JW Policy Regarding "Marking" From The Nov 2016 WT

by JW_Rogue in

jws will deny that local needs parts are often just a way to mark those in the congregation who are deemed to be "bad association" or who don't fall in line with the elders viewpoints.

now, for the first time in a long time the wt discusses their marking policy and how it works in the nov study wt:.

recall paul’s counsel regarding disorderly ones in the congregation.

carla

I wish to hell they would start marking and shunning people married to actual ubm's! then our jw's would find out just how 'loving' their so called 'friends' really are. Well, maybe there would be too many to shun?

It drives me mad when my jw refers to his 'friends', I want to tear my hair out and say, 'they are not your friends! friends love you unconditionally, no matter what goofy thing you choose to believe. Your friends are only 'friends' as long as you tow the jw line."....... sorry for the rant, a bit on edge lately.

My JW Sister Called Me Last Night

by pale.emperor in

my sister called me quite out of the blue last night.

she's a full on active jw and actively shunning me like the rest of the family are.

i dont quite know the reason why she felt last night was the right time to call but im glad she did.

carla

You know she counted her time, sigh.... but on a bright note at least she was thinking of you, I guess that's something.

"of all the religions claiming to be christian it's the most far removed from Christianity i've ever seen."-- I liked that part!

Got a sense of humor? Help!

nathan, outlaw.....all of you hilarious people...this means you!

i believe in humor as an effective way to bring attention to an important topic.

humor has made many people aware of the true nuttiness of the jw cult in the past (sign language masturbation video—went viral).. amazon allows humorous reviews and even showcases them.

carla

Can't wait to read more reviews!

Scientology special on A&E tonight with Leah Remini

by nonjwspouse in

i'm not sure where it is airing elsewhere, but on the a&e channel, at 7p then again at 10p est tonight, leah remini is doing a scientology special.

it looks to be a great show.

i am not sure if it is one time, or the beginnings of a series.

carla

I have not seen yet but hope to. Maybe we should ask her to do an expose on jw's when this show is done?

Were you aware of the shunning policy when becoming a JW

by UnshackleTheChains in

for those who became jws, were you fully aware of the societys cruel shunning policy whilst studying?

i absolutely had no idea such a policy existed until years later.

it really only hit home when reading the horrendous stories on the internet around 2002. .

carla

My jw was not aware and did not believe it when he joined up. He insisted it must be a very rare thing meant only for the worse 'sinners'. Now? his mind is so utterly taken over by the borg he uses the company line of 'they made the choice themselves', they choose to be shunned, etc....

makes me sick.

Jehovah God is Real

by TakeOffTheCrown in

there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.

but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.

yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

carla

counting time?

I've been embarrassed so many times!

by stillin in

i was kind of proud to go out in field service, most of the time.

important message, straight from god to their doors, right?.

but if you met with the group and didn't have previous arrangements, you could end up with the village idiot for a companion.

carla

You should ask non jw's their experience with jw's at the door but don't tell them you were a jw and you will get many amusing stories. If they know you were a jw will they will try to be respectful of your previous annoying habit and not tell you some stories. Once they get started!.... everyone has a story, "I had a jw at my door once and you wouldn't believe it!....." " I had a jehovah come to my door and....."
