  Slideshows at the Meetings

  does anyone remember the great relief when we would have a slideshow from some travelling goon at the meetings?

  i always enjoyed this since it was way more interesting than finding scriptures in the bible.

  as time progressed, they seemed to quit doing this.

  Ahhhh! Let the shunning begin...

  well, the official announcement hasn't been made yet, and already the shunning has started.. what a surprise.

  my wife cuts the 'friends' hair at our house.

  last night someone was going to come over but asked if my wife would go to their house instead because it bothered their conscinece coming to our house with me there.. i told my wife that since the announcement wasn't made yet, that this person was being presumptuous for going ahead of the organization and shunning me.

  Yeah, the news that some will continue to talk to you is great. I don't really have anyone feeling that way and I haven't even written an official letter of DAing. I only said to few of my closest old JW friends and family that I was stopping JW activities and being one. I've done nothing official and already they have nothing to do with me. After only negative reactions, I figured forget this, I'm not telling anyone else, I just quit doing anything with any JW. It's easier to just let go on my terms than being shunned by multitudes.

  I envy your guts on sending in the letter. I'm seriously considering writing one myself. I'm just so tired of the whole thing and I am tired of my hair falling out from the stress of it all.

  life has been a whirlwind this year!

  i just wanted to say hello to those of you that remember me, and to let you know that while i don't say so often, many of you have given me strength when needed.

  Thinking of becoming a JW - Need urgent honest advice!!!

  i have met a wonderful man but unfortunately he is a jw.

  i have never been interested or really ever been around any religion in my life so all of this right now is very fascinating to me.

  i have been thinking of studying to become one but am also having a hard time finding anything on the net that is positive about it.

  If you have read any of the posts on this discussion board here natalienu, you would see that it is a minority (if not nearly non existant) on this site to believe in the JWs. Most of us have been scarred, shunned, tormented by this religion. And becoming a JW is not like joining a book club and if you get bored with it, you can quit without repurcussions....

  If you get baptised and later want to leave, you will be shunned and treated lower than scum by the members...

  but if you stay in, your life will never be your own. Your whole life will be dictated by this religion.

  Well, the official announcement hasn't been made yet, and already the shunning has started.

  another case in point, how do people know, (SISTERS KNOW) who are not part of the body of elders so they would have to be informed, know about information that has not been publicly announced yet (let alone told you personally)

  see it is ok to disobey the rules by sharing confidential information..... but they must be strict in obeying rules about shunning..

  this religion is so hypocritical. It blows me away that i didn't see it sooner.

  I hope this doesn't get worse, but, I suppose it will when it is finally announced.
