  Do you think any of the following experiences are true? They are so far fetched they are almost humorous.

  TITLE: Let's all make it to the Finish Line...[sr from Patterson] Bro. Sherman Butts.]

  Persecution - from the=2 governments, from our families, from the
  economy, etc.
  
  * Example of two young brothers who were beaten and pressured to pray
  (in school). The young boy refused and told the headmaster, that he
  could not be a Witness at home, but then be someone else at school.
  Another brother was tortured and vomited blood for 90days, but he kept
  his integrity and prayed that the other brothers being held would not
  surrender, but stay loyal.
  
  * One sister battled cancer for 17 years but never quit going to
  meetings. Another young brother faces pressure from young ladies
  everyday to commit immorality - but he remains clean. Another couple
  used to be loved by their family and friends when they were in the
  world, but once they learned the truth - they were shunned.

  "Another couple

  It all sounds bogus but the above takes the cake....talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

  If there is any truth to this one it is only because he is gay!

  People don't shun family members or friends who are JWs... But new JWs or JWs who renew their JWness shun people by refusing to do anything with them and then continually throw their enlightended JWness in their face that they're worldly unbelievers. But they're trained that people are doing it because they are evil and have demons in them, which is why they are shunning them. But its circular and ends up "justifying" to them that what they are told by the WT and elders is "true."

  Another BS experience I heard at a meeting from a visiting speaker. I think it was in Africa. A young man living with his parents accepts "Bible truth" and his parents throw him out of the house. He has no way of support, but decides to pioneer. He doesn't have anything to eat for an entire week. Soon he is invited to serve in a local branch home. He feels guilty about having three meals a day, so decides voluntarily to only eat one meal a day.

  hmm, they don't seem to mention the many jw's who were thrown to the curb by their jw families for not believing wt nonsense and worldly people or churches took them in.

  Forgot to say the worldly family was probably not 'shunning' the newbie jw's but rather they told the family they didn't want to come for holiday dinners anymore and the family honored their request.

  well since a JW said them they cant be lies, so i guess they are for illustrative purposes only ...
