Question... Do JWs shun Family?
by Sassy ini had a disagreement with xq in chat today, because he was trying to say that jws for the most part disobey the wts and still treat family like family even if they are dfd or quit being witnesses.. i don't feel that is true.
i think that the majority of us on here who no longer are jws have family members who no longer have anything to do with us and shun us.... so i said it would be interesting to take a poll and see how many here are treated just like all the rest of your 'loving family' who is a jw still.......are you treated the same?.
does family shun you for being df'd, da'd or no longer participating?or do they hide and talk to you but only when other active jws can't see?

I think my mother is more liberal than most JW's. She doesn't call me much, but I call her and she will talk to me a long time. We don't discuss religion, of course, but just general things about the family, etc. She's never not accepted my phone calls.
When my grandmother died 4 years ago, I nearly had a nervous breakdown thinking about all the family members that would shun me during the funeral. My grandmother was extremely special to me and was one of the few people that did not shun me when I was DF'd in 1983. Fortunately, my mother "talked" to my family members before the funeral and I was not shunned in my extreme state of grief. I love her for that.
I think it depends on who you are and how "high up" your family is in the "food chain" whether or not you are shunned by your family.

Desib,
How close are you to New Orleans? I absolutely fell in love with NO when I was down there last summer. I can't wait to go back. Just need to convince the "other half" to go! He hates the hot and humid stuff.

Annie,
Paraseek is a good one too. I think we're linked to that one as well. As I recall, someone being born with a caul means that they have psychic abilities. That may be an old wives tail, but I've heard it many times.
Where are you in NY? We used to live in the Ballston Spa/Saratoga Springs area.

CG, wouldn't it be a hoot to have an ex-JW ghost hunting group? Too bad our we're all spread out through the world!
Maybe we can plan a ghost hunt/apostate-fest in New Orleans!

It's obvious I haven't been here for a couple of days!
I believe there is "something" out there besides demons. Throughout childhood, I was taught that all demons were supposed be evil, slaves of Satan. If that were true, then all paranormal experiences would be bad and scary, wouldn't they? If you read books on "true ghost stories", most encounters are NOT scary or bad.
Country Girl and I have the same philosophy about ghosts. While a ghost hasn't exactly walked up to me and said "Howdy", I've had some strange experiences on my ghost hunting expeditions. I am still waiting for that one experience that will totally convince me! But I'm sure CG will agree with me that most of the fun with ghost hunting is the "hunting" part.
There are no real answers to whether or not ghosts exist. Any evidence brought to the table that ghosts exist are immediately de-bunked by skeptics and scientists.
As CG stated, www.shadowlands.com is a good website to check out. If anyone is interested, they can check out my group's site as well. www.glpr.org. We are also linked to shadowlands.
Peace out my friends!

What is your Favorite Scene from a Movie?
by Sweetp0985 ini thought about this topic last night for the board when watching one of my favorite movies.. 1. the man from snowy river- the part when they are going after the expensive colt and they get to the edge of the cliff and all the other riders stop and "jim" keeps going and leaps down the cliff after the wild horses.
i absolutely love that part of the movie...everytime its on i have to watch it, if not just to see this part only.. 2. love and basketball- when she tells him she will play for his heart...awwww first time i started crying.
and then the music they had playing in the background made it even worse.

The end of Shawshank Redemption. One of the best endings for a movie EVER!
The end of Dirty Dancing. I agree with Lady Lee, I love it when Patrick Swayze says "Nobody puts Baby in a corner". I CRY every time she does the jump.
The train scene from Risky Business. Tom Cruise, Rebecca DeMornay, Phil Collins. A TRULY erotic scene.
The beginning of There's Something About Mary when he gets his balls caught in his zipper. I laugh hysterically every time I watch it.
The end of the movie Crossroads with Ralph Macchio and Jami Gertz. Ralph's character duals rocker Stevie Vai for the old man's soul. The guitar work in that scene is amazing.

Chilling experience
by TallTexan ino.k....most people that know me know me to be a rational and logical person not prone to hype or the sensational.
nor am i infatuated with the supernatural as many jw's/ex-jw's are/were.
with that said, let me relate what happened to me at work last night.. on saturday night, we had four bad burns come in.

Wow. Quite the story. How sad for that family. At least you know she went to a better place.
Stories like this make me feel encouraged that there is something beyond death, something beyond the "sleep until resurrection (if you're good enough)" that the JW's teach. How could something like this be a "demon". Please.
