"Watchtower" - Why did Russell REALLY choose that name?

She said I seem really bitter about my JW experience....
by Sirona in.
i was talking to someone at my new job - she has known me for about 3 months and had something like 2 five minute conversations with me about the jws.. she said "you do come across as really bitter about it".. (note she is definately not a jw).. it was a real eye opener, because although i try and educate people about the truth of jws, i didn't think i was "bitter".. what about you?

How many exJWs are now pagan? Why?
by Sirona ini was just wondering how many exjehovahs witnesses are now pagan?

also, is it rebellion?

Just watching TV and it got to me....

i was surprised but perhaps i shouldn't be.. it was about kids here getting their 16 yr qualifications...they're gcse's for those who are not in the uk.
anyway, it showed a girl getting the same results as me, pretty much a's for all exams, and her family listening to her results and celebrating them.

Children or no Children?
by Sirona inthe jws used to always have discussions about whether to have children "in this system of things".. i used to always think it was pathetic to avoid having kids because of the so-called impending armageddon.. however.
despite the fact that i've always wanted kids, right now i'm not so sure.
just look at the things happening in the world.

Very quick and easy way to refute their beliefs
by Sirona ini thought this was great http://www.watchman.org/jw/witness.htmwitnessing tip of the month: jehovah's witnesses - how many true gods are there?.
the next time the jehovah's witnesses come to your you may ask them, "does your organization teach more than one true god?".
almost without fail the sharp witness will reply, "we only believe in one true god, jehovah.. explain that you agree with this statement saying, "i also believe in only one true god and all other gods are false gods.. the ask, "how do you understand john 1:1 that teaches, the word [jesus] was god?.

JW women focused on appearance!
by Sirona init really gets on my nerves.. jw women used to be always focused, as their number one thing, on appearance.
they could be crap at the rest of the jw stuff, but if they turned up at the meeting dressed nice, thin, long hair, looking nice, all was forgiven.
of course it was because of the misogyny (sp?
