  Are we giving the Watchtower more power than it deserves?

  just recently, npy and myself were at a party and the subject came up as to how we knew six.

  i found myself hesitate to explain that our connection was that we had all been jehovah's witnesses.. after i told them...it was no big deal.

  they all explained how they had been penecostal and catholic and they had their abusive stories to tell... we were all the same.. .

  darn it!

  i remember my best friend when i was a witness was completly obsessed with words, such as darn, shoot, heck, etc..... i remember her telling her daughter not to say "birth day" but call it "birth date".

  she wouldn't say, "christmas break' but would call it "winter break".

  she would lie to get a free hotel night, but she would not say "darn"...... so petty and hypocritical.. did anyone else know witnesses that went over board with words like my friend?.

  official website re: shunning family members?

  i am trying to help a df'd friend who is being shunned by her family.. i had told her about the frequently asked questions on the official website of jw's, that it had written that the watchtower does not shun family members.. having a hard time finding that...didn't it used to be there?

  have they changed ?
