  I always take the opportunity to tell people the truth about JWs. It sometimes does come up in conversation, especially when talking about holidays, childhood, etc. They are not the harmless group they would have anyone believe.

  Here's a link to a brief but good, four-minute piece on Jehovah's Witnesses. WDIV in Detroit filmed it. There's a place for comments so please add helpful info. I gave a link to this site and jwfacts.

  are df, da and apostates still shunned?

  are each treated differently?

  i heard a secondhand report that they seemed to have eased up on this practice ...

  It can depend on the congregation. I have a friend whose family is in Florida. She said their belief is that the borg has loosened the teaching based on love. I told her that is not the way it is in most places. That congo is also full of EMTs and, I think, some police officers. I don't know how they get away with doing their own thing.

  i recently heard angelo catanzaro, a rather prominent figure in the organization .. a long-time district overseer and a favorite of knorr's, died recently.

  there was some indication that he and his wife figured out ttatt in their latter years and turned "apostate"... .

  does anyone out there know what happened to them?

  How can anyone get enthused about what amounts to a circuit assembly? I was looking at the Michigan folks going to the Belleville assembly hall. Can't understand why people keep on going.

  Is shunning effective?

  by rebel8 in

  does shunning accomplish its objectives:.

  make the person repent?.

  deter others from committing similar offenses in the future?.

  It made leaving easier for me. If my mom and sisters had kept in touch, kept pleading for me to come to the KH, taken an interest in my children, it would have been much more difficult to leave. Shunning made the break so much easier.

  It appears I'm able to post on your topic, Blondie. I hadn't been here for a few days and had no idea there was a change coming! I really don't like the new site but know change is inevitable so will hopefully get up to speed.

  I don't want to download an app to my browser to read personal messages. Not sure what to do.
