  by bigmac in

  i'm giving 3 examples of this practice--that i know of personally.. .

  my first wife--born in--divorced me over 30 years ago.

  she totally shuns our son--now 38--d/f'd and now happily married and enjoying life to the max.. my pioneer partner--from the mid 60's-----he totally shuns his daughter---to the point of even ignoring her in the street.. a close friend of mine--in the 60's and 70's-----i was best man at his wedding.

  Silly Girl, give yourself a hug. That's from me.

  It just doesn't make sense. I used to shun an uncle when I was a kid because that is what I was told to do. Honestly, I didn't give any thought to what it might be doing to him or the fact that I and the rest of the family were erasing any hope of ever having a relationship with him later.

  Now I'm the one being shunned and I really think THEY THINK everything will be just dandy again after I get reinstated. Not only will that not happen because I will never go back, even if they were to leave the org. and pursue me...

  Poster with basic math on shunning - for JW parents

  your thoughts on such a poster?.

  (http://religions.pewforum.org/reports says: "jehovah's witnesses have the lowest retention rate of any religious tradition.

  only 37% of all those who say they were raised as jehovah's witnesses still identify themselves as jehovah's witnesses.").

  Jehovah’s Witnesses in USA - prefer a bigger government providing more services and involved in regulating morality.

  jehovahs witnesses in usa - prefer a bigger government providing more services and involved in regulating morality .. interesting that jehovahs witnesses who don't vote, even got on this graph.. " what are the political positions of religions and churches in america?.

  this new graph maps the ideologies of 44 different religious groups using data comes from pews religious landscape survey.. this survey included 32,000 respondents.

  it asked very specific questions on religion that allow us to find out the precise denomination, church, or religion of each person.. .

  a watcher: What JW's most prefer is that the government keep the peace "in order that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with full godly devotion and seriousness."

  I find your statement disingenuous and further proof that JWs want a bunch of crap but are unwilling to lift a finger to get it.

  You cite 1 Timothy 2:1,2: " First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life..."

  I was a JW for many years and I never once heard a prayer or intercession from a single JW on behalf of a king or president. I guess even in that regard it's better to mooch off the efforts of others.

  Obviously all those helping people ARE already JWs. Nobody else on the planet would show such qualities.

  "Evidently."

  Helping stranded motorists, fallen old men, and walking old ladies across the street is no way to make God happy. Advertising a website... now THAT puts a smile on God's face and you will be rewaded with eternal life and dead men's mansions.

  a friend of mine is trying the 'slow fade' like i did.

  he is a third generation witness and comes from a prominent family in his circuit.

  his uncle stepped down as an elder because he had doubts and could not serve anymore (although for now he remains a witness in good standing).

  Bets are being taken: Westboro will find some logistical reason for backing out.

  Those cowards hide behind the laws of this land. Nothing to hide behind over there. They won't go.
