  If shunning were no longer a JW policy, how many would leave the Org?

  by HiddenPimo in

  2. beliefs

  additionally - if this shunning rule was removed and everyone was made aware of the dirty secrets of the org.. (e.g.

  csa-arc / un membership / malawi - mexico contrast / etc.).

  would those leaving be higher?.

  For those that stay it would most likely divide the congregations into two groups. The so called super strong ones and the so called weak ones. Then it would turn into another kind of Cult. One that not only hates those in the world but also hates one another in the congregation.
  

  In my experience, it's pretty much already like this.

  I've never been under any kind of restrictions (apart from leaving the MS/pioneer 'privileges'), but I'm 90% ignored (unless someone needs smth. from me) by my congo which I still regularly attend for family reasons.

  Dmitry,

  Wouldn't it be better to find some sane diplomats that can actually negotiate and compromise for everyone's benefit?

  Wouldn't it be better for Poland in 1939 to find some sane diplomats to negotiate with Hitler and Stalin for everyone's benefit?

  @Dmitry - Welcome! You're not the only non-English speaker here. IMHO, the atmosphere here is way better than on FSB/KGB controlled Russian forums :)

  I don't know if the people featured as CSA survivors in "Leaving Neverland." tell the truth, but I hardly understand what's the purpose of coming our with accusations for a person who is 10 years dead already. Are they afraid he can molest children from the grave? Or is it that they just wanna get some money from his legacy?

  Pursuing the dead in court sounds like a really weird idea to me. Almost as weird as the idea of creating a world-famous child amusement park at your own house (knowing you're being constantly watched by hundreds of journalists' cameras) to 'secretly' seduce children there (while at the same time caring about countless poor/sick children needs worldwide). Something doesn't add up here, IMHO.

  Given the amount of money MJ possessed, he could afford getting children to molest in a much cheaper/easier way.

  We really live in the sick world if people cannot even imagine a person genuinely loving children without a sexual context (no matter if MJ accusations are valid).

  @gone for good

  The picture I've posted here is just an illustration of what actually poses a real threat - a government propaganda of hatred towards other nations, countries, and even civilizations.

  And no, I don't believe countries should not have armies and some kind of army ads (at least not in the world we live in now) - but what's happening in Russia and the territories under Russian occupation (like Crimea) is far beyond what is normal. I know what I'm talking about (and you can google it if you'd like to). Military trainings/events at kindergarten/primary school is not a standalone practice - it's just a small part of the whole modern-day Russia's war-mongering, hate-possessed culture, society, media, etc. So, there's great chance (I'd say 100%) that some of those children will become murderers, and terrorists (optionally wearing army uniform).

  JW indoctrination/harsh practices can definitely trigger/worsen some mentally illness - but it's next to nothing when compared to what Russian gov't/media purposely do to kids' minds.

  The blame for the tragedy in Kerch is solely on Russia that occupied Crimea and has been feeding its inhabitants (including children) with hatred propaganda since then.

  And you sound quite hypocritical in saying 'No politics', and then glorifying/justifying Russian policy/laws against Jdubs, aren't you, #Pit123123?

  I'd rather say, children in modern Russia are potential terrorists - since the government indoctrinates them with hatred and war propaganda shortly after they're born to this world.

  Fakes/propaganda really happen on 'all sides' - the only difference is that on the Russian gov't side it's a standard practice (close to 99% of lies), multiplied by a sky-rocket level of cynisicm and malice.

  Will the Russian brothers start to wake up?

  by nowwhat? in

  if i was a russian brother i would be wondering what exactly is the gb doing to help us out.

  they are sitting in their lakeside corporate country club doing nothing while outside worldly agencies are making known our plight.

  i found it puzzling that they flew out of russia like a bat out of hell as soon as the court rendered its decision leaving us high and dry.

  One of the problem with Russian JWs waking-up process is a pretty toxic environment amongst Russian-speaking ex-JW community. Many of ex-JWs went on to co-operate with FSB (ex-KGB), and its religious department under the banner of 'Russian Orthodox Church'. The largest Russian-speaking ex-JW online forum is also controlled by quite suspicious personalities.

  I'd say the problem of Russian 'apostates' is similar to that of the Borg's - they're the worst enemies of themselves.
