Pat Robertson argues against shunning
by laverite init is so sad that the jws continue to shun.
i just don't see that ever changing, it's so heavily entrenched in the organization.
even if the org were to lighten up, so many hardliners would continue hard core shunning.. pat robertson isn't known for being the most liberal christian in the media, but in this video he argues that there's nothing to gain from shunning.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py7_qjmm4r8.

On truth and The Truth™
by laverite ini wanted to share with you all a quote that i came across today by carl sagan.
as so many have found out, the truthtm is in such a tenuous, vulnerable position today because the truthtm simply cannot stand up to the real truth.
the only real hope watchtower corp has against the truth is to rely on cultish practices of information control and shunning.

Please add your comments to this article!
by Too Opinionated inthis is my old congregation, and every year they put this in the paper, and every year i see red.
they still have the ability to upset me greatly.. the general newspaper audience never even realizes that they are considered part of satan's world, too!.

Babylon the Great, the Great Trib, etc.
by laverite inthinking about topics such as babylon the great, the great tribulation and the kinds of things would scare the living bageezus out of me as a child, i took a walk down memory lane.
and let's be very clear here... i was utterly terrified as a child growing up as a jw.
everything terrified me.
