JW Youths - Living "Double Lives"
by BBOARD ini grew up around very hypocritical jw youth.
many of whom i now know at 20 were never living up to the lie they put out ... stupid me i was.
here i stand now because of it - i am sure most of you here being ex-jw's know this very familiar situation.

JW 's - "We are not like those of the world"
by BBOARD in"we are not like those of the world!".
"if jehovah was looking at you could he tell the difference between you and a wordly youth?
every f'ing time a brother gives a talk for the youth in my hall in seems he always brings up these two phrases.

I was told I sound like an Apostate
by senora inso i'm in the process of ditching my jw friends and one of them tells me that i'm starting to sound like an apostate why??
because i'm going to yet another congregation and she feels that i should stay in one cogo to get established.
first of all i'm about to go into a foreign language congo wherein i speak half the language and want to be fluent in that language, but my real reason is....i don't want friends and family finding out about my fade so they won't start calling me and bugging me.

JW's and an economic crisis...
by Mickey mouse ini was thinking the other day, during the economic crisis of the 1930's the r&f witnesses probably thought armageddon was imminent and didn't do enough to ensure their physical wellbeing.
now supposing there was an economic crisis to take place now (the odds are pretty good from what i'm hearing).
how many dubs will foolishly sit on their backsides waiting for jehovah to intervene, or worse still, look to the society to provide for them?

Is it allowed to make a "interested" unbaptised person an ATTENDANT?
by BBOARD ini am simply asking a question.
calling all ex-jw's in the know.
if a person has been coming to the meeting regularly and is on the tms can they, by the book, be made into a attendant without any declaration to "serve jehovah" aka baptism.

by BBOARD ini for one will.
i operate a small time book selling business on amazon.com and nothing would make me happier than to see my competition's website (ebay/half) slow down ... even if for just a while .... what are your 2 cents?

My JW Experience
by BBOARD inthe stress in the day to day scenario for a jehovah witnesses trying to live their life through the wtbts is the same that cause them to work harder until they either work even harder, fade away, or suffer a mental breakdown.
fear of reproof or divine punishment from jehovah, not love for jesus, grips their day to day activities as they feel they must fulfill their duties of preaching and attending meeting.
many who came into the organization in the 90s; came in due to the friendliness of the people and not the reality of the cult.

Lack of hobbies and personal interests prompts some to pioneer
by truthseeker insome in my hall are bored.
they've either been laid off or they've taken a break from pioneering, whether its regular or auxiliary.. they have little in the way of personal pursuits or interests.. to fill this apparent lack of personal development and self fulfillment, they reason it is better to spend time in the ministry.. then when personal problems arise, they quit.
they can't keep up with the routine.. they get bored again and unfulfilled.
