the TRUTH about DISFELLOWSHIPPING and SHUNNING from JESUS view
by Terry inloving and forgiving are a huge component of jesus' message to his disciples.. in answer to the question as to how many times forgiveness should be offered to an offender, jesus gave the reply, "seventy (times) seven.
" (variously interpreted as either 77 times or a multiple of 70 times 7).. an example is given of a man who owed a considerable sum of money whose debt was forgiven.
this man failed to forgive a much smaller debt owed to him.

Sister getting baptized.....
by searchingforfriends inmy little sister just called to inform me the she has completed her baptism questions and is scheduled to get dunked in a few months.

I tore up my Blood Card yesterday
by Awakened at Gilead inas you may know from my previous posts, i am fairly new to being an xjw, having taken may decision about 3 weeks ago.
during this time i have read the information about blood on jwfacts and in isofcf, for example,.... so yesterday, much to my wife's chagrin, i tore up my blood card in front of her.. i wanted to drive home a point... she will be needing surgery soon, and has told me that she does not want blood.
i wanted to demonstrate to her that i no longer agree with the blood policy.... and i even went so far as to check about donating blood.

Your JW Relatives Have 2 Personalities - Cult & Authentic- See the Change
by flipper inin steve hassan's book, " combatting cult mind control" - one of the points that assisted me the most is understanding that all cult members have a " cult " personality which turns on when defending their faith, and they have an authentic, non - cult personality they were born with- the personality they had before being programmed by the jehovah's witnesses or any other " cult".
how is this dual cult/ authentic personality manifest ?
hassan mentions in his book that, " one moment the person is speaking cultic jargon with a hostile or elitist know-it-all attitude .
