what has the watchtower really done for this world?
by JohnHag ini would really like to know the answer to this question--after me beeing in there for 32 years i still dont know what they have done to better the world---they leave as fast as they come in--if it was so great in the watchtower why did they leave?
there are only 6 million jws in the world--there is 6 billion in the world--all i have seen is a bunch of people like zombies---their answer to everything is field service----never call on a person that has doubts--maybe in a year they might call on that person--they rather knock on not at homes--looks better on the time sheet-it took 32 years to find out i wasted my time--too late now--sixty nine and counting--thanks for letting me share--the hag

Do JWs ever use their donations/WT profits to help the less-fortunate?
by sonnyboy ini was a jw for a number of years as a kid, but i don't remember them doing anything to help the community.
many churches in my area have soup kitchens, clothing/toy drives, and other services to help people in need.
do jehovah's witnesses ever use proceeds in this way, or are they all used to make more watchtowers, books, and kingdom halls?

Circumcision and the WT
by Sangdigger inwhile discussing the old law and circumcision today with a friend, it hit me that i had never heard the wts say anything about its modern day practice, but only discussed the historical part of it.
but considering how they love to spout out streams of knowledge concerning everything there is to know, i couldnt help but think somewhere in the last century or so, they either condoned it, or condemned it.
(of course based on the current light at the time) .

Which avatars ''appeal'' to you (credit to jt stumbler)
by MidwichCuckoo inafter reading jt stumbler's topic on avatars, i recognised that certain avatars appeal to me, and i'm sure others feel the same.... .
elsewhere (no idea why, gimme a clue), ezekiel3 (says a lot), euphemism (loved the marx bros) and googlemagoogle (so classical) spring to mind, oh, ip_sec's last avatar (the red pyramid) - want to revert back ip_sec?
oh, and stillajwexelder - after reading your posting on jt stumbler's thread i realise i previously had the wrong impression - lol.

Does Jehovah protect his "people"?
by sonnyboy inan an exjw, i'm well aware of the fact that they arrogantly think they're god's only chosen people.. my family used to be frequently visited by an elder and his family.
my family strayed from "the truth", and they would constantly come to our home and try to get us back on the "straight and narrow" path.. so, what happened to this elder and his family?
their adult daughter was accused of having sexual relations with a 13 year old boy.

Young JWs-living a lie
by Jez infor the past year, i have been observing the jw kids that i know.
i am in a unique situation as i work at the local high school, therefore see many of them on a daily basis.
let me tell you, 80% of them are totally undistinguishable as jws.

On Memorial Day in the US
by deddaisy inraised in a family of jws, i was taught that memorial day was a worldly celebration.
and i believed that the wts was right and all war was wrong.
as i grow older, and watch those born in a carefree generation grow, i pause and wonder what would've been if all the eighteen year-olds in the 1940s would've been jehovah's witnesses.
