  Are you still considered an outcast because of your JW past?

  even though i no longer proclaim being a jw it seems to have tarnished my relationship with others, including family and even co-workers.

  .

  i feel as tho i am still treated differently than others..

  JWs say its impossible for "worldly people" to be happy

  by shopaholic in

  2. friends

  i've had 3 different jws tell me this over the past few weeks.

  basically their thinking is non-jws are not happy and when they appear to be its not real, its not a true happiness.

  according to them, non-jws use drugs, alcohol and wild sex to make themselves happy.

  Did you ever really have true blue friends being a Witness?

  by Cheetos in

  2. scandals

  looking back i don't think i really ever had any good friends being witness, cause if i would have some out of all those people and so called friends i thought i had, you would think one of them would have looked me up over the years.

  what a farce.

  JWs and Domestic Violence

  by Amha·’aret in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember when i was in my early teens finding out about a jw brother who was hitting his jw wife.

  her parents were also witnesses and were disgusted with his behaviour (and rightly so).

  i was completely shocked at the time, thinking those kinds of things just didn't happen among a loving brotherhood.

  Giving Credit Where It's Due To Witnesses

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mom has had to go to a number of doctor's visits that have at times kept her waiting for 4 hours.

  many witnesses have responded to her needs by calling her and helping her out.

  i've thanked a few who have greatly assisted her.

  WT: Dumbing down the message; no intellectuals allowed

  by Hiddenwindow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have you noticed that the most recent publications by the watch tower, and particularly the study articles of the watchtower magazine, contain less and less references to secular sources?

  there is not doubt that the society was always making efforts to provide us with a historical and quasi-intellectual perspective of the world.

  i am sure all of you can think of books by the watch tower that contained extensive information on history, biology, and even philosophy (insight, creation book, the bible -god's word or man's?
