It depends how close one is to their family members. This cult can turn family members against each other no matter how close. The shunned still has the love for his family that they shared earlier. The ones shunning have a cultic plate placed over their feelings . Selfish feelings really. That they will be saved while the shunned family member will be destroyed for leaving their Hobo god. Also the fear of being disfellowshipped if caught hob nobbling with a disfellowshipped family member.

Why do you get upset about family shunning you?
by mr_doubtful ini understand people love their family but i also don't understand why you end up caring in the end.
i'm ready to leave and i 100% don't expecting my family to have any contact with me nor do i want them to contact me.
if they are going to chose a man made religion over me, that's their choice and i will sleep easy at night.

The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?
by careful inas some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.
they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.
1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

JW'S HAVE BEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE THE CHOSEN ONES." "You cannot come to Hobo until he calls you. He chose fishermen who understood his son's teachings but the educated Jew's and Romans could not.
Things of God can only be understood with those whose hearts are open to THE TRUTH TRANSLATED =Hoboisms."
THIS IS THE SPIEL THAT MAKES JW'S FEEL THEY ARE UNIQUE AND ONLY THEY ARE PRIVILEGED TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS OF GOD . AND ONLY THEY ARE CHOSEN TO SEARCH AND CONJOIN OTHERS TI THEIR TRIBE _WHOSE HEARTS ARE PURE TO UNDERSTAND THE WORDS OF THEIR HOBO GOD.
EFFING NARCISSISTS AND SELF AGRANDIZING DOLTS.

Religion...is regarded by the rulers as useful
by flipper inlucius annaeus seneca, roman statesman, 4bc - 65ad: "religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.".
this comes to mind as trump has been throwing the word "god" around.
there are a lot of outwardly religious people in this government.. benjamin franklin: "the way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason.".

7 "Shortly after he was installed as King, Jesus took steps to prepare his followers for the vast work to be done. As we saw in Chapter 2, he did an inspection and a cleansing work from 1914 to early 1919. (Mal. 3:1-4) Then, in 1919, he appointed the faithful slave to take the lead among his followers. (Matt. 24:45) Especially from that time onward, that slave began dispensing spiritual food—by means of convention discourses and printed "

" ...denounce all sorts of religious extremism..."
Are these guys for real. Effing deluded bastards practice a religion that gets most of its fanaticism from desert dwellers who perished more than 4000 years ago, predict fantasies that never materialize, deal in lies ,half truths and fabricated interpretations of a book that is full of contradictions, practice negative reinforcement to keep their slaves in line and have the kahunas to claim they don't practice religious extremism.
Effing disease_brained idiots !

How long did people like Methuselah really live?
by dubstepped ini was working today and my brain was working in circles like it often does and i started wondering about what i was always told about people like methuselah in bible times, and their incredibly claims of longevity.
i've tried researching things but have a hard time getting through all of the bible thumpers to some real evidence, and figured that some here may be more informed or have done the research previously.
so, did people really live longer way back when?

How to reply when someone asks about your spiritual health
by RodrigoGuerreiro infirst of all, sorry if i cannot correctly express the original expression used in my native language to ask for the "spiritual condition".. a few years ago some member of the family asks my wife directly how is her "spiritual health" (for me it's one of the many strange vocabulary used by jw like "the slave says...").
she was catched by surprise with the direct question and says that everything is ok... and luckily someone call them for lunch.. my question is: do you have any good answers for that question?
you can be ironic/use some humor because the question is a little bit anecdotical .

"Our patriotism can never be in doubt."
These bastards do nothing for the poor in that country. They won't fight in wars to defend their country. They won't respect the countries laws if it clashes with their I'll founded cultic doctrines . They won't respect the national flag or show patriotic pride by singing the National Anthem.How the fcuk do they come up with being "patriotic"? Are they trying to brainwash the judicial system of that country too? Hell Indian Judiciary! Wake up to the fact that these are parasites in every country they exist in. Throw their concocted doctrines out of court and let them do follow the laws of the country like everyone else.!!!
