  There are many JW's, who do less than 100% .;-)
  (Some do even less than 20%...)
  and there are some JW's not following the mainstream. They see their priorities in different way.

  yes Yo YO all of these were taught to folks, folks were
  DF for these teachings and after all was said and done
  then you and i was told that they were NEVER IN THE BIBLE

  yep you spend time teaching folks alot of stuff that aint even in the bible

  how sad and you got the nerve to say that all you teach is SUPPORTED BY THE BIBLE

  yea right

  Erich,

  actually that may be true, but these witnesses who are doing their own thing and not following the 'mainstream' as you call it, are not real witnesses at all. i was a witness for almost thirty years and have been to dozens of different congregations and there is no way that your way of thinking and what you are doing is acceptable to them. if your circuit overseer knew that you were spending your time here you would be disfellowshiped in a heartbeat and you know it. so dont be trying to pass yourself off as a real witness.

  We never were "collectively self righteous and arrogant". We never were "severely judgemental". We never "broke up families, and we never "encouraged the attitude, that formerly loved relatives are now just >worldly people< worthy of destruction", we never encouraged someone
  "to let their children die without blood transfusions", and we never "discouraged our son getting a higher education".

  So, you're not an elder, then?

  Last night, my 15 year-old son told me he couldn't understand why JW's think they are persecuted. He told me that when he was sitting on the Golden Princess cruise ship with my Dub sister and her husband a couple of weeks ago, this very thing came to his mind.

  He said to me, "Here they are on a Caribbean cruise, being waited on hand and foot, a Corona beer with lime in their hand, and living a good life. How can they think they are persecuted?" He thought it was rather hypocritical.

  He also added that they make themselves the victims and that is not healthy.

  Some wise observations from a 15 year old.

  FreePeace,

  It was very wise of you listening to a 15 years old kid.

  I believe the issue was why Witlesses are persecuted.

  What you do or did doesn't interest me. I'm describing the
  ugliness of Witnesses in general - damaging families, endlessly
  judging, judging , judging, discouraging college education,
  and so on.

  The only shame I feel is guilt over helping this sick organization
  deceive and injure people.
