  Qisme , your sister is cult affected, when someone is shunned for religious grounds is no different from someone killed for religious reasons.The one who is proactive for a religious cause will honestly think they are on a divine mission. When such thoughts are embedded on their mind there is little you can do until they see for themselves the bigger picture.

  As humans we are always trying to read people, especially people who are new to our lives, everyone thinks they are a good judge of character. We read people's posts on here and look at their emoji and in our minds we try and read people. We say to ourselves that person is nice , that person is crazy, that person is different, then we feel sorry for that poor person who has been abused. As humans it's easy to become little judges, my thoughts on matters is that everyone is a little crazy. If someone says that such and such is not a little crazy ,my response is they haven't spent enough time with such ones. We all reward loyalty. Life is very short ,we need to go out of our comfort zone and embrace different people because deep down most people all want same things.

  something you're not likely to see in the "secret to family happiness" book.

  put the borgs needs, desires and agenda before the children every time, all the time.

  What all JW parents put their children through IS child abuse, no wordly friends, no sports, meetings, door knocking, birthdays, all holiday celebrating, no playing with guns swords , no hunting ( I don't know how they think their steak got on dinner plate without a violent ending ) The problem with JWs is that the word NO is constantly before them just like the kid in the drama who couldn't even play the bloody violin without some twisted scripture.

  Why Marrying An Outsider Is NOT A Disfellowshipping "Offense"

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so yeah, i was thinking about this.

  marrying an unbeliever is considered to be wrong, but at the same time, it is not a disfellowshipping "offense".

  well, the reason is simple: there is more to gain than to lose by not disfellowshipping.

  It might not be a DF offence but it certainly doesn't provide an environment where our dear sister get an invitation to local elders place for dinner with her pagan husband.

  I'm a simple type person, I've seen plenty of animals such as dogs cows doing homosexual acts, I'm sure it's feels natural for the animals .

  yesterday i bumped into an old friend from my last workplace.

  he's a gay man and we were good friends along with a woman from the same office.

  although i was a jw at the time, i would go for the occasional after work drinks with them, blackpool funfair every year and the occasional cinema or theater.
