perhaps this line of questioning could agitate a jw's thinking.
it can't hurt.. you: is shunning a biblical teaching?.
jw: yes.. you: so it must be god's law?.
Canadian Sunshine, Have you read the Bible Fully, especially the violence filled Old Testament.
You say so much about "Holy" Bible and Love.
Also, we can very well Justify shunning from the Bible. The Bible advises to slaughter the Unbelievers and Jesus himself says the same point figuratively. As well as Paul who says not to invite anyone into your home, who does not accept Christ.
i have recently read in the news that an attack on iran is planned sometime after the olympics in beijing.
here's a bit of background to it:.
when irans fledgling democracy was overthrown with support of cia the shah of iran was giving israel free oil thru a pipeline that still runs thru saudi arabia to a refinery in the israeli city of haifa.
so, i am having lunch with a group of women with varying backgrounds.
i asked the circle how many believed in the story of adam and eve and the snake.
no one believed it literally.
Christ's Sacrifice
According to Cambridge Dictionary
sacrifice meaning: 1. to give up something for something else considered more important: 2. to offer the life of an animal or a person to a god or gods in the hope of pleasing them, usually as part of a ceremony
What was the Outcome of the supposed Christs (If he really existed) so called Sacrifice ?
Oh No. Not those christian Abstract concepts like "Christ died for our sins, Christ is our Savior, redeemer, Christ paid the Ransom......."
Rather, any Tangible benefits that we could verify ?
Yes, Ransom is the concept that JWs introduced to tie up with the Supposed Christs Death

Am sure the dubs would call it as an Apostate Dog influenced by Satan
BTW, Where are the angels who are supposed to Protect ?
... you are told to trust the slave as you do jehovah and jesus..
You are brainwashed that the Organisation is more important than your family.
hey forum goers.
i'd like your opinions on constructing an email reply to this shocker below.
bit of background about the sender: she is a middle-aged, cheery uberdub whose siblings left when a schism occured in her congregation in canada way back when.
Sinning against the Holy spirit is an Unforgiving Sin - Bible
So you can sin against Jah and it will be forgiven ?
Does this make any sense at all ?? According to JWs, Holy Spirit is Jah's Active force. How one can sin against this.
Moreover, according to the above Bible verse (And JW Understanding) this Holy spirit is more powerful than Jah itself. Absolute nonsense.
we’ve all heard them all our life.
my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.
oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.
sir82, Yeah right. What about the bone chilling Arctic Poles and bone dry deserts ? May be the less Spiritual would be driven out there ?
OR Possibly Jah would reset the whole earth to be at 21 Deg C then.
Modern appliances working - Possibly jah would use his ancient magics to keep the turbines running by themselves and Produce enough Electricity
Good Speculations, even while an apostate.

When we are out in FS in a car group, and come across a Beautiful home in a nice neighborhood, have heard sisters say that they will choose to live in that home in the new world.
(Obviously, as per their cult thinking, the current owner of that home would have been destroyed in Armageddon. )
many people like to boast about “jehovah being loving and impartial toward all”.
there are even scriptures that say words to that effect.. however, if we look at just his actual conduct and actions , and not accept the words supposedly written by his apologetic “bible writers”, the facts tell us something else!.
firstly, he chose one special nation and race of people.
Do you think the Stoning of a man to death is Completely justified for working on a Sabbath day ?

My 2 cents
Numbers 15:32-36
32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.Numbers
