  What Is The Position Of Witnesses For People Who Are Inactive And Don’t Want To Be Bothered By Anyone?

  i used to have some close friends simply pay me a friendly visit or call to see how i was doing.. i am curious as to whether or not the society instructed witnesses to no longer check on inactive ones and treat them as marked or disfellowshipped..

  Either way mentally indoctrinated JWS will shun, disrespect or demean anyone they know who left the organization and this can vary to the slight to the extreme.

  These occurrences are well documented here and other Web forums .

  Why this happens is a causative effect of people showing their steadfast loyalty and devotion to the Organization which to them is Jehovah's chosen organization, ingrained fear goes along way to control people's thoughts and behavior.

  Its not surprising for JWS who come across inactive ex members to show a smiling greeting, some JWS are constantly on the ploy to shepherd lost ones to the flock so to speak.
  

  We know that so most just play along......... at least I do.

  Some might be praying for Jah to make this virus go away so they can return to their Kingdom Halls.

  " Please Jehovah stop this evil virus that Satan has made so that we can return doing your will and purpose, distributing literature from your earthly publishing house. " (JWorg.)

  Witness reaching out to me after 20+ years...

  a few weeks ago; a witness couple from the midwest reached out to me after 25+ years.

  they said they were doing a letter writing campaign and decided to reach out to me… they called on my personal cell phone, which was a little surprising.

  a few days ago, a couple that i knew from over 40 years ago, sent me a text, again to my personal cell phone.. i assume that they just googled my name to get the personal info.

  I think every ex-JWS occasionally bumps into their past JWS associates/friends.

  I personally make a way to pleasantly greet the ones I thought were really down to earth good people and avoid the pretentiously fake ones and yes there is lot of those in the JWS religion too.

  So we can see that the leaders of the JWS had no right or business to tell men they cant wear a beard from a biblical standpoint.

  It is god's creation after all and to degrade his creation is is being unrighteous.
  

  The bible does give instructions how men are to look with the sides of their heads uncut.

  As long as people who in the JWS cult are getting repetitively brainwashed such as Armageddon soon dogma, they will do what the JWS GB leaders say, theological bullshit apostasy in all .

  It also looks like when you go to heaven you turn into a older man with white hair.

  The bible says that the anointed ones are also to be virgins who never had sex while on earth, so all those guys who say they are anointed and were married are in for a big surprise.

  All the ancient Hebrew men including Jesus had a beard.
  

  If mankind is to return to perfection in the new Kingdom order they will return to wearing beards such as Adam had.

  The no beards policy came about the by the men who ran the WTS and was instilled to make its public sales representatives (JWS) look clean and righteous, like a car salesmen with short hair, a suit and an honest smile.

  It was essentially a public image endeavor to make the organization look righteous and clean unlike the worldly religions that are not.
