Krejames..... your post was a lovely reminder that, this behsviour is repeated in all congregations in all countries....WORLDWIDE. Anyway, the way i look at it is if i get shunned, and if it hurts me...well i still got this place and people like you to share it with.

Yes, I see you shunning me!
by Blackbird Fly ineven tho i grew up in the org, so much that once seemed normal behavior now seems so bizarre and even cruel.
i have run into at least 3 people from our old cong since the memorial (i didnt attend) anyhow i have noticed how each time they go out of their way to say hello and flash me a big bright smile, only to immediately avert their eyes and end any possible commitment to a conversation.
i dont really care as i dont have anything to say to them anyhow.

Lalika...a violent reaction can simply be looking someone in the eye. It can sometimes make them see themselfs....

How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??
by jam init's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.
"cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.
"lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

cofty,to quote the W.T. on the Trinity." ...beyound humun comprehension and understanding...." and so is the eternal torture of others, but that is also beyound " our comprehension and understanding".
My point is truth is no longer terrible to me, but and the W.T were right about this. Its beyound my comprehension and understanding. So anything is possible....

Galaxie...i look out my kitchen window, its spring and its so beautiful. Is it not conceivable that i could under different circumstances be looking out my window upon a literal " hellfire" ?
And i am not talking about God? ....anyway its spring and i couldnt wish for more....

Lalka..i mean language only existed when we invented it, as with money, and as with the hellfire doctrine. So money and languge only exist in our minds. If i wrote in Swedish ( my 2nd language) you wouldnt understand? As for money well it only exists by the value we give it. The Americans turned Gold to money but to Indians it was simply yellow dust ...many American prospectors gave there lifes for " Yellow Dust" . And many American soilders wiped out the Indian for " Yellow Dust".
Sorry its hard to explain, but i mean if somebody belives something and people give that believe value, it exists, even if it doesnt really exist. As ex jehovets witnesses we must understand that?

Datadog...maybe its geographical, but ive had some great non J.W conversations with congregation members. Just small talk rumblings about ...oh just pleasent conversation. Maybe my Swedish geographical location is more of a big village where people are still a family....( mind you there are some dangerouse fanatics in that congregation).
Funny how American Religion and the J.Ws and Mormons are everywhere...least most places ive travelled they are there.
