how do jws (rank and file) know when to commence shunning the victim of an internal judicial proceeding ?
what direction does the elders manual give to start the congregations participation in shunning?
when did you most recently see this process initiated in a hall you attend?.
Thanks to one and all !
Has anyone opinions on the legality of the practice - (announcing a persons name and religion status) to what could be a random audience?
I say random because not everyone at the hall are Jws -there are children, , studies, various visitors and guests - what legal right do these people have to such personal, private details sprung upon them?
Please keep responding with your various opinions, I am going somewhere with this...

you might be a jehovah's witness if, to not feel guilty on saturday morning, you ride in a car with a group of adults driving in circles around town taking turns to get out one at a time to knock on a door that you hoped no one would answer.. you might be a jw if going on vacation meant going to a summer regional or district assembly where you did not need to pack shorts, tennis shoes, or tank tops.
.
you might be a jw if for lunch at the summer convention you and your family ate breakfast food from the holiday inn where you are staying for the summer assembly.. you might be a jw if the first thing that you think about when waking up in the morning is that it is meeting night.. you might be a jw if you introduce a person to another jw, not by the person's name by as my bible study.. you might be a jw if you don't celebrate christmas but will take the money from your employer to not come to work so that you can celebrate it..
... if you suddenly shun people who you claim to love - for no discernible reason.

So, announcements by name are still made regarding a persons religious affiliation?
Could anyone substantiate that is actual written organizational protocol supplied to elders from HQ?
Thanks

Thanks for any knowledge you have of the process, as currently practised.
i am interested in the approach this forum takes to money.
apart from sex, (which i am quite relaxed about) it seems to me that wealth is the surest divider between those who are moral, and those who are not.. it seems jesus thought so, also.
luke 16:19-31 kjv describes well enough his dusty attitude to the rich who do not succour the poor.. and this world has many poor: so many, it might seem that we can do nothing about it, and twist his words; 'the poor ye shall have always with you, but me, ye shall not have always.
I don´t agree that 2RM has hosted " ..a train wreck" at all.
I now live in a country that has lots of truly poor people ( tin/wood shacks, no electricity, no school for those who can´t afford uniforms etc. etc..)
I first thought "just lazy" now I know better. The roosters crow about 4:30 AM and the poor get busy -hustling, gathering, peddling, chopping, carrying, scrounging...
Shocking to learn that one lady who calls around with her (delicious) doughnuts is raising six lovely children. These folks work long and hard in a democracy run by fat-cat corruptos .
2RM has proposed irrespective financial equality which is way too much, but there is surely a need for redistribution of excesses that seem so great that "immoral" may well apply, as the OP suggested.
Maybe some of the vitriolic commentors might offer appropriate amendments rather than condemnation.
My suggestion - educate, educate, educate
“anne boleyn walked around and talked to her ladies in waiting half an hour after her head was cut off.”.
“anne boleyn walked around and talked to her ladies in waiting; half an hour after, her head was cut off.”.
please feel free to add your own examples and comments.. thanks..

i tried searching for this site by entering "jehovahs-witness.com" and this site did not come up on the first page !
it was jw dot org etc all the way down !.
how can we change this ?.
yup --- could prolly count their hours to.
... you are told to trust the slave as you do jehovah and jesus..
...If you haven´t seen your grandchildren in years and they live five miles away
just watched ' one of us' on netflix about individuals who are trying to leave the hasidic orthodox jewish faith group (a high control group within judaism).. i found it interesting as those who rebel or leave are virtually ostracized from their community.
the documentary is an eye opener into their highly insular community.
one of the things i thought interesting is that there is a support group called footsteps to help hasidic jews wanting to leave the strict insular way of life so that they can move on with their lives.. this got me thinking.
Please report what you learn - there is certainly a need.
