Did You Ever Think You Would Be A Member On A Site Like This?
by minimus inwhen i first started looking at “apostate” sites , i was always watching over my shoulder, hoping no one would catch me viewing “spiritual pornography”.
i found these types of sites mesmerizing but i never thought i’d join one.... look at me now.😈.

Is Child Abuse An Issue That You Personally Have Seen In The Organization?
by minimus inas an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.
he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.
he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.

JW’s do NOT shun... (apprently)
by pale.emperor inmy quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.
however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".
they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.

its said that "the JW dont break up families" because the people that leave are "mentally diseased" and those people are breaking up families. it has NOTHING to do with the Watchtower or anything they teach... (I wish sarcasm translated better) -

I was baptized and never DF or DA, I'm being shunned. My sister was DF and is not shunned. My niece and nephew were both never baptized. Nephew is shunned niece is not.
The inconsistency offends me the most. Sometimes the rules apply and sometimes they don't.. And their twisted reasoning always makes some back-ass sense to them.

there is also this one available. Loyally Uphold Jehovah’s Judgments—Shun Unrepentant Wrongdoers
So which is it? they DO NOT shun or they do.... looks like they are confused too.

then there is this FAQ on JW.ORG titled
Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Shun Former Members of Their Religion?
spoiler alert: Those who were baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned. In fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.
When my mom stops shunning me i'm going to ask her if this is correct.

"Blood Guilty"
by new boy inguilt is such a wonderful tool used by the jehovah’s witnesses.
one of the terms they love to use is the term “blood guilty.” they have actually used this term to guilt their members into doing more and more “house to house activity” yes, they have said on numerous occasions at their kingdom halls and other major gathering that a person “could be blood guilty” for not going out in the field service activity enough.
the reason is simple.

I never thought about the use of the words "blood guilty" till the other day..
It's an interesting choice of words on their part since "blood" is a touchy subject as it is.
Its the one of the most offensive thing one could mess with to displease Jehovah if I recall correctly.. and side note one of the most recent issues i have been able to "get over" but it took a very long time.
Its almost as if they groomed the culture to fear blood, and then twisted it to use at their own discretion. "if you don't go out in service you're blood guilty". essential they have rewritten the statement from the intended meaning, "if you don't do what we tell you, jehovah will hate you".

I havnt watched the video yet. But it did spark a thought, the 2 accounts I can recall that discuss an organization of worship resulted in displeasure to god. The Tower of Babel and the golden calf.
Maybe we are just supposed to focus on life and loving one another and it’s not about wearing a “badge” (literally at conventions, figuratively the name Jehovah’s Witness, or spiritually the distinction Christian) but love god and the byproduct of that is the opposite of chaos, peace...
