If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?

by cofty in

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.

Poztate: Yes I remember that "associate with family members as long as you had no

religious interchange". A sister in the congregation who was married to a

unbelieving mate, her daughter and family moved into the area. Her daughter

was DF, so the sister husband came to me a ask what's the deal. My wife

will not speak to our daughter, she is acting very cold. The daughter was married

and two kids. The sister came to me and ask, what should I do? We are told

to shun DF ones, I'm not sure what to do. I was in my 30's and the sister was

in her 50's. I told her talk to your daughter. This was in the mid 80's..

SimonSays: That judgmental thing again. Please give me a break. Of all

people there is not one JW that is in the position to judge someone, all the

blood on their hands, and the lying. I have become a much better person

now then when I was a JW...

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 was DF. At that time I realized it wash't the truth and no way was I

going back, (1987)... My family members are insane door knockers.

Their shunning has turn to hate over the years.

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

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?.

James Mixon

Hi, guess what I can talk to you now, New Light. What have you being

doing for last 28 years?? Kiss my rear and then I will politely hang up

the phone. Hell I'm ok not talking to you for the next 28 years baby brother.

"I cant wait to meet Abraham!"

by stuckinarut2 in

"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?.

James Mixon

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.

Questions about the Flood for Brother Jeramy

by cappytan in

how long did the flood last?how long can land vegetation survive submerged in seawater?how long can freshwater fish survive in saltwater?how old is human civilization?

what is the oldest settlement in south america?

how did those people get there from the middle east after the flood wiped out everything on the earth?.

James Mixon

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...
