Have I Learned to Think Outside of My Box?
by IslandWoman ini was thinking today ( as i have many times) of those days in the jw world.
over and over i now find it incredible that i could have thought that shunning was "good", that the door to door work was "productive", that to plan on allowing my child to die rather than to take blood was "god's will", that "worldly" people cannot know god, etc.
etc.. it all seemed right, it all seemed good, it all seemed god approved.

Thank you JWD, H20 and Witnesses Net!
by IslandWoman inthank you simon for this place.
it's a good place for good people and i learned that really 99.99% of all people are good.
just learning to accept others as they are and to unlearn the many prejudices that are so ingrained by religion, has been for me an education of greater worth than any university education!.

If God's Son Appeared to the Watchtower
by IslandWoman inif god should send his son to 124 columbia heights would the watchtower recognize his authority over them?.
if jesus came again in the flesh, went to brooklyn healed the sick and performed other miracles but spoke out against the authoritarian rule of the governing body and the hypocrisy of others who work there would they accept correction?
if he said the governing body and all their immediate helpers were to step down because now he was to rule the watchtower and correct their wrongs, would they?.

Poisoning the Womb
by IslandWoman ini know this has been mentioned before but i'd just like some input on this.. i would like to go "door to door" again, i miss it so.
what i am interested in is succinct criticisms of the watchtower that would turn off a householder to jehovah's witnesses.
nothing sensational just simple truths in easy to understand statements.

of course the answer is no!
it is also true that not all men who work at the watchtower are bad.
