Jehovah's Witnesses Are The Best Liars
by minimus ini say that because we have been trained to lie and not even give it a second thought!
we might intially call it "theocratic strategy" and we may utilize this "provision" so that the "good news" might be spread.
but more often than not, we bend the rules as we see fit, reasoning that it's not really lying, afterall!

Career advancement and the Borg
by pratt1 in.
it occurred to me that there a lot of activities at work that as a dub you would refrain from participating.
not just holiday celebrations, but also chartiy events outings on saturday or even just going out for drinks after work with the boss and your collegues.. because of these things do you think your career was adversely affected and have you began to partake in these activities after you left the borg?

An honest question...
by TallTexan inlet me preface this by saying that what i'm asking is a legitimate question.
i'm not doubting anyone, or accusing anyone of lying, or being an a-hole (well, no more than usual).
if you have a legitimate response to my question, please post or pm me, but please do not throw rocks or otherwise abuse me because this is an honest question regarding molestation w/in the jw community.. i was an active jw for 25 years and have continued to be associated with my still-jw friends for ten years since.

Jehovahs Witness Double Standards
by truthbeliever inthe society said in past issues of the watchtower that reading "apostate" literature is just as bad as reading pornography,here is where a double standard comes into play.a person can't be disfellowshipped for reading pornography,but can for reading other literature.i don't get that.also they claim that music is a conscience matter,yet how long could a brother or sister listen to a great gospel tape or cd before being disfellowshipped?if a man grew a beard you think that they would be treated well at the kingdom hall?one last thing,if the society wasnt promoting the 1975 date,and never said it,then why were there not loads of disfellowshippings before the failed date for apostasy by promoting a false date?these are just a few of the many double standards that i have observed.god bless you all.

Do you make active witnesses uncomfortable?
by pratt1 inthis weekend my wife and i visited with another couple, who although they are inactive, they also invited active witinesses to the their home along with us.
we knew most of the people there and they are aware that we are inactive - no big deal.
however there was one brother who did not know that were are inactive.
