Long time reader.....first time poster
by JWinprotest inhello everyone, my wife and i are currently associated with jw's.
my mom converted when i was 3 years old in 1975, my wife was born after her parents converted.
about 4 years ago however, my wife and i have seen many things that have discouraged us enough to start doing some research into the validity of this religion.

Some help please- advice
by leftbelow ini have a problem.
i knew this would come up but what has me questioning myself is where some of my resistance is coming from.. my wife and i have a baby on the way in nov. (a little girl) anyway my mom immediately started applying pressure to me to go back to meeting and of course to attend the convention.
that is not the surprise.

food at the proper time defense - help
by song19 innothing irritates me more than after spending hours showing a dub exactly why they are wrong and why they are false prophets... rather than defend themselves on each subject they all seem to go back to the food at the proper time argument and stop thinking.
its like everything said is wiped clear.. .
anyhoo, i am now left to contest that argument... before i do, i would like to get some of your feedback on good ways to overcome their broken record answer..

When I read stuff like this, it makes me think they know EXACTLY what they're doing
by Mickey mouse inthis article must have passed me by before (taken from the "jws and shrinks" thread).
now i understand the mechanics of cult mind control, i can see precisely why they make the statements highlighted in bold.
it does make me question whether the governing body are cognizant of their use of mind control.

Where is the Love

presently am an active witness in good standing with two teenage daughters.

Try not to be personal in your rebuttal
by donny inplease folks, there are not that many real jw's on this site who express their opinion, so try not to be so negative against the poster as i sometimes read.
you can dispute what they say all you want and you should if you disagree, but we should not look as if it's something personal when we reply.. i know many have been hurt by the society and i myself am angry that i wasted my 20's and early 30's with this organization, but none of the "angry" taunts and comments i received then are what led me out.
what did was reasoning and logic and any who apply it and really think about it, will eventually come to their senses.. don.
