The rights of the WTBS vs the rights of those who doubt their claims.
by El blanko ini had an interesting chat(?
) last night with two friends who were involved with the wtbs and active jws.
the one desires to return and the other appears to defend the wtbs, whilst having a very unusual set of beliefs that are tacked onto the jw dogma.

i feel as though i have an army of friends that has stood by me through the toughest time i have ever gone through- you guys seemed to know what i needed to hear, even if some of it was hurtful, it was sooo helpful and i needed to hear it.

JW Mental Health
by Evesapple ini found these two references very interesting.....i reflected on the mentality of the witnesses in my old congregations in janesville, wisconsin....i realised they weren't a 'happy' people because they had the "truth", they were in truth happy because of being all medicated (prozac).

If Witnesses were allowed to come and post here...
by JH inif witnesses were allowed to come and post here, what do you think would be the outcome?
would they become weaker witnesses because of that?
or maybe, could it even do the opposite and strenghten their faith?

by Lady Lee inmy anonymous reader has an interesting questionhow others helped us think.
for me, it was two things:.
a high school teacher asked me, "does it make sense to you that god thinks that the people at your kingdom hall are better christians and more worthy than say....mother theresa?".
