What or Who do JW's believe is Gog/Magog?
by booker-t inwhen i was a young kid in the 70's and we studied the "nation shall know that i am jehovah" book it really scared me especially the part of gog/magog.
they way the elders would constantly tell us that we did not love jehovah enough and we should do this and do that.
i remember one time the bookstudy conductor told my bookstudy group that "if you all don't want to be part of gog/magog you should pioneer".

4 JW families in my neighbourhood; no new tract delivered to anyone yet!
by WingCommander ini find this astounding, and really speaking volumes of the "preaching work" being done by the jw's today.
i live in a nice developement with sidewalks, street lights, etc.
by my count, there are about 4 jw families in my associated neighbourhood, with one family living diagonally across the street from me.

Why all the secrecy?
by joe_black inrecently, my fleshly brother, who thinks he's a jw(apologist), handed my somewhat naive wife the tract "the end of false religion is near".....he was being somewhat covert she told me.
he told her don't tell anyone where she got it from, not to tell even me (which she did)...why all the secrecy?
he was acting like he was handing over some secret documents or something, this is nothing new.

"When Does it Get better? Getting Past the Deconversion Process".
by scout575 in"thought i'd start a thread about deconversion and invite some senior ex-cs to give their thoughts on the process.
i've noticed that a lot of recent threads are about the problems newbies are having, from doubts, fear of hell, alienation from family members, losing old friends, etc.
some long-time deconvertees especially seem to have had a hard time adjusting to life on the 'outside'.".
