Because as a parent, there is never a reason to shun your child. Yet, they have normalised it and even painted it as 'loving'.

A conversation with my dad
by magotan ini talked to my dad today, after i text him when i was angry after a night out.
i'm starting to get closure on my parents relationship with regards to me.the dynamic between them versus me is abusive.
my dad didn't think i had any reason to be bitter.he said i chose to leave "jehovahs people" and this is what i should expect as treatment.

Tell your dad that around 99.9% of parents the world over would rather saw off a limb than shin their children.
No matter how you word it, your dad is displaying a 'love' that isn't true parental love. His mind is so far removed from reality that he actually believes that it's the right thing to do when the entire rest of humanity thinks it abusive, barbaric and belonging to the Middle Ages.
I've often wondered how people put this situation to others who aren't witnesses. If I knew someone who carried out shunning toward their child I'd lose all respect for them.
Strange, strange behaviour.

JW's Funerals, Forget About The Person! Let's Preach.
by new boy ingod forbid you would talk about the dead person at his funeral.
so what do most people get after living 70-80 years?.
a 5-10 minutes eulogy.

Truly the worst funerals I've ever been to.
Borderline offensive and completely without feeling.
I go to hear the person eulogised, not to hear about their beliefs or those of others.
Appalling.

I might add that this is a great link to some of the most challenging questions and their response.

Firstly, can anyone link the thread about it on here? I can't seem to use the search facility. Thank you.

I don't know how I managed to miss this lately.
What a slippery, slithery bunch of lying creeps all those elders are. Summed up by the haughty, dismissive and utterly detestable Jeffrey Jackson of the governing body who couldn't even be bothered to look at the statements of the victims in advance of the interview!
To see them questioned like that was absolutely fantastic viewing. I can only imagine that it was deeply uncomfortable for them. They'd better get used to it though as there'll be more questions to answer on all fronts in the future.
Hideous, untrustworthy weirdos. I'm so glad I've got my kids completely free from their influence.
Vile.

The disappointed look on a Jehovah's Witness face - that you're living a good and fulfilling life
by jambon1 inanother thread got me thinking of this issue.
i don't think you'll ever come across a set of people with such a skewed and twisted outlook on life.. my memory serves me well when i recall a sort of blood lusting excitement over things like the 9/11 atrocities.
in fact i remember jw's describing the event as 'sad but exciting.

I'll say it again just for emphasis;
9/11 - "sad, but exciting"
Exciting.
😞
'Mentally diseased' is how I'd describe that particular viewpoint of a disaster that claimed thousands of lives and affected thousands more.
Weirdos.

I don't think I've ever met a set of people who thrive on bad news. Earthquakes, terrorism, wars, etc. Never will you come across such strange and quite frankly, disturbing glee as these things unfold in news stories.
On a personal level though, it reflects even more badly on them. Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT want to hear that you're doing great in life. Even within the congregations, they were never happier than if someone was going through the mill, sinning or suffering some other problem. It's as if it feeds their persecution complex. As if they NEED bad news. As if it validates their world view.
Over the years I've attended funerals and other JW functions. The look of utter confusion on their faces as you swagger in, confidently and without sorrow. It's as if you are required to play the role of 'lost sheep' on those occasions. All beaten by the 'wicked world' and disconsolate.
In conversation they probe you. Fishing for something, ANYTHING that may affirm to them that your decision to leave the organisation was a bad one.
But what an indictment on a set of people! What a strange way to live your life. A strange outlook. A strange perspective.
The best thing you can do is to live a good, productive life. Believe me, they hear about it. You don't need to go about bragging. Shouting 'I'M HAPPY' from the rooftops. Just live your life. Your productive and happy existence will have them scratching their heads as they look around at how many problems exist in the 'spiritual paradise.'
Be happy.
