i am been shunned by the rest of the jw family, and feel that to make a point when my dad dies my family( ex jw ) will not be going to the service at the kingdom hell.

we need to get our own back on these morons in the family and see how they like been shunned for not going to weddings and receptions in the family sod them all.. .

h.h.g .

In life never stoop to anothers lower level period. This is about respect for your father and whatever your beliefs are in a higher being a funeral/memorial/celebration of life whatever you want to call it is about that person not about the rest of the family. It is about showing respect for the person who died. I went to my father's memorial and I am glad I did.

There is also nothing wrong with someone coming up to you to give their condolances either. YES you heard me thats right. They wont get into a long conversation with you but it is perfectly fine to tell the D'ffd person "I am sorry for your loss." Or something similiar. I have seen this done with a friend of mine when his grandma had her memorial at a KH, and also with a relative in a different hall.

High Profile Case: Seeking Reinstatement

by headisspinning in

but our situation is very difficult and quite high profile.... i was raised as a jw and my mother was very strict and abusive.

i got baptized at age 14.. my mother actually called on my (present) husband's mom in service.

she was on the initial call resulting in his mom coming in the truth and him being raised in it from about age 8 or 9.. despite a very abusive step-father, he followed his mom's lead and came into the truth.

I still have friends who are JW's and this really makes me mad...if all you went through with these elders is as you say then they have to answer as "shepards." I showed this to a friend who in turn showed it to one of his elders and the elder's response was this is not the way you should ever be treated and that compassion is one of the first things that should be shown. He said if you truly want to come back go to a different congregation because obviously they will have to answer to Jah themselves.

I have known a lot people in and out over the years and I can honestly say we never went through this in the area in Canada I lived in. They were how one would expect a "shepard", "compassionate", "loving" man of god should be. Sure they disaplined people but not one person I know who left or got D'ffd has a bad thing to say about what their attitude or the way it was other than it sucked. Yes I know that isn't the case for some believe me.

if you are an employer, never hire a jehovah's witness.

the reason for this is simple: that mistake may cost you a lot of money!

you can bot expect a jehovah's witness to do what they are told to do, but you can expect them to do the oposite!

ok as a witness out for 18 years this conversation is just absurd...all of us know either when we were in or out we are all imperfect and we in or out did imperfect things so give your head a shake. I am sorry but to blame the witnesses for work ethics is absurd we all know what we should do but personality faults can't be blamed on the WTS. We all have our critisisms but come on people let this not turn into National Enquierer you only hurt your credibility. I have found those week in work ethics cannot be blamed on an organization just as a shitty baseball player can't blame his coach for his limp wrist. We aLL KNOW HOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO Have been but not ALL of us followed it. It comes down to the individual so bitterness over our experiences with the WTS should not stoop to labelling every lazy ass JW as a product of the WTS. I have met a lot of lazy asses in my life and they come from all walks of life. This argument to me comes down to another agenda and its called pure and simple: BITTERNESS. Grow up, get a life and be a force for good...not stupid unfounded pettiness to blame every negative feeling on your past association. Sorry but this argument completely and utterly absurd....embarrased its even on here.
