Who were the Sadducees and the Pharisees?? Are there similarities between them and JW's??
by confuzzlediam inlast month, i had the privilege of traveling to jamaica with a study abroad group from my community college.
while there, we went to a place called my father's house in which severely disabled children lived when they had no one else to take care of them.
as part of their day, they hold worship in a small, outdoor meeting place.

watchtower not following 1st and second commandment because they are ostrasizing and shunning fellow humans
by poopie inshunning violates the law of love that is principled love agape.
you can never justify shunning another human made in gods image no human has the god given right to completely shun another human by giving them the silent treatment.
its also a form of bullying which the watchtower condems on its own website.

How do you manage to keep JW friendships after you left the organization?
by Bonsai init seems incredibly difficult.
those who leave the org.
(or fade) no longer have anything in common with jehovah's witnesses, nor do they want to stick around to get radiated by the fear and guilt that saturates every aspect of a witnesses' life.. i've lost all but one of my jw friends quite simply because i can no longer condone the evil things that they condone.
