make their lifestyle improve ?

  { did jesus have a place to rest his head ?

  I know that if Christ physical returned today he couldn't even get an interview with Mr Morris due to his dress code and facial hair

  Would you be a GB member if you were asked ?

  by atomant in

  2. beliefs

  off course you need to think back to when you were a jw to answer this question honestly and properly.but hypothetically if you had the spirituality and knowledge and was approached to be appointed as a gb member would you have taken on the position?and if you did what changes would you recommend ?.

  It might seem appealing, but we only have so much time on this planet ,and to waste it with people who would make better Israelites than Christians seems pointless. You would be outnumbered for change ,so it boils down to who you want to surround yourself with. Do some charitable deeds you will feel better.

  If it looks like your getting drilled , ask the dickheads if Geoffrey Jackson was serious about the slaves attitude towards the channel of communication. He's on record as saying it would be "presumptuous " to think it's the only one. Play it on your ph for them, remember to record everything. If it bothers your conscience lying , remember it didn't bother Geoffrey lying or maybe he believed his own Shi.. . Either way ask the elders should Geoffrey be dealt with for apostasy or lying, you could even ask does he come under different rules, keep focused stick to your diversion. Turn the tables. If it turn into a JC insist on meeting at a place of your choosing. KH is not a neutral ground keep them out of their comfort ground. Ask for every accusation to be back up by specific scripture. But true reality is you are only buying time , if you believe black book even Christ couldn't prevent linching.

  Because they refused education they missed out on the real money making scam of building and running hospitals.
