Is the Watchtower "Question and answer" study a form of brainwashing?
by Witness 007 inask the question so it seems your having a reasonable debate/discussion.
the answers are clearly in the paragraph while people are encouraged to keep their comments short {no personal thoughts} and simple.
scriptures are qouted regardless of how trivial or stupid the ideas are {husbands and wives should not hug during prayer...stumbling luke 21 etc etc.

Does anyone think that maybe we're just wrong?
by paul from cleveland ini was disfellowshipped in 1995. even though i lost my friends and family, i felt like i had been finally set free and was happy for many years.
while i was a jehovah's witness, i always felt so miserable.
i never felt like i was doing enough to please jehovah.

Other religions I personally feel are much more giving than the Witnesss are
by Leprechaun injehovahs witnesses, they dont help people like the mormons do from their bishops store house, or the salvation army and a host of other religions, i wonder how they get away with that in gods eyes.
and even if youre a jehovahs witness you dont get much from the gb for working you ass off if they do it is a meager amount, or just donated time from others if your sick or something, they want people to work their asss off on some kingdom hall build for free food and donuts & coffee and if you fall off a ladder and break your back or skull just try to get compensated for your medical somehow from the gb, and watch their legal department send you a letter that will say your shit out of luck buddy, i wonder if that has ever happened.
