  Speaking of Shunning

  by North Girl in

  for those who don't know me i've never been jw but am interesting in understanding.

  anyways, i was wondering when you were a practicing jw and you had to shun people, deep down how did you feel?

  did you feel right in doing so or did you always know that it wasn't right?

  The day a brother died in my Hall, & the unbelievable events that followed.

  this one really freaked me out.

  i was so brainwashed at the time i found a way to justify it.

  i think i?ve been repressing my anger about this and now i need to vent.

  I'm a bit of a perfectionist .. not of other people but of myself. Sometimes a bit on my kids (I'm really working on fixing that)

  how long can you be a practicing witness before you are expected to be baptised?

  what changes once you are baptised?

  what do you have to do to become baptised?

  So as long as you are not baptised it is okay to make mistakes?.. as long as you ask forgiveness, or show remorse???

  1) what is meant by saying not dressed like a JW.. is there a specific code?

  2) are only men allowed to rise in position in the Hall?

  3) Are young marriages encouraged?

  4) are you allowed to associate (as friends or date) non JW's?

  5) are kids discouraged from after school activities and if so why?

  6) are the woman discouraged from working? Most I have met are not employed. just a note that I've noticed that the ones I have met are great with make up and hair (just an observation)

  7) can anyone attend a convention

  Thats all for now.. thanks
