anyone who is a witness or was previously a witness, is aware of the written & un-written rules concerning association with disfellowshipped family members.. there are a multitude of quotes through out the watchtower publications, but these 2 will suffice.. "are you proving yourself holy by not associating with family members or others who are disfellowshipped?
"the clear instruction in the bible is: avoid them.
that means that we have to stay away from them... the bible says that apostates are mentally diseased and that they use their teachings to make others think like them... what must we do to avoid false teachers?

PS: I hate this fucking religion. The rules, policies, practices and procedures have stolen my children from me. If I ever could find a way to get my hands on the people responsible for this, I would be sure to make them confront what they are and what they have done before I ended their pathetic lives.

The fact is that Jesus Never shunned anyone
Let's review: It's a cult!
hey guys, here's something to think about.
in my country there's a small town of a few thousands people were most people are jws.
can you image what's like living there?
Sounds like a nightmare.
Inbreeding at its worst.

did any of you guys sit down and read this??
it's long but i assure you it's a great read.. .
IMHO, the PMQ is NTQ. Indeed, he's PFS. Seriously, WTF!?!
We all know TTATT and they're just in CYA mode. It's SNAFU.
GTC.
it has been a few months since i hear this from an elder.
he said that the c/o told them this new requirement.. "men that wanna be an elder or ministerial servant has to go out to field service on sundays.
if there is an elder or ministerial servant that is not going out to field service on sunday can lose the priviledge".
You forgot: No tight pants or colored socks and no "Spanx" on their wives when jogging.
Let's review: It's a cult!
it seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.
it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!
) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.
I think the best response is no response. If you don't feed them, they go away.
nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.
the debate.
for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.
Ok, I'll wait a little longer ..... that should be enough ... DISMISSED!

Hey guys, it's a DEPOSITION. It says that in the title of this thread on on page 2 of the linked transcript.
Ashe was not on a witness stand in a court room. This is out of court testimony.
It's part of the discovery process pre-trail. There was not a judge present.
The attorneys voice their objections for the record so they are there if and when a trail occurs later.
just out of the blue i asked my wife whos been a jw for some 30 odd years can she explain the overlapping doctrine.
she said to me she never heard of this and said she will have to look it up.
i thought oh s#^%!.
What percentage of the JW world do you think dont know or can explain this doctrine
No one can explain it. It's nonsense.
in your time of being a witness, have you witnessed a jw experience death of a loved one due to refusal of a blood transfusion?
i know this is an extremely sensitive subject and can reopen deep emotional wounds.
if you're willing to share, i am interested.
game1914over: If this has happened to someone that you know, how are they dealing with it or have dealt with it through the years? Is there a sense of guilt or regret? Or have they just put it all behind?
Life goes on, but you can never put something like that behind you.
For those that wake up, the sense of betrayal by the organization which we trusted is overwhelming.
The leaders of this religion make ridiculous demands of their followers, yet they NEVER take any responsibility for their actions.
