'Give me one reason I shouldn't be a JW.'
by Ephanyminitas inwhat would you say if a close friend was to come to you and say: "i've secretly been studying with jehovah's witnesses and i plan to join their organization.
i know how you feel about the witnesses, but i truly feel that they are god's chosen organization.
i don't really want to hear anything negative about the society, but out of respect for our friendship, i'll let you briefly mention one reason why i shouldn't.

Ex-Witness singles?
by Ephanyminitas inyou know, i'm somewhat shocked that there's no kind of singles area of the site.
how great would it be (for me, at least) to find a great ex-witness lady?
i guess no one is too worried about it though.

Defacing Watchtower materials
by Ephanyminitas inhey, folks.
just curious: did any of you ever deface your magazines?
i had a friend growing up in the congregation and, kids that we were, we'd snap up our new watchtowers and awakes and we'd draw our own captions for the pictures, usually with hilarious results.

JW Rules That Are Just "Too Much"!
by Ephanyminitas ini'm curious: what rules have you dealt with that were just "too much" -- whether they were "official" (i.e.
in print) or not?.
i think a good, general one is r-rated movies.

Evidence against JWs' view of disfellowshipping
by Ephanyminitas inmy father, an elder, is willing to speak with me about the society's view of disfellowshipping.
i actually think that today i put a chink in his armor about the whole thing.
(i'm very shocked, and just a bit hopeful.

Is Death the End?
by gilwarrior infor once i will try to post a serious topic so here goes.... most of us here have rejected most if not all of the jw teachings.
i (as well as most of you) certainly do not believe that armaggedon will arrive someday in the future and everybody who is not a jw will die and the witnesses that are left will rebuild the earth.. so, the question i have is this: what do you think happens when you die?.
do you go to heaven or hell?

Asking Questions At Meetings!
by SYN inreading the other thread about answering at meetings gave me the cold shivers.
there is a fundamental part of being a witness that i've never understood, that just seems so at odds with the philosophy outlined by jesus and the apostles in the new testament - why weren't we allowed to ask questions at the meetings?
hmm???.

My Thoughts: Satan's Defection and Mankin...
by Ephanyminitas in[note: this is an excerpt from a paper that i wrote a few months back.
i thought that i'd share it here.
realize that i'm a -- er, a non-thiest/humanist, so references to god are tongue-in-cheek.
