Is the problem with the JWs or the Bible?
by sonnyboy inthis topic is a spin-off of another, but i'd like to hear people's opinions.. since the witnesses spew numerous biblical passages which seem to justify their beliefs and practices, who's exactly to blame for their less-than-human approach to life?
what laws do the jws live by that are not justified in some way by the judeo-christian bible?
is shunning justified in the scriptures?

What do you see when you look in the mirror?
by findingmyway inwhen i look at myself in the mirror i see a different person than i saw a few years ago.
also, when i look at photos of myself from a few years back, i don't even know myself.
not that i look that much different physically -- it has something to do with the eyes.

Eureka I think I've got it!
by Lady Lee ini was sitting here facing yet another box of jw books.
most of them were older books but 3 were those new paperbacks they are putting out.. so as i'm sitting there tearing these sad excuses for doctrine i was wondering why the society would change their format.
after all, they have been printing their books for eons and they are so easily recognizable.

My story of abuse and disappointment.
by ackack ini was raised in as a jw, and got batpz at 16. i started pioneer at 18 and got married when i was 21. i was made an ms at 22, and was soon giving many parts.. my brother who was also a pioneer, eventually stopped, even stopped going to meetings.
he placed a doubt in my mind about 607. he simply told me to look at the kingdom come book appendix.. i looked at the material and was ablt to rationalize it in my mind as secular vs. biblical chronology (which is a gross oversimplification).
as well, i knew some things being done within the orginization didn't sit very well with me.

Becoming a woman...
by Rubyvixen ini remember when i was around the age of 10 or 11, there was a book that jehovah's witness parents used in family bible study that had two versions (one for male, one for females) or maybe there was one and it just had chapters and i am remembering wrong.
i do remember vividly having to endure the rather male dominated view of what happens when a young woman enters adolescence and what a young woman has to look forward to in her 'duties' as a loyal wife and mother serving her husband *gags*.
does anyone remember that?
