  Changes to the Shunning Practice ? We have just been spoken to !

  by twinkletoes in

  we went to lunch at our local cafe on saturday, and there were two families - still jws, also dining there, (in different parts of the cafe).

  we expected the usual shunning treatment, but surprisingly they initiated the "hellos and how are you" and seemed genuinely pleased to see us (we have been out of the org for over 3 yrs now and we are always shunned whenever we see former jw friends) it was such a surprise to us and we couldn't help wondering if the governing body have issued "new light" on the treatment of disassociated ones.

  especially as these two families have completely avoided us for a long time, even though we personally wrote to them to explain our reasons for leaving (un involvement etc+) .

  GB, yeah, swift the blame, like the 1975 hype. The org hasn't changed it's style.

  Do you follow you own advice?

  by Golf in

  people are so free about giving advice.

  my question is, do you follow your own advice?

  i have often quoted this scripture, "...do you, however, the one teaching someone else, not teach yourself?

  In case someone miss understands, when my kids became of age I never gave them advice, rather commands again, I didn't have to.
  
  My wife gave me grey hair!!!!! When I give her advice she tells me to go and shove it!!!! (Pun intended)

  Wombat, the odest of my six family members will 43 this year. When they all became of age, they never 'heard' from me again. They all have their own lives and solve their own problems. I have grey hair but it didn't come from them.

  Howdy Scully. Hey, with that type of occupation one would think they would 'clean up' their act. It shouldn't be difficult and long with so many in the trade.

  Theocratic Warfare Strategy - Lies have long been part of the plan.

  by unclebruce in

  g'day fellow liars,

  considering themselves to occupy the moral high ground, many jehovah's witnesses are blissfully unaware that the watchtower bible and tract society encourages them to lie.

  many would run screaming apostate lies!

  Is there a God/supreme being/ or what?!

  ok, so i was raised luthren, my dad was cathlioc and then i went dub for 5 years and since have been completely turned off religion.

  the dub experience combined with world events and my personal ones have pretty much pushed all thoughts of a "almighty" out of my mind.

  of course there are times that i think of religion or get into a "2am religion talk" and i wonder wtf is really going on.

  Parlour Tricks of the Mind

  by LittleToe in

  2. beliefs

  i offer you a few recent musings, to consider.

  i'm not trying to make statements of facts or argue for a set of beliefs, or anything of the sort.

  i guess i'd just really like to discuss the subject of the mind without getting entrenched positions on the various subjects surrounding it.
