    Most JWs that I know are law abiding. They won't overtly steal from you. They don't have wild parties.

    You don't know the jws I know, min. I know jws who speed, drink and drive, get around the inspection sticker, fudge on their taxes, cheat on their spouses, sold drugs in the KH.

    I know jws that stole from the contributions, kept the money for the worldwide work instead of putting it in the contribution box, failed to pay employment taxes for their jw employees, molested children, broke into witness homes and trashed them.

    jws don't have wild parties...........you just weren't invited.

    The elders in this area were stunned by the parties held by the young jws, including pioneers, cleaning up condoms, etc.

    Well, i don't like to admit it, but i think that there is one good thing. A life balanced between body, mind and spirit seems like a good thing. The wt teaches people to have strong minds, ie live w their minds dominating everything. For certain kinds of people, say people who tend towards just following their body desires towards, food, sex, etc, it has a beneficial influence. It helps them to a more ordered, productive life than they would have otherwise. 'Course, once they learn to use their minds more, they can move on to greater things, leaving the wt behind them. My thought.

    Boy you guys are really pissed about the Tower of Babble. I can say that at least my JW bud pays his bills. Eventually. I will give him credit for that.

    And also he is so much fun to be with when we head to the peeler bar.

    And he laughs so hard at my crude jokes.

    Blondie:

    sold drugs in the KH.

    Another JWD "first" ! (for me). Never head of that one before Blondie. But given some of the other things you mentioned, I guess it's not that surprising.

    If I hadnt spent 31 years trapped in the tower. I wouldnt have been able to come here today. I'd be doing something else. Something not as good or something that would kill me.

    Or I could be doing something much better and more productive.

    They reject the doctrine of eternal torment, probably the most evil teaching in history. Unfortunately, they replace imaginary future torments with very real present torments. (fear of Armageddon, protecting pedophiles, shunning, etc.)
