only one thing, they do not allow smokers. I just ate to hang out with smokers.
Is There ANYTHING Good About The Jehovah's Witness Religion?

Yes....there are some good things:
Their institutional benevolence to the community's poor, sick, and orphaned.........oh wait! That not JWs...that's the Catholics.
Well, there's their organization's assistance to education, family counselling, health clinics, and the disadvantaged......oh, wait! That not JWs either....that's the terrible religions of mean ole Christendom!
Umm....let me think. There's got to be something. I'm racking my brain.

Nothing. That is, unless you would call protecting pedophiles within the ranks and then silencing the
victims, having someone control every last thing you do or say, having all your time usurped out in field
circus, having children staying up way past their bedtime on test day, no holiday celebrations, having to
donate to the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund and getting those dry cleaning bills and then boasting
about all the money you supposedly saved, faking happiness, obeying so many stupid rules, and having
busted up families because one party saw the scam good.True, they do claim to save people from drug abuse. But so do many worldly organizations, without
adding stagnation to create extra stress. They claim that they have helped people stop smoking, but
I have seen people stop smoking without their help (plus, if they slip, they can quit again). They may
have saved marriages, but most of those are "saved" with strict rules instead of going after the root
problem. People have had them come to the door that were at the end of their rope, and then they
lived stagnant lives dominated by field circus after.And, with all the destitution, stagnation, and stress they are causing, I don't think anything good can
be said about the religion. -

Most JWs that I know are law abiding. They won't overtly steal from you. They don't have wild parties.
That's all I can think of right now.

I don't see any good coming out of any religion. Religion is the most divisive force ever to plague human kind.

In all seriousness there are some good things about being a JW.
- Learn about the bible
- Learn about other religions
- A very wide network of friends and acquaintances.
- The young children also people have a very wide network of friends and acquaintances.
- The children and people learn good moral.
- Learn about mind control methods which can be seen in other areas outside the religion
