shunning is unjust because say the problem is with 2 people let's say it's fraud against another person.
now 8 million people are brought into the problem by also shunning the one person that the 8 million must also shun do you see how stupid that is..

And..
You probably have never met most of them..
Now you have to let 8 million JWs know they have to shun you..
One at a Time!..

Hi..You Need to Shun Me!..

the organization really has some talented people in it.
seriously talented.
artists, musicians, animators, and any other creative venue you can think of.
My Issue With the Kingdom Melodies
The issue is that anything that gets churned out of the Borg is devoid of any life or soul.
i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.
as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.
now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.
The 1975 Generation---are they still around?

just been thinking about the "persecution" video where the modern day "job" loses everything.
here's an alternative narrative.. instead of turning down the salary job in the next town over, our hero takes the job even though it's a tough commute.
he is still able to contribute in a meaningful way to his "ministry.
Even when I was a full in Witness I used to have opinions on this that were exactly like the ones above.
Like the pioneer sister who drives around on bald tires and then when she has a flat, blames Satan.....millie210
I had a car full of JW Woman,in the field service..
Drive out to my ranch in the middle of no where..
In the worst piece of crap vehicle you could imagine..
Guess where the car dies?.....Right in the ranch driveway..
Now I can either keep the JW Woman as Slaves..(Nobody knows where they are..)..LOL!!..
Or..
Fix the car and get rid of a car full of JW Woman,all Talking at Once..
"BLAH..Blah..blah..blah"
Considering not one of them was ever going to stop talking and they were scaring the local wildlife..
Fixing the car was my only option..

observations: if man is merely a machine and the universe is merely a mechanism .... if men were only machines, they would react more or less uniformly to a material universe.
individuality, much less personality, would be nonexistent.. materialism reduces man to a soulless automaton and constitutes him merely an arithmetical symbol finding a helpless place in the mathematical formula of an unromantic and mechanistic universe.
but whence comes all this vast universe of mathematics without a master mathematician?
Outlaw, the thread is an observation based on reason and logic. I thought that’s what nonbelievers are fond of......OLI
There`s nothing reasonable or logical about the OP..
It arrives at conclusions with no evidence..And if me posting mere observations based on reason and logic would cause a nonbeliever to crucify believers who had nothing to do with this thread, then you are adding fuel to the idea that nonbelievers lack genuine morality.
There`s crazies on both sides of the fence..Believers/Non Believers..
They`re both extremely prejudiced against "Anything" outside their narrow beliefs..
A person who would do that is no different than the primitive Hebrews concept of God whom you so readily condemn.
the degradation of the governing body members continues on.
mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.
in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

The observations are simply addressing the
unreasonableness of excluding spiritualism.....OLI
Nonsense..
It`s presenting the spiritual as fact,without providing a shred of evidence..
(Because.....There isn`t any..)
The unfortunate result of threads like this is..
They incite extreme prejudice of rabid non believers,against any and all believers..
It`s a pity that..
Less obnoxious Believers will be Crucified for Your Sins/Threads..

recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".
Nobody at work knows what JWs believe..
Most People On Planet Earth..
DON`T KNOW WHAT JW`s BELIEVE..
i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.
i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.
i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.
And I can say that I got my very first dedicated meme from Outlaw, even if it is calling me stupid..... OutSiderLookingIn
Just so you know..
I don`t have a problem with People of Faith.....None at all
If people want to believe in Jesus and God..
I`m Good With That.....But..
When Modern People want to justify Ancient Savagery..
With a Fictional "SAVAGE GOD",the Ancients Created in their Own Image..
It`s Time for a Reality Check..

Sheesh, guys! That statement was sarcasm--
My thinking was that a month very likely diminished the immediate aggression associated with warfare.....OutSiderLookingIn
So Waiting a Month..
Would Diminish the Horror and Trauma of Being Raped?!..
