Unreal experience
by Billzfan23 ini told a jw friend who is aware of my fade but is not supporting me in it that i was convinced that if the elders read a letter from the platform stating that everyone in the hall should commit a group suicide - most people would do it.
good: people are devout.
bad: people are brainwashed and totally under control of the org.. ugly: this person did not disagree with me.. .

Never asks me questions of her own...
by onlycurious inmy employee and i have a friendship outside of work, even though i am her boss and about 15 short years her senior.
okay, i'm kindof a mentor friend.. anyway, she is a jw doing 50hrs a month in service and is a 2nd generation jw.
if it wasn't for her mom i swear she would jump ship.. i talk very openly about my faith, church, youth group, people in need and how we handle that...etc.. she never asks me anything.

Not talking about JW stuff has the opposite effect - regression phase
by truthseeker ini decided to take the advice of some of you here when i wrote about my situation.. i am married, but my wife is a die hard witness.
despite me showing her mountains of evidence and her actually accepting it, she is regressing back into jw think.. this has happened since i stopped mentioning anything anti-jw.. now she thinks that my problems with jw's were just a phase because i am not bringing up the issue anymore.. i really want to leave this religion, but i can't do that without losing her.. many here i know are trapped and some are still serving as elders.
i don't know how you do it, but i guess routine is routine.

QUESTIONS FROM READERS----CHECK THIS OUT!
by Mary inseeing as i have the wt in front of me today, i thought you'd enjoy the questions from readers from the february 15, 2007 article on the evils and pagan origins on toasting or clinking of glasses.
the article specifically mentions how not everything today that was of pagan origin is necessarily bad, and sites "wedding rings" as being of pagan origin, but it's not viewed like that now.
then, incredibly, they go on and say that while toasting might not be considered a religious practice today, there's "good reason" for christians to avoid it------without giving any valid reason why other than: do as we say:.

The 613 Laws of JW's
by avidbiblereader inthe witnesses always say they are free in christ, i beg to differ, i don't know how many stupid unscriptural laws they have but lets start a thread on how many dumb witness laws you know and have heard of that make no sense or completely unbelievable, it is like they have a second talmud.
cant have walt disney movies or stuffed animals as this is magical.
cant have beards.
