has shunning been downplayed?

by chickpea in

several times over the course of a year or so, jws from the kh i attended have been downright chatty during happenstance crossing of paths... .

wth is up with that?

i have no grudges against any of them, but it is confusing as all get out to have left the cult as an ardent supporter of my out, open, front page headlining transgender son, becoming vocally and decidely apostate knowing i was dead to them... now after at least a half decade out, to have them chummy-ing up to me in a check-out line.... frankly, i would rather they look the other way, you know, if none of them would ever genuinely want to know how my son is doing.

Shunning is alive and well in jw-ville.

I moved to the west coast to get away from the peering eyes of those who shun.

Had to start over.

I was hoping you had books to get rid of. I'm looking for the original version of the book "Faith on the March." The later versions seem to have the part about the early faithful Bible Students standing on the bridge in white robes, waiting for Christ's arrival removed.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

My book mentions this forum, jwfacts, silentlambs and a few other good sources of help for me while on the healing path.

"Crisis of Conscience" was one of the first nails in the coffin of jw-ville. Once I read that book, there was no turning back because the delusion had been broken through. After that, I could only see the society as a "book publishing company" and not any "god-ordained organization."

Was Your Leaving The Witnesses A Very Gradual Process Or A Quick One?

by minimus in

for me, it took many years.. even when i would read all the changes over the years from the "truth", i still would ignore it and "wait on jehovah" and try to be a positive force in the congregation.. eventually, i just couldn't take it anymore and resigned as an elder, and slowly but surely made my fade.. what about you?

were you out, in a short or longer time?
