Logically, the DA'd should not be shunned!
by metatron inif the bible sez that shunning applies to "anyone called a brother" who engages in serious sin,.
then logically, if a person made clear to everyone - congregation, neighbors and community - that he is.
not one of jw's, no shunning would apply - over and above any 'worldly person'.. likewise, it would not apply to any df'd person either - if they made clear they are no longer a jw in any way.. of course, such logic cannot be grasped by the watchtower - who would voluntarily submit to their dominance.

Help - how to reason from 'best out there'?
by Xander inokay, another discussion with the brother.
he did mention i was a bad influence, but, feh, he still talks and listens a little, so i'm not too worried.. i've got him whittled down to - "if nothing else, at least this org tries to follow the bible the closest, every other religion has serious flaws.".
this is kind of a hard one to beat, as, in the end, what the society says is generally quite good and positive.

Looking Back
by forgetmenot ini recently found a picture of myself on the internet from three years ago.
what's interesting is that now i think i look great and would love to be back playing tennis and running cross country.
the only thing is that i can do that now...for heavens sakes...it was only three years ago!

JW or Catholic scandal worse?
by JH indo you think that the pedophile problem in the watchtower organization is just as important as in the catholic church?
if we knew the statistics, and found out that there were a lot fewer pedophiles in the watchtower org.
than in other religions, would this be a victory on their part?
