More Cultural Differences - Strictness Levels & Demographic
by creativhoney infrom what i read on these threads it seems to me that the usa is a lot stricter than the uk, in all aspects of the religion.
- is this a general cultural thing, ie a lot of middle america are still a godfearing bunch, or just a witness thing, maybe a bit of both, and if anyone could provide examples of strictness, lets see how the same situation would be handled in the uk?
and is it easier going in cities than the country counterparts?

What about posters who are active and agree with the org?
by creativhoney inhelp me out here i am confused.
- of course the internet is free for all and everyone has a right to their say, i appreciate that, and i am also aware that there are a lot of people who dont believe particulatly but do not want to rock the boat of their life - its easier to just take a backseat (though in my experience that made me ill in the end).
but i have noticed as i read, that there are some advocates for the organization who are active, practicing and believe it fully.. i was a jw for 25 years and in that time, bad association was mentioned constantly and then especially in the last ten years, the dangers of the internet and the warnings to witnesses not to surf or interact with websites that had an affiliation with jws unless it was the official watchtower.borg site.. now, correct me if i am wrong, but if people are active, practicing and believe it fully, then why would they associate with dfd and dad people on these forums?

Stupid Illustrations and why we thought they were so simple... (meat mixer)
by creativhoney in- if you mix all the parts of a meat mixer together in a tumble dryer for all eternity, you wont get a meat mixer.
'ahhh' says everyone, then creation must be true... if you mix all the parts of a human body together in a tumble dryer for all eternity you wont get a human?
thats insane.

My sister escapes, and is moving in with me...
by creativhoney inwell, i'm really happy to say that my sister has seen sense and exited.
she has decided not to go to the elders and have a judical because as she sees it, they have nothing over her and she does not need to answer them.. my family are very good at the ignoring.
- they have completely and utterly cut me off.

Are you an 'Ex Witness' or just you?
by creativhoney ini just wondered how people feel about this?
- do some only mix with other ex witnesses a couple of my friends, and it seems that by definition, they are 'ex witnesses' almost like a religion in itself.
- i would never define myself as an 'ex employee of xxx' as you leave it behind it doesnt define you.

Just another logical argument.
by creativhoney inheres a thought.. yesterday, i asked my ex what he thought about blatant hypocrisy that goes on, such as the reinstated girl still on my facebook, who posted all her halloween party pics up this weekend... he said he agrees there are a lot not living up to what they pretend to be, but its not the religions fault its the true religion and has gods backing.. i said why did he take his favour away from the jews and place it on the christians (theoretically).
he said because a lot of them werent following god.. oh said i. so does that mean he will take his favour away from the witnesses too?.
... (no because they are the truth he said) - so black and white arent they?
