Do Jehovah's Witnesses Admit to Brainwashing Their Children?
by Mysterious ini recall it was always a buzz word when i was in to "inculcate" your children (deut 6:7) the belief system.
i don't remember exactly what they taught inculcate to mean but i decided to look it up: inculcate .
to impress (something) upon the mind of another by frequent instruction or repetition.

Out of the Mouth of Babes...
by RichieRich inso this week on the service meeting there was a part in the km about divine education.
true to form, it was another anti-college, pro-pioneering propaganda piece put out by our buddies in brooklyn.. in the third paragraph, it babbled forth about how colleges and universities don't teach people to overcome racism, tribalism, and something else.
(someone please post scan on dec. 2005 km front page).

Anyone leave the JW's and Still Follow Some of the Beliefs?
by lynnmelo inmany of you have seen my posts in the last week or two, but for those who haven't, here's my story in brief: i've been studying with the jw's for a couple of years, but just had too many doubts to commit.
those doubts were solidified when i discovered this site.
now i've decided not to commit.. however, i still believe in some of the things that the jw's believe.

Misrepresentation
by quango inmy understanding of the "big snooze" is that the essay maintains that jws have misrepresented quotes from secular sources.
is this message board not an obvious misrepresentation?
it claims to represent jehovahs witnesses (in its title)yet the vast majority of posters are anti jw and many have been expelled.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses parasites?
by moshe ini sometimes felt guilty when i was a jw by taking advantage of the system and not putting anything back.
like schools- jw's want good schools for their kids but would never serve on the pta or other school committee.
doctors- oh how they want the best medical care, but they discourage their children from getting an advanced degree to become a doctor.

Taking control over our lives.
by Lady Lee inthis is such a huge issue for me.
i don't want anyone to tell me what to do or how to live.
in part this is due to the control that the wts and the elders had over my life.
