What Qualities Did You Find Most Attractive In The Jehovah's Witnesses???
by minimus inone thing i took pride in as a witnesss was that we knew our bible.
we could talk to any clergymen and smugly decimate them with our knowledge of the "truth".

JWs Live In Their Own Little World
by minimus inone thing i'm convinced of is that jws live in their own little bubble.
the world could be in chaos around them but not missing a meeting is what's most important.
children of jws could be going thru teenage trauma or even molestation, but are they getting their "time" in??

They Aren't Your Friends
by metatron inwhen i announced, at the c.o's meeting with the elders, that i was quiting and giving up, the brother who gave the prayer.

JW's and the question of alien existence
by Monski init seems to me that jw's do not believe in the existence of alien beings as the bible has nothing to say on the matter.
everything seems to revolve around the planet earth and the possibility of there being alien life is considered to be apostate.
sounds a bit like the oppression that galileo received from the catholic church when he suggested that the earth moved around the sun and not vice-versa!.

wouldn't, in time, the benefits seem to outweigh the negatives (such as a compromise to honesty, and, in fact, wouldn't the original lie be lost to the sands of time?.

Will there ever be a computer in a KH?
by JH inno matter where you go today, you'll find a computer.
do you think that one day computers will be found in kh's?
they could store tons of information on each witness, instead of writting it down on a piece of paper.
