How Did You View JEHOVAH As a JW? (Part 1)
by Prisca inwhen you were a jw, how did you view jehovah?was he some almighty god who was to be feared yet respected ?did you fear him, terrified that if you didn't obey every commandment and society rule, you would be doomed at armageddon?did he seem a benevolent god, one who looked after and cherished you?did you feel as though he was close, listening to every prayer, watching over you with concern and love ?or was he watching you so as to judge every wrong thought and action, condemning you when you were anything less than spiritually strong or pure?.
and how do you view him now ?
has leaving the jws affected that?

Devil's Playground
by kyria inhas anyone seen the documentary "devil's playground"?
i highly recommend it.
it's about the amish custom of rumspringa, in which children are allowed total freedom for one year when they turn 16. unprepared for the real world, they have a year of debauchery and end up in all kinds of trouble (anybody remember that old jw parable about pulling a rubber band so tightly that when you finally let go it flies across the room?

Could Humor help the WTBTS Demise
by stillajwexelder inpaul mccartney did a concerty in red square -- many russians admitted music is universal and rock music and the beatles in particular had a hand in the downfall of communism.
my brother (who works in london) has just scanned in and sent me viz magazine with the new character - and he said "what i thought was funny though was it showed all jw's as radio controlled robots acting like the borg" my question is -- if you criticize jws the ywill refuse to listen --but is it just possible with humor like this -- it might just make them think --- so most young witnesses listen to rock music -- but do you think that humor can help bring about the demise/reform of the wtbts

Have You Ever Served as an Attendant? Share Your Stories!
by Funchback ini remember being a jw lad (about 10 or 11 years old).
i would be at the circuit assembly and, at around 10:45 am, about 8 brothers would get up, walk slowly up the aisle, glancing at each row of their "section", their lips quivering as they silently count each person, trying to maintain focus as nearly each jw makes eye contact them (even though everyone knew what the attendants were doing!
did i want to grow up to be the president of the united states?
