    I am. I know some pretty sharp, critically minded people, and I am surprised they still are active Witnesses.

    Some JWs will criticize the WTS freely at home, but everywhere else it's nothing but the company line...

    Nope. Read Hassan's first book and you'll no longer be surprised. You'll wonder how anyone ever escapes.

    There were ones at Bethel that criticized much, and still there.

    One elderly gal critcized the Judge as being terrible and insulting and resented being called "a bag of bones and a hank of hair by him" and yet died faithful to org.

    Perplexing to me.

    Not at all..

    Some JW`s use the JW Cult..

    As a Resource for Business Contacts..

    I know some very intelligent and successful witnesses. They don't want to wake up.

    Yes, they don't want to wake up. It's easier to just press ignore.

    No, I'm not. My husband says time and again he can't believe that my mom is a JW, because she is just far too smart to ever be one. I keep telling him he'll never understand why, and not to waste time thinking about it.

    How about "weak" JWs that violate every rule yet they are "believers"??

    Yes, one brother, he talks about sex ALL the time. I thought he would be df'd more than 20 years ago, but he is still the microphone handler in his congregation.
