WATCHTOWER WORDS
by minimus init is true that jehovah's witnesses have their own language.
an "outsider" might not have a clue to what certain words might mean.
for example, "the truth"-----if a person heard that expression, they would never have connected it to only the jw religion.....can you think of language that is exclusive to "watchtower" world??

Sacrifices - choices
by donkey ina couple of questions: .
if you could travel back in time and ended up in germany where hitler was a 5 year old child and you had the opportunity to strangle him to death with your bare hands....would you do it?
if an animal species could be saved from extinction by killing one human - would you do it?

Before and after meetings: What was the conversational quality like?
by truthseeker ini have been in a number of different congregations over the years, and i have to say that the level of conversation i had with my fellow believers, with a few exceptions, was rather poor.. here are some 'opening' comments.. 1) nice to see you at the meeting.
- i never understood this.
can you imagine going to a company meeting and saying to your fellow worker, 'nice to see you at the meeting'?.

does anyone remember being a child as a JW and not having holiday?
by franklin J ini am curious to know how many others shared the same experiences as me as a child, growing up as a jw.. surfing this board has brought back a flood of memories ( i am secure enough to deal with them) not all good.
i have been away from jws for sometime, and remember being a child in school and having to explain why i do not salute the flag, why i have to leave the room when there is a birthday or christmas party, why i had to explain when i was seen going door to door ( i grew up to be a pioneer).
being "different" is hard for a child.. now that i have 3 children of my own, who are fortunatelly not growing up as jw, to see how secure and well adjusted they are in school is comforting.
