We have laws, buying a car , home, medicine and etc. to protect the consumer. Why not mandate laws for religious organization and cults, they must spell out before you join what will happen if you leave. This will protect both parties, no way a person can come back and say i wasn't aware I could lose my family. If a contract is put before you before you join, it may make you think this is serious I better read the fine lines.

Disassociation - shunning - can we all lobby Government that it is against freedom of religion?
by stockholm_Syndrome inif jws want to inflict shunning on members who want to remain -- knock yourselves out.
but if someone wants to leave - dont believe in an evil almighty god, bible ...or just dont agree with the rules- they should be free to leave- even after being 'disfellowshipped'.
i think it was pre 1980 that you could disassociate yourself without shunning repercussions.

Jehovah is unjust (outrageous article on slavery in last WT for public)
by Master_Bob inaccording to the last paragraph of the article entitled "escape from slavery—then and now" (wt#2, 2017).
jehovah god felt grieved by the harsh treatment of israelite slaves in egypt; he must feel the same way about similar injustice today.. .
if you call modern slavery "injustice", wasn't the slavery during moses time also "injustice"?

blondie:"because the Law regulated it". I knew a sister who told me she attend the meetings when blacks were told to sit in the back, it was the law. I was shocked , not Jehovah's organization. That when I began to have doubts. They are cherry picking when to abide by the law....

Kingdumb songs, will they someday make the top 25 Religious Hymns???
by James Mixon inamazing grace have been around since 1779, how great thou art 1885,holy holy holy 1826, be thou my vision (ireland) 6th century, all creatures of god and king (italy)1225. so you think one day we will hear a kingdumb song playing over the radio.
you would think surely jehovah want the world to be familiar with his hymns.... maybe they have instructed the rf to only sing their songs in the kh, only for special folks..

If I became a JW and later I found out it's not for me what happen, can we still remain friends. I have heard some terrible stories about shunning family members.

Maybe I need to stop trying to figure out the bible, it's the same with the movie Planet of the Apes 2001 starring Mark Wahlberg (Astronaut)...What happen at the end of the movie when Mark returned too earth, the Apes were in charge....Trying to understand the bible is very frustrating, a book written by people as a joke......

Some folks will stay in an abusive relationship no matter what take place, that's life......I love him or her, he or she will change. Over a hundred years of abuse by the GB, most will stay....

Please folks lets not belittle their understanding on this, I'm curious what they believe. I ask my golf comrade today(very active in his church) and he told me if the Bible says the earth will remain forever it will remain forever....This is serious folks, so if someone speaks up lets be kind..

Despite their false predictions aren't the JWs right? Won't the world eventually end & Paradise come?
by deegee inaren't there christian denominations who do not make false end of the world predictions but who nevertheless believe that the world will eventually end and paradise (whether in heaven or on earth) will come?.
it seems the watchtower was just jumping the gun when they made false end of the world predictions but they are nevertheless the right: the world will eventually end and paradise will come..

They came up with earth paradise before man realize the earth will nor remain forever. The resurrected one "what the hell is this, some paradise Jehovah provided for us".
