Lol if they came mum would be as nice to then as to anyone because although she's atheist, she's more Christian than anyone else I've met in my life. Although a non believer, she's modeled her life after Jesus's example of charity and forgiveness so although the jws upset her, she's forgiven those who will never forgive someone with an apostate daughter.

Shunning now applies to non-jw relatives of apostates...
by Julia Orwell inapparently.
my never-a-jw mother was at the shops with my never-a-jw 5 year old niece today and saw some jws she's known loosely for years as they were friends of mine.
she'd even taught the teenaged girl among them.

Apparently. My never-a-jw mother was at the shops with my never-a-jw 5 year old niece today and saw some jws she's known loosely for years as they were friends of mine. She'd even taught the teenaged girl among them. She sees them and decides to approach them to say hello, and as she reaches them they all turn their backs on her and the little girl. She thought it pathetic of them but when she told me I wanted to tear their heads off.
It's one thing that people I've known since birth ( the teenager) and since 1998 shun me because their puppet masters tell them to, but my mother? WTF did my mother ever do to them? I'm so mad cuz no one treats my mother like that!!!! I want to call them up and give them a mouth ful, but WTF would be the point!

About three months. My fade was very quick. Once I knew ttatt my head rebelled at the meetingsand I began missing more and more and the 2013 memorial was my last. I'd planned a longer fade but I just couldn't take the bs anymore.

Is this new donation arrangement for real?
by nugget injust read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.
congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.
congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

I wonder how this tithe like arrangement will work in really poor countries. Is the head of a household of Zambian subsistence farmers going to be asked how much more of his little plot he can set aside to grow stuff to sell for contribution money? Or is the single mother of the Guatemalan child who raises a chicken, sells it for a dollar, and donates the dollar to the wt, going to have to make a pledge to have her child raise another chicken each year?
I've been to an Asian country where the jws travel to an assembly after saving all year. I heard of a sister who some days didn't even have 50 cents to buy rice for her children. A non jw neighbor or other might give her 50 cents so she and the kids get at least one meal that day. Jws who work 6 days a week and make a dollar a day and live in grass huts. These large extended Asian families living on nothing are discouraged from pooling their resources to send just one son or nephew to a more affluent country to send money back to the family or to school to get a better job to lift the family out of grinding poverty. How TF do they expect these people to make pledges? Or is this arrangement only for developed countries? In that case, not one cent will go to helping an ailing Burmese grandma or giving 50 cents a day so a widow's children can eat.

Why do you identify each black speaker but no have in brackets after the others (white)? Does identifying a man specifically as black have some special significance to American readers that I as an Australian am missing? Cuz to me it shouldn't make a difference if a person is black and therefore I wouldn't stipulate that he's black.

Jesus had to die? Really?
by punkofnice ini admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.
couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.
i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.
