I may lose my wife because of Disfellowshipping
by freedomfighter inhave only been out of the organisation for 2 months and the wounds still run deep.
particularly hard is the fact that my wife and 8 yr old son are now divided in our beliefs.
we cannot go out as a family with our old friends like we use to.

NBC report and the WT insulting position
by Hiddenwindow init is a real shame that the wt acts this way, keeping things barely legal, reporting cases only when mandated by the aurthorities, while showing an obvious disregard for the victims.
it is deeply sad that jw children are being protected, not by the wt, but by the media and the so-called apostates, because it is only after the exposure that the wt has started to turn this into a real issue.
and, as said by others in this forum, they are still missing the point.

Why God permits wickedness..the argument and counter logic
by wherehasmyhairgone inwhen i was a pioneer i used to get the comment a lot, as i am sure most here have.. my stock answer was the analogy.... wt 2002 10/1 page 7 as an example.
imagine a father allowing his child to go thru a painful operation in-order to get better...hence why god permits suffering.
anyway i used to trot this out without any counter arguments.. even when i left, it still seemed a reasonable explanations, then something clicked.

Lying is okay
by Hiddenwindow inthere are several doctrinal explications in the wt literature about which the average jw is not aware.
one that has always puzzled me is the definition that the insight book gives to lying.
it explains that lying does not mean to provide false information, but that it means to give wrong information to whoever has the right to know.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not a cult and here's why I think so
by B_Deserter inwhen most people think of "cult" they think of the people's temple, the branch davidians, or heaven's gate.
many also want to put jehovah's witnesses, mormons, and scientologists into this group.
i don't agree with that because there is one main difference between true cults and high-control groups like jws:.

Only a few are interested in the truth
by Hiddenwindow init occured to me that most jws, as many other religious people are not really looking for the truth; they are rather interested in certain degree of spiritual or emotional confort or at least the illusion of such confort that can be found in cults or religions.
truth inhabits the realm of the intelect, and the intelect is of little use to religious people.
what do you think?.
