Did you feel like a "kid" when you were a JW? (Give examples)
by JH ina few months, i had a bible study with an elder, and although i'm 45, and the elder was in his early 70's, the way the bible study went, i felt like a child being taught by his father or a teacher at school.
honestly, i felt like a 10 year old kid, being told when to read, what to read, and what to answer.
also, having to prepare and underline everything just to look like a good and obedient student.. i guess that all depending on what privileges a person had in the congregation, one either felt like a kid or a teacher.. even during assemblies, being told what hotel to sleep at , and what restaurant not to go to during the intermission, are all examples how as jw's, we were expected to act like obedient kids, without a word to say..

Lurkers in love with JWs.....NOW is the time to run!
by kid-A ini have noticed a steady stream of recent newbie posts from non-jws "in love" with active jws.
welcome to jwd and its great that you have found this resource.. as one other poster put it, its equivalent of dialing 9-1-1. a couple pertinent points to consider before pursuing the relationship further:.
1) you probably wouldnt have found this site if you did not harbour serious doubts about the watchtower religion.

organ transplant "contracts" proposed for JWs that refuse blood
by kid-A insome interesting points raised in this article by bramstedt: should organs be provided to jws who choose to risk the success of the operation by refusing blood?
should a non-jw's organs be transplanted into a jw that is willing to risk the outcome of the procedure by refusing blood, versus giving the organ to a non-jw, where blood transfusions will be permitted?
from: journal of medical ethics 2006;32:193-195transfusion contracts for jehovahs witnesses receiving organ transplants: ethical necessity or coercive pact?
