  I've Decided That It'll Be Best For Me To Return To The Kingdom Hall.

  by Philadelphia Ponos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after carefully evaluating the my current life situation, i've come to the conclusion that returning to the hall will be best for me.

  i simply just don't fit in with the rest of the world.

  i don't drink, smoke, have sex, go to clubs, listen to worldly music, watch movies, or gamble.

  WT scars that run deep

  by man in black in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my son who is 26 yrs.

  old recently confided in my wife and myself that he is having a rough time moving on past the jw mindset.. he was associated with the witnesses for the first 24 years of his life, and he really tried to do the whole witness thing correctly, yet he was and still is a shy person.

  now that he has been out for two years, he is having a lot of anger toward people who believe in god.

  Is there no hope? (daughter getting baptized)

  by camicia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm really distraught about the fact my 23 year old daughter is ready to abandon a potential career in writing where her talent lies, and become a jehovah's witness.

  i banned the study being held in our home, but it only hurt my relationship with my daughter, who screamed at me "i pay to live here and i'm not hiding, you're sabotaging my relationship with god!

  " so i gave in.

  July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).

  avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.

  (para 7, pg 16).

  What drove you? Love or Fear?

  by fade_away in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this has probably been discussed here before, but i'm new so sue me.. i think the religion of jehovah's witnesses has been an amazing but tragic social experiment proving that the mind is most vulnerable to brainwashing when it's in an unhealthy state.

  it seems to attract the bipolar, schizophrenic, depressive, and the paranoid.

  it preys on negative emotions like sorrow and fear.

  Social Networks are a threat to the Watchtower Society

  by FrankWTower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in recent months there have been massive protests and demonstrations against autocratic rulers in the middle east and north africa.

  many of these were possible in part because the protesters used social media services like facebook, youtube and twitter to get the word out and let the world know what was going on.

  these services are so threatening to many governments that they're blocked in order to control their people.
