Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ini could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.
once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

My physically disabled mom attends one day assembly while excusing herself from her best friend's wake.
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy mom has been physically disabled the last three years.she cannot walk without assistance,needs someone to cut up her food,needs help bathing and is either in bed,in a wheelchair or sitting in an electric recliner.my brother pays for her care while he's at work and takes care of her after work and weekends.. last week my mom calls me to tell me that her best friend of 50 years (who was not a jehovah's witness ) passed away.she tells me that the wake would be on monday night.i told her that i would help my brother get her in the car and stay an hour or so with them and help pay her last respects to her best friend's husband and 3 children.. she tells me that she would have a hard time getting in and out of the car and sitting at the funeral home would be too difficult.so,i decide to attend her best friend's wake to represent our family since neither my dad,mom and brother decide to attend.i attended the wake and told the widowed husband and the 3 children that my mom was sorry that she couldn't attend the wake due to being physically disabled.. i found out that my mom attended a one day assembly on that saturday.
she sat in her wheelchair from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to listen to the program.i'm pissed that she would miss her best friend's wake but attended an 8 hour assembly.my wife told me that i should of called her on why....." if she's so sick she could physically attend the assembly and not her best friend's wake.

Were you beaten as a child?
by purrpurr ini've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.
particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.
not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

Higher Education - is it really the end of the WT?
by OutsiderLookingIn inas a non-jw, before i started looking into things, i must say i only encountered intelligent jws.
so i was quite surprised to read here and in the pew report about their low overall educational achievement.
granted, my exposure was limited (less than a handful of people over a lifetime) but i met two of them in post-college education (graduate school) at a very good school.

Have you ever experience suprise by an Elder that actually showed compassion and reasoning in a judicial committee?
by adjusted knowledge insome 25 years ago when i was an active teenager in the congregation there was this elder's teenage son that acted out sexually at a young age.
the elder's son i believe was molested over a short period of time at a very young age by another elder whose wife was dying of cancer.
the reason why i suspect it is because this elder was caught and discipline "privately" for touching the breast of a 15 year girl in our congregation.
