Shunning
by Axeman inmost of us here accept that we were indoctrinated as jw's on a very personal level ie: how we should dress acceptable jobs association with socalled worldly people even your own flesh and blood.
a divisive them us mentality them bad us good so having been there i cut my ex wife and sisters a lot of slack telling myself that they are not really responsible for their actions re treating me as if i were dead .
those of us who have experienced this know from their experience how cruel and inhuman this policy is yet the relatives claim the victim status saying that they would not have to do this if you had not left and they are hurting.

JWdom "limbo"
by Gayle ini realize how many people are sent to "limbo" of sorts by the wts.
how many jws quit going, inactive, no meetings for "years," wasn't happy with it but are still "stuck" somewhere in between, not active jws, feeling condemned by the organization yet still don't stretch themselves to "read" anything to investigate why the organization didn't work for them.
my brother got a call from an inactive jw, who hasn't gone in years & not in the association of anyone anyway, not happy with jwdom.

Looking For A New Church
by lehighjoe inbeing raised as a jw is a double edged sword.
on one hand, you get a phenominal boot-camp education on the bible, what it means, how to use it in your life (even long after leaving the society).
on the other hand, it makes looking for a new home-church a bit of a challenge.

The best WT elders are
by Axeman ini know some elders want to be real shepherds in the biblical sense and are constantly challenged by wt directions that are cold unloving & self serving and many leave because of this.
such an elder who has his own conscience and is troubled by it does not make the best wt elder.
im looking to name the characteristics that make the best wt elders.

Does eating a rare steak = eating blood?
by neverendingjourney ini always wondered about this when i was still a jw.
i just assumed that it was improper for a jw to eat any meat that wasn't thoroughly cooked, especially steak.
i though everyone could see that the red juice contained blood, which, if eaten, amounted to a violation of the prohibition against eating blood.
