Research can be exhausting
by homeschool in....and i can completely see why so many jw's take what is given to them as opposed to doing their research.
in the appendix on the book (pgs 195-197), it talks about how jesus' name can be pronounced in many different languages, just as our own names may be pronounced differently.
so why do the jw's go solely with the english proncunciation of "jehovah" universally, when really, they could have chosen just to go with yaweh from the get-go, since that is truly the closest to the original yhwh?.

Would you tell the in-laws?
by homeschool inlong story short: i threw a bday party for my newly faded hubby a few weeks ago.
well, one of the guests ran into hubby's jw father & said "yeah, it was great to hang out with ___________ @ his birthday party the other day!
" (to which the jw father later told us he acted totally cool and went along with it but was like .

Does the WBTS have downloads/scans of ALL their publications & Drama talks?
by homeschool ini downloaded that one talk from fred franz about "what does 1975 mean to us".
if i were to show that to my family & they ask where i got it from, what could my response be?
if they sense "apostate" thinking, their brains will automatically turn off..

Why's everybody getting divorced????!
by homeschool inthis is insanity!
literally four couples that i know closely & personally have told me in the last two weeks that they are divorcing their spouses.
and there are a couple on here whom i've discovered are separating as well (these two i do not know personally, but i'm a little surprised & saddened regardless).

Losing the Ego, easier said than done
by homeschool ini've read steven hassan's combatting cult mind control, and i can see that it's impossible to say anything negative about their religion/cult.
thats just really stinkin' tough when you have proof and evidence of things and they are in lala land about their cult!
about ten years ago, i was a lot more outspoken about how i felt about the jw's, but have since grown up a bit.

The Trinity Video...will JW's watch it?
by homeschool ini had my extremist jw sister and her husband over the other day because i'd asked some questions regarding the new light and 'the generation'.
i've never heard her husband speak so much and i wish you could've seen how condescending they were.
"oh homeschool.....hmmmm....let me see how i can explain this so you can understand" (i was thinking 'oh boy, you have no idea').... .

Does this site only make you angrier?
by homeschool inhubby says this site is making me obsessed, in a way that's making me angrier and angrier about jw's.
it's been almost every single day that i read a thread that seriously gets under my skin or makes me sick about them.
he's right, there's a lot on here that will only fuel my fire and help me to go into an angry spiral instead of bettering my life and forgetting about all the stuff i hate about the witnesses.

Open Minded Christians?
by homeschool indoes anyone know if there is such a thing as a christian church that loves and appreciates jesus, but also recognizes that it is purely a culteral thing and also acknowledges other religions as truth?
are unitarians like this?
i'm getting to the point where i'd really like to find a group like this.
