Shunning - I just can't get my head around it
by jambon1 inlet me first state that i have never been shunned.
i faded from the org very quickly & my life hasn't been blighted by this practice.. i have been out of the organisation for over 6 years.

How did you fare in High School as a JW?
by PaintedToeNail infor me it was rather painful.
it was like pressing your nose against the candy store window, knowing that you can look, but you cannot partake.

what would be their first thought???
by Strawberryfieldsforever ini often wonder about the older "old school" jehovah's witnesses that are up in their 70's and they are losing all their friends they have known most of their lives.
they waited together all those years for the big "a" and it still isn't here.
they are still sitting at the meetings, raising their hands to answer on the same old material and waiting for any tidbit of new information about how close they are to that paradise earth.. i wonder what would be their first thought when the doubt begins to seep in and they have nobody to tell it too....... .

Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT break up families
by irondork injehovah's witnesses do not break up families.
members who refuse to become or remain jehovah's witnesses... break up families.. really, you apostates have such a distorted perception of reality.. .

What about the bible?
by Strawberryfieldsforever ini was remembering a conversation i had recently with my mom when she was still talking to me.
i asked her why the jw's keep getting new light on different teachings.
she told me that man is imperfect and needs to be corrected by jehovah time to time to get the teachings right.. well, i started thinking......man was imperfect when he wrote the bible, right?

Could somebody help me with the right words.....
by Strawberryfieldsforever inhello to all of you.... it's been a long time since i've posted here on the board.
life has been going well for my husband and me after leaving the jw's.
after being with them for over 30 years (being raised with them) has been hard for us as we have struggled to become part of the word that they have condemned.
