Are things really that bad?
by gringojj ini was just reading a post from someone and it said that the world is a paradise now, we just have to accept it.
it made me think, the jws are always saying how bad things are now and that they are just getting worse.
so im wondering, are things really that bad?

Did U ever wonder - if the end was so close - why were we building Kh's?
by AK - Jeff ini always wondered why we were not spending the money to build halls in remote and poor areas that needed them - but instead we would build new halls and sell old ones in places where we were seeing little growth.. every congregation in this area has built a new hall in the past 20 or so years.
yet the congs are the same basic size they were before.
most have had a least one major remodel since building new.

I have now felt all the tension drain away!
by AK - Jeff inwe finished franz' books just about 18 months back - and that nailed the lid shut on the watchtower coffin for wifey and i. but i just noticed in the last few weeks that i am starting to feel 'normal' - that is all the tension is gone now.
no guilt nagging in the back of my head, no concerns about being found out [we faded out].
as if it took 18 months to get the mind free and start the process of getting on with it!

Should JW's be trying to convert others to their faith?
by Rod P inif you think about it, what happens if one of the persons in a marriage gets converted to the jw religion, while the other one chooses not to believe?
or the husband is at work, and the wife gets to meet the jw at the door, has bible studies with them, gets converted, and then the husband wakes up one day and finds he is living with a jw mate.
what happens if a jw couple is out in the field service, and one gets converted to another religion, precisely as a result of doing the kingdom field service work.. in all of these instances, it results in a religiously divided home.

Do J.W.'s still spank their kids in Kingdom Hall libraries to punish them?
by hubert ini've heard a lot on this subject, and was wondering if it's a common practice?.
can you go to a meeting and almost always see some poor kid getting a walloping in the back room for talking or misbehaving at the meeting?
or is this a thing of the past?.

Bloody disgraceful behaviour of JWs!!!!
by Gill ini think that this week i may have seriously reached the end of my tether completely with jehovah's witness, or those idiots that claim that they're the ones that are only good enough to live forever in god's new system and the rest of us are bird food!.
i have posted a couple of times this week about the horrible things that have happened to my husband's grandfather due to his money grabbing, jw daughter and that was all bad enough.. my eldest son, is now carrying on a sexual relationship with a regular full time pioneer and is staying around her house while her parents are on holiday.
i'm not happy with my son either by the way but at least he's not claiming to be anything he isn't.

spiritualism
by Ellie in.
can i just ask, has anyone ever had any bad experience after buying anything from a spiritualist type shop?.
i ask because today i walked past a shop in my town that sells crystals and things and they do tarrot and that kind of thing, i picked up enough courage to go in to have a look and i saw this lovely fairy candle holder, i really liked it but i am a bit afraid to buy it as i guess i've had it drummed in to me that those things are channels for demons.
