many years ago i met an older man in the ministry who told me he was a baptized jw years ago, when i met him he was an alchoholic and had girlfriends, i told the elders, two came by and they told me to treat him as a regular worldly guy, my question is (i know this is a fuzzy area) about how much time needs to go by before someone (me for instance) would be looked upon as a non jw worldly person?.

ok your bible study wants to get baptised.
make sure he is aware of what's involved.
here is a checklist.
Attn pale.emperor, Maybe direct Quora jdub boosters to Wikipedia "Growth of Religion" article, dubs aren't even mentioned, they might retort however that the reason is that Wikipedia is "of Satan" :)
Enjoyed your YouTube spot btw,
Cheers,
surely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.
This is a principal reason that I left,
And no, I don't think that they are mentally healthy,
Like the Nazis they lack empathy,
Before you conclude that I am being too harsh,
In Canada in the 1960s groups of JWs would mount covert operations to sneak sick newborns out of hospitals to "rescue" them from blood transfusions,
Does this sound mentally balanced to you?
The PERCEIVED Will of God trumps human life,
Here's a question for you:
If JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES were convinced that it was Jehovah's Will, that they today were to go out and slaughter their neighbor men women and children like Israel supposedly did under Joshua, would they do it?
I know what I think,

i am asking this questions due to the teachings, beliefs and practices of different religions..
There's some truth in everything,
Even a broken clock is right twice a day,
:)
hi everyone,.
just wanted to reintroduce myself.
i was minnow on jwr and when it got shut down i took the opportunity to go quiet as things were starting to get uncomfortable as far as trying to maintain 100% anonymity.. now i'm back and hoping to reconnect with my old friends, like helen travers, tony brock and others.. hope you are all well..
Hi LittleGuy and Welcome!
I was on JWR a few years ago but did not post due to my situation then,
I was sorry to hear it died as your stories helped a lot through that difficult time,
As dubstepped said we're happy to be added as "new" friends,
All the best and again,
Welcome

Then..
does anyone out there know of any jws that have talked about what their personal relationship with jehovah was like?
for example, hearing his voice, a certain feeling?
an intellectual understanding?
