Were you a JW that "bend" the rules?
by Mr. Monday Night in
1. jw
2. friends
i knew a few jws (including some of my family members) who would go clubbing, concerts, play sports ,watch rated r movies and go to party's with "worldy" people.

at the same time, managed to live life in the "truth" (such as field service, give talks, hold the mic during the wt study, etc.).

were you one or knew a jw who was like that.

1. jw
2. friends
i have been feeling very blue and hopeless lately.

i miss my family and needed some affirmation that i am right in my characterization of the jws.

i called ray to hear it from the someone in the know, as to what really goes on in the gb meetings and if they really believe what they say.

How Many JWs Stay In & Are Not "True Believers"?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
how many are simply there because they don't care about religion and "where would they go"?.

how many have sold their souls just to remain in "friendships" and "family"?.

i think there are tons of jehovah's witnesses in name only.. .

How many kids never buy into the JW B/S???

2. beliefs
at the conventions, there always seem to be parents gushing about how their kids are 'in the truth', pioneering, etc.

i'm wondering how many jw kids just flat-out reject all the jw b/s right from the start.

surely there are some kids who just say 'no way!

Parents with JW Adult Children Shunning Them - How Are You Coping ?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
i do understand your plight - as i have 2 adult jw daughters shunning me aged 21 and almost 20. they married witness boys 2 years ago and it's been 1 year since i've spoke with my younger daughter, 5 months since i went to coffee with my older daughter.

i call them, but they won't return my calls.

i tell them i love them, but it's as if i don't exist.

I've had it... I'm gonna do it.
by Darklighter in
1. jw
2. friends
i'll be free from the bondage of the watchtower pharisees.. after over a year now of researching my belief in god and the watchtower society, i'm convinced that i can't live my life untill i'm out.. they finally just a few weeks ago deleted me as an ms, over six months after i asked them to.

that's a big relief.

they didn't get the hint from my 2 hrs.

Consequences of being a JW
by Regretful_J in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've been thinking about what its like to be born and raised as a jw and the mistakes that parents make as an almost direct result of this cult.

for one thing, the children are not allowed to think freely, and if they say or do one little thing their parents disapprove of, they are chastised and basically bullied into abandoning that thought or action.

another thing is that no matter what you do, and no matter how good your reputation is among friends, teachers, administrators, etc if you don't want to go to meetings, and don't believe in this faith, they do what they can to make you feel lower then dirt for this and will often resort to verbal abuse, and sometimes violence to force you to believe in them and conform.
