Has being a JW...

words like "the truth," "watch tower," "jehovah.

Why would you want to kill the org?
by what_Truth? ini know that there's a lot of people here who have been deeply hurt by the jehovah's witnesses (i have as well).
i also know that the gb are a bunch of lying bastards.
still i have also met a lot of people who have made their lives much better by becoming jehovah's witnesses.

Hate leaving my family behind.
by Big Dog inafter lurking about for a while i finally decided to join the board.
i have never done anything like this and was amazed at how stressful it was to sign up and press the return key to join up and actually post something.
just a quick bio: 41 year old lawyer who was raised a jw but had the good sense to never get baptized.

Are JW's no part of the world...? I think not!
by dh indoesn't it make you laugh when you see jw's preaching to themselves that they are no part of the world and should not have any part in the world, one foot in the world and one foot with jehovah cannot work.. the question is, if jw's want no part of the world, why do they wear clothes made by worldly people, drive cars designed and made by worldly people, work for worldly people, eat food produced by worldly people, sit on toilets that were designed by worldly people, live in cities and society built and created by worldly people, in fact why do they partake in everything the world offers except a few hand picked things?
how can you claim to be 'no part of the world' when you live, breath, eat sleep, drive, fly, live in and everything else as part of it, using the tools that world provides... how can driving a worldy made car and eating worldly made food and all of the above be classed as being no part of the world?.
if jw's really wanted no part of the world, they would live like hamish, but as with everything else jw, they give a thing a name that it is not, they say they want no part in the world, yet i doubt even the bricks, hard seats and green carpets in their kingdom halls were made by anyone but worldly people... .

watchtower red flags
by Ticker inwhen i was studying and in the org i never did put two and two together becuase first off it was peer pressure and a young baptism age.
i was indoctrinated as a child so i never got a chance to ever use sound reason and judgement toword the validity of the society's claims.
but anywho i was thinking the other day about certain things that are obvious red flags and far fetched claims that the org makes.
