i am new to this forum - it is only a couple of weeks since i have allowed myself to acknowledge and research my doubts.
i am trying to be fair by reading both sides of the story and considering jw official explanation of confusing matters.
one of the issues i have been looking at is shunning - and i was shocked to see the misleading information about shunning on the jw.org website: .
You may hear people making this statement "they are just some disgruntle
ex members". But you will never hear this said about ex- JW members. What
you will hear, that org.break up families. That is the first thing that come out
someone mouth when they have a JW in their family, they may say my sister
became A JW and doesn't come around anymore. Face it they not only shun
ex members but also those that refused to except their truth. CULT.

"wouldn't you do whatever was necessary to protect your child".
OK son listen carefully to my words "It is more dangerous to look directly
into the sun then playing with fire.
i was having a discussion with my sister yesterday, and she said to me,'mom told me that if dad dies at armageddon, she cant get remarried in the new system' .
i told he i have never heard such a thing, but i do recall that it was believed that anyone who dies now, cannot be married in the 'new world' because they are to be as angels in heaven.. she said , so why be resurrected if yiu cant live your dream of having a loving mate and perfect children?
god is still dictating to you how you will live.
Not only did you remarried but waited a whole year, and to brother
A-hole. Hell I was still warm. I talked to that brother about how I couldn't
keep up with you in the bed room. I want my wife back!!!!
Sorry you will have to walk around for at least 1000 years before
you can marry and no funny stuff with the single sisters.
If this is paradise send me back to my grave, this is BS...

John Aquila: Yes that was the case. That is one thing that was good in the borg.,
always have another brother or your wife with you when talking to sisters about
this matter. That was the number one reason why elders were DF.

nicolaou: I was thinking the same "audio recording". Send it to 60 minutes as
a follow up. I still have grandkids in that cult, it just tighten my cheeks and
not the ones on my face. I hate these people....If a statement like that don't
wake people up, nothing will.

I don't recall Satan ever molesting anyone in fact I don't think
he never told a lie maybe a small one but not like the GB, they have
told some whoppers. Don't talk about my man Satan.

As a child in the 1950's in church (Baptist), there was this guy in
Sunday service that would stand up doing service and yell out that's
a lie, that is not what the bible say (he was studying with JW).LOL
I don't know how you held back from yelling, are you bat sh---t crazy.

Some of the angels missed the memorandum, although they didn't get marry in
heaven they came down to earth and married the women. So that
tell me they still had the urge to do a little bumping in the sack.
The whole thing is crazy as hell.
i was surprised to learn many other mainstream christian religions believe in a physical earthly resurrection.
even catholics.
it seems the belief is that as of now one goes to heaven to wait, then in the future will have an earthly resurrection.
I personally have never talked to a believer that believed in a
earthly resurrection except JW's. Most people can't wait to fly
around in heaven, meet their love ones and sing praises all day.
