Flaws in jw religion
by adam1989 inhi there been reading this forum for a few weeks and this is my first post.
i recently came into contact with a person who is a jw and although we respect each others religion she has recently started preching that the end is near and how much we should hate this current system.
we talk about the jw religion and she accepts my views when i question what she believes.

Anti-witnessing
by Highlander induring my time as a j-dub, it was encouraged to take every opportunity to informal witness with people.
a good example would be to witness to a co-worker.. i avoided this as much as possible when i was a dub.
if the topic of religion came up at work i would try to change the topic or gracefully exit the conversation.. now that i'm far removed from this cult, i find myself taking every opportunity i can to anti-witness against the j-dubs.

Has anyone concidered going on a talk show about the JW's?
by megsmomma innot to "hash out" some "personal" issues, but to give the general public the "proof" that the society is spewing nonsense to it's members time and time again about the "end is coming" for all who are not jw's.. it would be easy to get the proof with the recording that we all have access to on here.
does anyone want to try to contact the different shows with this?
there are plenty of us who do not care who knows about our views and have nothing to "lose".
