Disfellowshipping and different cultures
by man in black in.
my wife and i walked away from the jw religion 6 years ago.. she works at a school part-time, and several of the maintenance people are hispanic and active jw's from our area.. they go out of their way to be friendly, but always in a somewhat guarded way.. we were talking about this last night, and she thinks that different cultures do not respect or honor the df / da requirements of the jw religion the same across the board.. i don't believe that,,,, from what i've seen over the years shunning a non believer who leaves or is df'ed is a pretty standard thing.
or is it true that different areas, or cultures adapt their own way of handling this belief?.

how many of you guys were told it was a cult before joining up?
by rather be in hades inthis is more for those who were born out and converted personally.
i'm just curious if anyone was told while they were still studying if this was a cult before they got baptized.

A Taste Of Their Own Exclusion Medicine
by metatron inah, the pleasures of shunning and exclusion!
the thrilling self-delusion that god loves you but really hates others.. except....... that it cuts both ways.. witnesses get to exclude people thru df'ing and general shunning (oh, what fun!
) but must also exclude themselves from halloween festivities, thanksgiving dinners, some weddings, christenings, christmas celebrations and , of course, birthdays.. "what's that, grandma?
