  What happened to shunning ?

  okay, so...i haven't been to the kingdumb hall since last spring but i like to believe i'm up to date with the jw ways.

  as most of you have heard many times already, my mother was disfellowshipped (actually they said he disassociated), for accepting blood transfusions in a life or death situation.

  right after coming from the hospital the elder said she da'd.

  Interesting! I know in my area there is a new CO.....he's in his early/mid 30's! I'm sure the old "seasoned" elders love that. It feels to me that the shift to younger is to try to retain the youth. With technology and easy access to information....the halls are losing the young!

  New Watchtower Propaganda and hate speech destroying families (Feb 2016 WT)

  by Daniel1555 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".

  7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

  for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

  Wonder if there is a change to the "elder" book coming? Currently it spells out that committees can be formed for association with non family members that are df'd. It's sad......my family has been ripped apart too......

  a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

  An Elder...very close to me...said the same exact thing. In fact he went further and said that he believes all genuinely good hearted people would be saved.

  That was one of MANY eye openers for me......

  I really don't fault anyone for going back. Most do it solely because it's all they know or knew. You will not see "converts" to the JW's leave and go back, only ones born in, or parents that converted while the kids were young. When it's all you know......the real world could be scary! Remember what we told about the world, SBF even said it, there is NOTHING outside of the "truth". When you are controled by a cult, escape can at best be scary, at worst impossible. For example, when a man is in prison for decades and released, how many of them re-offend, ON PURPOSE, just for the reason of going back to the only life they know, behind bars? There is no difference. I wish him well and hopes he finds the peace he's looking for.

  just answer this question in an honest and unbiased way, free from any circuitous reasoning or speculation.

  if you do so, i swear to my heavenly father, that i will call the elders tonight and turn myself in.

  any active jw may answer this question.

  Remember..........they are master manipulators. For example, like I said in a post last-night......if Catholics have a change in policy or beliefs, it's PROOF they don't have God's backing.....FALSE PROPHETS!! The "Society" has a change in policy or beliefs, it's proof they DO have God's backing....Nu Light!!! Then the fall back is, we don't have God's full "truth", we are still learning and we are the ONLY ones that are.........the light gets brighter. They really do all the bases covered.
