  If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  imagine 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.

  The only reason my family is fanatical shunners is because they

  believe I put a end to my other family members becoming JW's

  There is a shunning to a certain extent toward family members that are not

  JW's. I have a niece and a nephew that live one block apart, they grew up

  together. The niece and her family JW, my nephew and his family non-JW.

  They have lived in the same neighborhood for over 15-20 years. She have

  never set foot in his house, he said he have only seen her a few times

  over the years in passing. So they feel they are being shunned also.

  I'm sorry but this subject just chap my rear.

  When my ex-JW wife and her JW husband is in town they stay with

  my baby brother an JW elder. My non-JW family do not understand,

  how the hell can he(my brother) justify that kind of love they ask.

  We have been divorce for over 20 years so for over 20 they have stayed

  numerous times with my brother and his wife, me it's been over 20 years

  since I was invited into his home.

  You talking about breaking up families, that cult has devastated our family.

  If they stop the shunning I don't think it will make a difference in my family.

  The damage is done.

  I have had JW family members come to my home when I was still

  married to my JW wife come to my door and not acknowledge me,

  just walk right pass me as if I was invisible. My wife tell me dear would you

  mind excusing yourself and go to the bedroom.

  I have come to the aid of my sister when her car broke down, took her

  home but I couldn't set foot into her home. That same sister left instructions

  before she died, for me not to visit her.

  My oldest daughter (20 years since I've seen her) at one time lived a few blocks

  from me, she told me Dad you are not welcome in my home. Other family

  members that I have seen over the years, look the other way.

  Hell I'm not a glutton for punishment, 28 years of this craziness

  I don't have that kind of forgiveness.

  My niece speaking to her seven year old daughter, mother who was that

  man you smile at. Oh that's your uncle.(d) My uncle, where does he live?

  (N) here in town, he's a bad man.

  But if I went back all would be fine.LOL

  Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i 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?.

  "I cant wait to meet Abraham!"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "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?.

  What kind of relationship did Abraham and his son have after that ordeal.

  If my father decided to cut my throat I would definitely sleep with one

  eye open. Who to say he may hear another voice, "ok for real this time".

  I'm sure their relationship was very tense. Dad what are you going

  to do with that knife , carve that steak or take a swing at my throat.

  I can't take this sh--t any more, I'm a nervous wreck. I don't know

  if you are a psychopath or your God. Anyway I moving far from here.

  WHY do people still believe in the Bible. From the opening book

  to the last, story after story just falls apart.LOL

  If the Bible is all true, Lucifer is doing a hell of a job in screwing with

  our minds, God can not blame us you created him.

  nelim : That 's funny.

  Here's a thought. Would it had been a lot simpler for God to tell

  Noah, gather all the animals at the top of the mountain and

  your family, I will bring rain for 40 days until it reach about 50 feet

  from the top. That way all will be safe and you have vegetation plus

  it not necessary to cover all the mountain top.

  No need to spend years a building a boat, more time to preach...

  What kind of anchor did Noah use to remain in the same area after a

  massive flood? People have been stranded in the ocean for a few days

  and have drifted for miles and no rain from above and below. Noah remained

  within a few miles from his home. If he had stepped off the boat in North America

  OK maybe, but the earth was very small for Noah.

  Paradise is going to suck!

  by WasOnceBlind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  once you really start thinking about it, the whole paradise idea is kind of depressing.

  i remember growing up as kids my sister was the first to tell my parents (admittedly very courageously) that she wasn't sure she wanted to live in paradise, it sounded boring living forever.

  i thought she was dumb for thinking that, i mean playing with lions!!!!

  How will you stay in contact with brothers around the globe, if you break

  a leg while working in the fields or maybe no one will break anything in paradise.

  How about toilet paper (Adam and Eve leaves), no thank you.

  No electricity for music, singing kingdom songs will get old.

  Taking a road trip, it will be a road trip alright 40 years from NY to California.

  After the mansion (Jw have claimed) have fall into despair due

  to like of material to repair, then what? Not all can build a log cabin, but

  I guess if you live forever you have time to get it right.

  And who will not miss the varieties of eating establishment and where

  will I buy my tools.

  I bet you if it was possible to communicate with someone that lived 200 years ago

  and ask him or her, which time period would you prefer to live. Hell those good old days

  was not that great.
