I've got to say that it repulsed me.
Yet, I knew one brother/elder who always commented that he wanted 'to see the wicked being destroyed.'
Twisted beyond belief.

As a Jehovah's Witness, how did you feel about the prospect of god killing millions of babies & children?

Let 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. Most of the things I left the religion for, I have came to terms with. I no longer feel rage & anger about stuff like the blood issue, the inner politics of the congregations, the worship of a god who wants to destroy billions of people, etc, etc. It isn't for me. I disagree with these beliefs/practices, but if people want to believe these things & live their life this way then that is their own business.
What I cannot rationalise at all is how any parent can shun their own flesh & blood. It absolutely disgusts me.
Over the years, I have read experiences & life stories of what it is like to be on the receiving end of shunning. It upsets me to think that young men & women have become suicidal due to feeling excluded & unloved by their own family. Many have sadly succeeded in taking their own lives due to feelings of rejection & exclusion. Others are consumed by anxiety, depression & abject misery. Disgusting!
How can they justify it? How can they possibly believe that this is 'god's will.' How can they believe that it is 'loving?'
JW's who are practicing this should take a good look at themselves.
You are devoid of even the most basic form of humanity.
You are the very people the bible spoke of when it talks about individuals 'having no natural affection.'
Hang your heads in shame.

Wearing the poppy isn't an indication of the wearer 'glorifying war.'
It's a sombre symbol of respect for those young men who tragically went to war (the great war), never to return after sufferring a brutal death.

JW Urban Legend - The Demonised Teddy Bear
by God_Delusion inhowdy guys and girls!.
how many of you have heard the jehovah's witness urban legend about the demonised teddy bear?.
if you're from north london and were a witness during the late eighties and early nineties, there's a good chance you would have heard it.. i was lucky enough to have played a part in the actual account!.

The two brothers who went to the door of a sadistic murderer. He spoke with the witnesses and never harmed them.
Asked later (by whom?) why he never harmed the witnesses, he replied that it was because of the giant man standing behind them (an angelic protector).
Witnesses round my gaff were all over this tale like a tramp with a bag of chips.
It does beg the question though why no such angelic protector(s) was around during the time of the holocaust. I believe many witnesses were shot or beheaded.
A tad selective of who he protects this Jehovah chap.
EDIT - There was also a story about a demon possesed smurf who walked up the ailse of a kingdom hall.
Absolutely off their heads those witnesses.

Another poor child may die because of the GB's misuse of the scriptures
by puffthedragon inhttp://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/parents-deny-daughter-life-saving-transplant-4969178.
so sad.
of course at jwtalk, their argument is, "she might still die even if she got blood".

They don't baptize their babies but they're willing to make life and death decisions on their behalf.
Dreadful.

Help for a father of two young JW's
by never a jw ini have never been a jw, but my wife, two brothers and their wives and children are.
also, most of my wife's brothers and sisters are jw's.
since i have a close relationship with both my family and my wife's family you can deduce that most of my friends and associations are with jw's.

Whatever you do, don't over react or use hostile language. They'll run straight into 'mothers' arms.

The reason I just can't believe in god
by jambon1 infor the first time in ages though, i actually re-evaluated my position on god/wt.. i had attended a few funerals in the spring and had also reignited some friendships with people from the hall.
but actually, i just keep going round in circles in my mind.
i cannot back an organisation with such a flawed past and one that endorses such policies as shunning & blood.

I realise that there are millions of different forms of suffering.
It's just that the holocaust research really turned my head as a younger person.
There is no justification for the extent of suffering in the world. None.
