Patiently waiting for so long
by KW13 inmum and stepdad were watching the news, as i walked in mum cut short what she was saying.. "this could be the shout of peace and secur...".
it frustrates me, whenever there is a conflict or war the witnesses are on the edge of their seat, hoping to see some huge disaster so they can rub their hands in glee and then all be saved and get to live in a paradise as god's chosen ones while everyone else dies a horrible death.. i asked her if she realised that "peace and security" had already been said several times in the past and still no end!!
she said to me that the society teach, that this could either be a long-term shout of peace of security or a statement said and then the end.. so i suppose this gives them an excuse should it fail to happen after a huge announcement of peace of security or a lot of events happen.

No Resurrection For Disfellowshipped?
by ThomasCovenant insorry if this has been covered already.. 1) what is the written policy about disfellowshipped ones having a resurrection?.
2) what if the disfellowshipped one is d'd for apostasy?.
reason i ask is an ex elder who was disfellowshipped for apostasy is very ill and may very likely die soon.

Is This Discrimination ?
by Bstndance inyesterday, i received a notice of an arts grant available for people in urban areas.
in reading the materials it stated (and i'm going to bold the same words the application did): must be a person of color from african, asian, or hispanic heritage.
i was quite offended by this.

I came home to find my wife crying over THAT article.
by jambon1 ini came home today to find my wife crying whilst reading the 'when a loved one leaves jehovah' article.
its been a good few months now and i can appreciate how she feels.
but it just irritates me how my disagreeing with this religion has such a catastrophic effect on our everyday lives.

A video of an Elder saying those disfellowshipped are not shunned...
by Grace in.
...and, under oath and in court, this elder says that the witnesses do not use the word shun and would gladly help out a disfellowshipped person but are not able to discuss spiritual matters.. further, the elder repeatedly says under oath that disfellowshipping is a congregational matter, not a family matter; therefore, families would not be required to shun their disassociated or disfellowshipped loved ones.. excuse me if most of you have seen this already...i stumbled across it on my own.. grace.
i cannot get the link to copy here, but google "witnesses of jehovah video" and you will see about six down there is a link talking about an elder twisting the truth in court.
