Does anyone here celebrate holidays? Why?
by Rocky_Girl ini didn't originally celebrate anything, but when my oldest son started school i decided that it was unfair to put him through what i went through in school.
i have to admit that i am loving the holidays, even though some of that old mindset tries to make me feel guilty.
we focus on what the holidays mean to us as a family and enjoying time together.

What is the Organization Trying to Acheive?
by The-Borg ini don't understand their mode of operation.. if they want lots of growth, why don't they just lighten up a bit and dispense with the whole charade of harshness and disfellowshipping.
encourage charitable works, social gatherings, education, freedom of speech, having a family etc etc etc.
this would greatly increase their numbers and their bottom line $$.. they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot at the moment.

Teaching lies.
by Anti-Christ inwhen a person no longer cares about the past, they will accept the present without question.
the witnesses we talked with are always interchanging the gb/faithful and discreet slave for example, even if you point out the origins of each.
doesn't matter.

Do you ever shed the Jw experience?
by AK - Jeff ini have been out for 5 years.
my wife and i left together.
she saw the sham long before i did - though neither of us could 'put our finger on' what was wrong until we read coc, found the internet, etc.. i believe my wife leans toward atheism more than i do - i consider myself agnostic of the whole matter at this point.

why do elders ask such personal questions when deciding whether to disfellowship
by looloo ina friend of mine was asked if she had become "moist" along with had penetration actually taken place , why is that necassary to ask along with did you fondle breasts etc surley they could keep it short and ask if the "deed " was done , yes or no ?
why all the other questions ?
she was only 19 with no experiance of life and sex and was so embaressed she could not answer and was disfellowshipped for being "cocky" any ideas ?.
