Prevalence of JW Suicides - Real or Imagined?
by AMNESIAN inin one or two recent threads i've seen reference to the possibility of a rising number of jw suicides being another of the organization's very dark realities about which it is vigilant in keeping concealed from its pub populace.
is there anyone reasonably informed regarding this?
is there reason to suppose the incidence ratio among jws is any higher than among any peoples/religion?

Freedom of Thought and JW Opposers
by dunsscot indoes freedom of thought really obtain in this forum?
are those who have left god's organization and jehovah god himself actually now more open-minded and unbiased?
if those who espouse atheistic thoughts or those who believe every vile utterance spoken against jehovah's people think they are now speaking from some olympian perspective, i beg to differ.

Why Are You Here?
by larc inthe question, "why are you here?
" is simple enough, and your answer may be straightforward.
however, when i asked that of myself, i find that my answer is pretty complicated.

ARENT WE ALL A BIT BITTER?
by josephus ini cant help but think some of you guys are just tooooo angry for your past hurts.. weve all got terrible stories which can make us cry, but whats the motivation for such bitterness ?.
some people search out pervets, seemingly to lay these scumbags and their faults at the societys door.. others try to use thier bad times as an excuse to rubbish the entire religion.. i am not saying that jws are great, or that the society is perfect or undeserving of punishment.. but why are we not trying to even up the good points of the religion.. no smoking, no drugs, no abortion, on and on, and on.. and then try to remember the good times you all had at the meetings.
the laughs and the help you gave, and received.

Appealing to the heart w/JWs
by Introspection init seems to me that a head on discussion about how the doctrines may not make sense wouldn't always work, in fact it would seem that it's an exceptional jw who sits down logically and concludes "hmm, yes i see my beliefs were incorrect, therefore i will change them today.
thank you for that very informative information.
" while it may sound trite, i think the key is to appeal to people's hearts.. i guess this often happens spontaneously and can't be planned, after all it depends on the state of mind of both parties involved.

2 standards one for the ORG. and one for others
by D wiltshire inthe wt will point so often to the faults of other christian religions and feel that proof that they are false religion.. but when it come to its self make every allowance and say well the apostle were imperfect or had wrong ideas.. this is totally double standards!!!!.
you don't need an organization to worship god.
if you want to be a christian just be a christian that's it.. for fellowship we may go to this or that group but we don't need this or that group to be a christian.
