  Do You Believe In ANYTHING That The Witnesses Taught At This Point In Your Life?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  for example, they pride themselves in what they don't believe such as immortal souls, the trinity, hellfire, etc.. some exjws still believe it is the "truth" and support the basics.. .

  The more they talk about us the more impact we must be having on them. IMHO

  In All Honesty Would You Have NOT Given Blood To Your Child If He or She Needed it?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a "faithful witness", i never had to deal with this on a personal level.

  i imagine the pressure must be extreme with the elders and others "supporting" you to do the right thing.. do you think you would have given blood to your family member, especially your child if you were in that situation..

  I am ashamed to say I would have watched my child die rather than make Jehovah sad.

  Apostates are blown out of the water by an elder's response to my e-mail

  by never a jw in

  the following are two emails (one mine, one from an elder) that are part of an exchange regarding the unfairness of shunning.

  he is an elder and a substitute of the c.o.

  he comes from a "highly decorated" family of jw's.

  Others have stopped caring about the public in general and no longer witness about God's truths as they used to before.

  Caring about the public in general is not allowed unless it is in the form of offering magazines.

  Anything more and you are likely to get counselled by an elder!!!

  slamming the door on jehovah's witnesses.

  she is an apostate, which sounds like a strange disease, and in many ways it is.

  Is this desperation?

  A quote lifted from another thread

  A spokesman for the church in Australia, Sydney solicitor Vincent Toole, dismissed the allegations and said shunning was a"myth." Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html#ixzz2NbJ83

  JWs Lack of Love and Feelings

  by jemba in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have noticed the extreme lack of love in this group of people who preach love, love, love.. we recently had serious floods come through our area and the jws couldnt have cared less.

  our 'worldly' friends did sooo much for us though.

  raising money, giving gifts, cards, accomodation and so much support and hard work.. i personally think jws are one of the most insensitive, uncaring religions around.. three religious groups were absolutely wonderful during the flooding of our area.
