Nessrriinn's Story
by jwfacts inthis is a beautiful account by nessrriin of her growing up and leaving the muslim faith.
the parrallels with leaving the watchtower faith is quite remarkable, even the similarity of terminology such as; the truth, conventions, guilt, study more, apostate, "there is no questioning allah".. there have been several accounts lately of people torn by the question "what if the watchtower is correct"?
hopefully this video will help show that your religious belief is due to your religious upbringing, not that it really could be "the truth.".

Help needed with an web design problem - anyone understand HTML
by jwfacts ini tried to teach myself html by trial and error lately so i could write my site with cleaner code and make it easier to update.
it is still pretty shocking but a lot better then the way i used to do it in ms publisher.. however i am having a problem on the home page where i have used some css style sheets.
the site is jwfacts.com and for some reason when i add a hyperlink it pushes it onto a new line.

The Watchtower and Large Gatherings
by jwfacts inan example of how watchtower regulation invades every aspect of a witnesses life are the following articles of socializing in gatherings, warning about provision of alcohol, time spent entertaining and size of events.. i remember the stress that accompanied each event that we hosted, as the host is considered responsible for any situations that may arise.
how many people, how much alcohol, who can we invite that wont be offended, what music can we play that will be considered acceptable, is it too loud, too dark, is anyone pairing off, ?
on more than one occasion i was summonsed to the elders after such events.

Coke, Enron, transparency and the end of the WTS
by jwfacts incoke's zero marketing campaign has been criticized as a failure for using a contrived blog site, amid complaints about not being transparent.
enron's collapse led to a string of new laws such as sarbanes oxley to ensure transparency in corporate dealings.
however the wts does everything it can not to be transparent.

This generation to end in 2007 - so say the Mormons
by jwfacts inreading http://www.mormonbeliefs.com/god-jesus-trinity-virgin_birth.htm is like reading a watchtower, i never was aware how simliar mormons and jws are in so many areas.. one thing that struck me was that 'the generation' will end in 2007, and so jesus will possibly return then.
however the official site http://www.mormon.org/ and http://www.lds.org/ do not seem to make mention of it.
does anyone know if this is still the teaching?

Apostasy or Immorality?
by jwfacts inthe watchtower used to say that most people got disfellowshipped for immorality.
do you think this is still the case?
it seems to me that i am hearing of as many people leaving over apostasy as over immorality, or am i just hanging out in the wrong circles?.
