  Is shunning an expression of love or just a place for the shunner to hide?

  by cha ching in

  to three people in my family, disfellowshipping / shunning is just a tool the wtbs uses to hide what really happened.... they don't want people to 'see behind the curtain.'.

  Thank you both, flipper & AEW....

  In the weeks leading up to the DFing, even tho the new 'silver sword'had been received, the 'bro' used the reference bible, so he could give the the 'mentally diseased' 'hate speech talk.'

  One in my family views it this way: "The people at the hall think they show "love by shunning." His response is, "Love by education."

  Two days ago, he had a 35 minute conversation with a witness, the first 5 were akward, "Did you know I was DF'd?" but, the 30 minutes after left both with their dignity. Each expressed love for each other, and the active witness is determined to find out all the facts about child abuse issues.

  This family member is hopeful that there are several active witnesses on the verge of a "crisis of conscience" and will be joining in the stand against the WT.

  The other DF'd family members have not had any positive experiences thus far.

  I am not DF'd, but have been treated very 'differently.'

  My family has known I'm an apostate

  i found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.

  this piece of news is just so depressing.

  i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.

  This is so maddening, I feel for you.

  I want to be sarcastic, and make comments like: "Oh, I feel so loved by God, and this convinces me it is the truth!" and "I think I'll start going back to meetings right now!" with a followup of: "I wonder what blackmail is?"

  The people left in are getting more and more "obedient".. How is this any different than Hitler & the Nazis?

  Make sure that you make friends with other people outside of this terribly mean organization.

  Night and Day from GB to Writing committee? Someone explain?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  2. beliefs

  im sure by now most of you are familiar with anthony morris talk from this weekend.

  im even seeing memes posted all over instagram from jw mocking it.. here is my question, why are the things written so different from how the gb members, like anthony morris are?

  i know the gb dont actually write the stuff but i was under the impression that they come up with the spiritual light pass if off to the writing committee and they put it in the publications.

  Could it be the number of jw under 5 million?

  by Crazyguy in

  i was thinking about this last night, in the year book they publish the number or peak and average publishers.

  as we know a publisher could simply be a child getting out in service regularly.

  if two parents baptized have to small children that are publishers then they are counted as four.

  When I heard about the rearrangement of Circuit Assemblies, one day eacy?, and the "International" Convention, I thought, "Hey, this is all to condense everyone so that they can't tell the numbers are dwindling"

  A quick peek at the most embarrassing facts gleaned from PYRAMIDOLOGY and " Jehovah's Witness"

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  measuring the great pyramid of egypt reveals exact prophetic dates.. _______________.

  that was the crackpot theory of so-called pyramidologists.. among the men who promoted this silly idea was the founder of the watchtower publishing corporation, pastor c.t.russell.. he did not originate pyramidology, but he copied the work of the astronomer royal of scotland, professor charles piazzi smyth.

  as well as another fellow named john taylor (the great pyramid (1859) and built a grand bit of humbug theology.

  Thx Terry....

  Good question to ask:

  "Would you have become one of "Jehovah's Witnesses" if you had read and known about all of this insane, non-christian pyramidology?"

  As we have learned from Steven Hassan... 'If the answer is no, then you can conclude that you were in a cult.'

  It seems as tho people are using their "tablets" / "phones" at meetings now, right?

  Perhaps you have a desire to learn something? a hobby? Can you take a college class, then study for it at the meetings?

  That way you will kill two birds with one stone.

  People see you at the meeting, but you are accomplishing things, feeling good about the time spent in your life.
