JW's is it the normal JW practice to send someone an email then block them from replying?
I posted the following in a question after the JW in question sent me an email.....
"I received an email from a JW here after I answered a question and stated that the multibillion dollar organization, the WBT$ ignores Christ's leading to feed the poor, he/she, lets call them Jes--rum told me, "It is far from your understanding, then, that the WTBTS has feed millions of people, for free." and "If JW's were put in charge of the world's finances, then there would be no starving people.” "
When I asked him to supply proof that the JW's had in fact fed millions he replied with a story about how some JW family had helped him, I suppose expecting me to take that as proof that the JW's did feed millions.
After I sent him posts to that question [in case he had not read them] even one from another JW that agreed that the JW's don't feed the poor food just the uninspired word from the WBT$ men, he sent me the following email, "Hey, I e-mailed you in good faith. But, quit e-mailing me. I don't want to here rubbish. "then blocked me from replying to him. As I said part of that rubbish was a reply from another JW.
Is this how Christ taught JW's to show love to others ?
Is this an example of the love of Christ?
Or is this more about the teaching of the JW's as:-
'Hate what is bad. ……….. then in order to hate what is bad a Christian must hate the PERSON [my caps] with whom the badness is inseparably linked..
The Watchtower, July 15, 1961, page 420
We must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest. Watchtower Oct 1, 1952, Page 599 par 11 - 13
While these are old teachings [the bible teachings are a bit older] there has never been an updated teaching on hate by JW's.
What Does Jesus Say?
Jesus said, 'Love your enemies. ... Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6: 26 - 37.
Jesus said, 'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.' Matthew 5:44. 2 Cor. 11:12-15; 2 John 1: 9 - 11; Luke 6: 35
@The Voice Of Clive Jones, I agree, the actions of one do not mean the rest are the same, but like Unsilenced Lioness this is a very common with JW's it has happened to me on numerous occasions from other JW's. The JW's are the only ones I have had do it to me so far.
Sorry @conundrum, attacking me or my son will not change the situation a very well known JW on this site was a coward and a hypocrite, he sent me an email and blocked me before I could respond, that is cowardice and your attack on me shows your development as a Christian. I will continue to pray for you and yours, your answer shows you need a lot of prayer. God bless
@shodbuster, please read The Watchtower, July 15, 1961, page 420 and notice the words, "Hate the PEOPLE", [caps mine] I did not write that the WBT$ was the writer.

I am sorry @Call me Gary, but with your record here I cannot believe one word you ever say.
If any Christian want to know how to bypass this blocking by these JW cowards, please send me an email and I ill pass on the method, I do still contact all JW's who block me and tell them how much of a coward they are. I never contact them again unless they contact me again but being blocked by them is not even an inconvenience if you have the know-how!!

Happens to me all of the time.
Cowards
Edit: For the record. I have never unblocked and e mailed the poster named "Call me Gary" and then re blocked him as he claims, Ever he is a bold faced lair. that is for sure,
I would like for Call me Gary to produce such e mails,
You have made a claim that involves me and you are lying so I would love to see some proof of your claim, Because I have never done such a thing, I don't give a rats *** what you think or say so why would I e mail you? buck-0 so now you have to produce proof or it will be established from now on that you are a liar.

Think of what kind of 'fighting style' this is?
I've encountered people who do that all over the place.
They call it 'getting in the last word'. They 'shoot' and run.
Why do they do that?
They want to 'win'. They do not want to examine their beliefs.
If they were able to be honest, which they couldn't do, they
would say 'I am not interested in hearing this'.
But if they do that, then they start to wonder, 'why not?'
and THAT could run into all kinds of problems.
Can you believe it when I say I had this with a hardcore a (=atheist).
This 'a' is seen on R & S a lot. Got in, I replied, they did, and
said they were blocking me, and had done this.
Reason and logic somehow fell down.
I the ONLY area where I CLING is Jesus Christ, even doctrine,
I don't cling to it.
These false beliefs are like any ADDICTION, and we all know
how hard THOSE are to let go of, to break.
Try telling an addicted junkie about their addiction,
they will hit and run. In fact there's a lot in common
with that also, the 'hit and run'.
So we also see 'fear' lurking somewhere.
It's also a 'bundle', so a whole bunch of things.
Only 'the truth makes' us free'.

no. i haven't seen any use or point for doing it. why? because i block someone as soon as they mention certain words all together in one answer. that's how i know. plus i make sure to answer it in such a way that a person can't really guess out the religion immediately. and the only way they will know is if they check my profile. mainly because i block a lot i don't have a problem with it. you can't really discern out an honest question. a lot of apostates ask "honest questions" and when you do hear the shout, they are ex J.W. or apostate.

That reminds me of my grandmother. She would tear you into little pieces with her mouth, and before you could get a word in edgewise, she'd tell you, "All right, I've had my say, and I don't want to hear about it again."
As far as the way JW's treat their former members, Jesus hung around with tax collectors and hookers and the rest of society's rejects. So how can the Watchtower justify disfellowshipping their own people?
One more proof that the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of the Jehovah's Witnesses have very little in common except the name.

one jw did this to me as well.
I was sent an email with her/his opinion and then blocked unable to reply.
It is not the Spirit of Jesus operating within those people.

I heard from a reliable person that you send very insulting emails, if that is true, then of course they will block you. What do you expect? I see all your writings on here and I don't even have time to read it all.
Do you have another life outside of bashing JW's? just pondering...

First and formost a JW should not have been emailing you anyway so right there you know he is not practicing as a witness or at least the way he should be.
Second you take those articals out of context. It is not the people JWs hate and lithe it their actions.

Hey, I just got one too...this "Probst" guy calls me names, and curses me, then blocks me...
These people are a sorry lot of angry pedophile protectors, that can only make personal attacks to soothe their anguish, and humiliation caused by their Criminal sex-cult, and their Proven false beliefs that have ruined all of them in the sight of Jesus Christ.
They are really angry because they cannot answer your questions, or mine, or many others, so they act like juvenile children, taunting "old Baldie"....well be careful you JW's, the she-bear is looking for all of you.
You can hear Satan in their answers...remember what that was like when we were members?
Yes GaryC....yes, I sent you a few e-mails that frosted your cake. I hope you put them in a frame and place it in your Kingdom Hall.
The things you did you me, and others is not worth bringing up.
You have definitely worn out your welcome with me.
Conundrum. Yes, we know all about the "worldwide association of brothers"...it is a prison of spiritual death-traps, set amongst the superfine truths that pepper the Watchtower's illustrious past. You will keep learning about Men, and their interpretations, until you come to the place that we have. Jesus is not in the Watchtower. He is not in the churches, but you will reach a place when you will Want to know where your true Shepherd King is...we will be waiting for you friend.

Probably not normal, but just common amongst them, I have found, any hoo, it is the practice and behaviour of COWARDS, no matter what religion or lack there of.
- 9 years ago
I've had Christians and even an Atheist do that to me. Its unfair to use a single person to tar an entire group.
