This cult has always spoke out both sides of thier mouths. I can see them stating something of the effect about not shunning at the convention for public propaganda reasons and then turn right around in in the next month's WT state all sorts of reminder why you should not associate with someone. So shunning gone but stricter association rules more stringent. Plus I think a lot of rank and file like the shunning it makes them feel superior.

Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention
by FusionTheism ini saw a rumor a few weeks ago on reddit that the new imitate jesus convention is supposed to present new light and clarified understandings on the disfellowshipping/disassociation practices.. supposedly, if this rumor has any truth to it, there will be a talk given at the convention about how we should not be strict like the pharisees in how we shun people, loosening up some of the jw rules about this practice.. has anyone here heard anything about this or have more info on it?.

If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?
by cofty inimagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).
how would you respond to your family?.
personally i think i would be less than cooperative.

I don't believe it, if JW's don't shun the numbers of people learning ttatt go way up and fence sitters that would leave yet don't do to shunning would be free to go. -

"I cant wait to meet Abraham!"
by stuckinarut2 in"i can't wait to meet abraham" was the eager comment made by a young 7 year old witness girl.. when asked why, she said "because he was jehovahs friend, and he was even willing to kill his own son!".
this comment was said with joy and excitement!
she can't see the obvious issues with this?.

I want to meet I think his name was Josiah son of Hezikiah. He does like his father continues to make sure Judea only worships the true God and is a good man. But God let him get his ass kicked and killed by Necro the Egyptian Pharoah anyway. -

I sent her home right away but then thought it would be mean to not let her come back over at a later date. So I decided the thing to do was to kill slowly and sacrifice my oldest daughter to myself because this really pissed me off that this little 4 year old would not do what I told her to do. What a way to start off this weekend. Hope you'll all have a better weekend then me. -

The Story of Adam and Eve, Sexist, Egotistical and Guilt-Inducing
by sabastious input yourself in the mind of an ignorant early human.
he can speak, he can understand his surroundings and can even chart the stars in the night sky.. .
one other thing this man can understand is injustice: when bad things happen to people who didnt do anything to deserve them.. .

The oldest creation stories about Adam named Adamu both meaning man are Sumerian and Akkadian. But the original poster made a good point. In other civilizations around Judea they all reverred a female diety that was a major part of thier creation myth. The Jews on the other hand were quick to try and get rid of any female diety and made woman just men's property. They may have been the first civilization to treat woman like dirt.
