would know, but still shocked how cold family can be. Was lucky to get to speak to my mom, second time this year. But she starts immediately that I can be loved and accepted by the family if onlyโฆ oh, for Jehovahโs sake.
It hurts. They start shunning us as kids.

hi, anyone know of someone who was disfellowshipped or shunned for domestic violence? e.g. โBut now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is โฆ a verbal abuserโฆ With such a man do not even eat.โ 1 Cor 5:11 BSB

just like me. I was baptized at 12, and also disfellowshipped (akin to modern day spiritual stoning) around 21 years old having survived an abusive marriage with no support. Iโve been shunned all my life. Thanks โJehovah.โ Iโm not an apostate, Iโm a believer.
On 12/11/88 I was 11 years old & baptized.
Here are pics of me getting dunked & my smiling, brainwashed, naive face an hour later.

โAt that time the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovahโs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or notโWatchtower

He also opens up when writing a book detailing rationalization of cheating on his wife and sex in Thailand on the donation dime, right? Itโs been interesting seeing how folks not reading means he stays safe from scrutiny, else the others donโt mind his hypocrisy and follow him.

Agree, we were all raised as little narcissists, and all exJWs effectively are rebelsโฆ we rebel in our little ways, not least of which is showing off our freedom and liberty. Some just have chosen a more licentious route of showing off, and publishing it in their own name. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ

do I get extra extra bonus points for just having bought one earlier today for the nostalgia? I loved those cheese danishes. And still do. Thereโs always tomorrow, until there isnโt.

You can only choose one. The baptism talk has ended at the circuit assembly on Saturday in the 80's/90's, what's on your mind?

and effects of religions like the Watchtower of Jehovah's Witnesses shunning abused women (and children) but that do not follow the biblical practice of "not even eating with such a man," and to "expel the evil."
My neighbor said I missed some JWโs at my door asking for me. I thought he meant in general, knocking on my door to give me a memorial invite. Nope. They asked for me by my name. Guess they found out I moved already.

In media we are told to take the personal story and ensure that it allows the audience to feel it as their ownโฆ action is motivated by feeling it personally, not as an other.

A1. Less than one. A decade measures years, and โdaysโ implies a shorter duration in concept and the prophecy.
A2. I know, right? Thatโd be extinction.
Q1. How many decades equal one "last days"? More or less than a dozen?
Q2. Has "this generation" ever not overlapped with the generations preceding and succeeding it?
Asking for a cult.
And worse, if someone doesnโt love you, well that was the only โvowโ (command). Youโre free. Says so clearly if we can read straight. Damn cult.

I realised the hard way that it's always best to be honest. Pretending makes you ill and achieves nothing in the long run. If you're unhappy tell them. If it can't be fixed, give yourself permission to be happy. You don't need an "excuse" (eg. immorality) to end it.
