living in a bubble
by inbetween inlast weekend we were invited at a family of jw.. they are some decent people, reasonable, realistic, balanced, having good jobs and a house, certianly took care of their future pension, and will give their child a good education.. you can discuss with them many different topics, and they are not blind to mistakes of brothers or even the leaders.... however, they are dubs, both being raised in the "truth", they dont know anything else really..... we have quit a number of friends like that, being down to earth, not extreme, have a good life, and still "strong" in their faith.... the other day, we also did a congregation-trip, and while you find everywhere some selfrighteous puffed-up "pioneer", "wannabe-elders" or real"elders" or "elderettes", most of the folk was fine, no worry about anybody behaving badly, getting drunk or something like that.. i was thinking, it wouldnt be so bad to be a witness, if...... yes, its the "if" that makes one worry., the mind-control thing of the gb.. anybody going through similar thoughts ?.

If there is one thing worth campaigning for within the JW religion...
by Mickey mouse in...i think it's discouraging the practice of baptising minors.
jws love to say "we don't have infant baptism" but given the fact that many witness children are baptised in their early teens or before, they may as well be infants.
since this action opens them to possible alienation from their family (due to judicial action), i think this is the achilles heal for the wbts.. .

Is a Public Display of Rage, a D'fing Offense?
by jamiebowers inhttp://www.slate.com/id/2228410/.
cursing, then, is a sin among jehovah's witnesses, but it's a "nonjudicial" one-meaning it's not sufficiently grave to merit formal censure from witness elders and cannot lead to "disfellowshipping" (expulsion from the congregation).
infractions for which you might be disfellowshipped include abortion, sexual abuse, adultery, heresy, and murder.

"Hey mom, I'm home!"
by dissed ina jw called my wife to talk business yesterday, and voluntarily mentioned her son was living with them again.. now you have to understand, we have not associated with the jw's for 13 plus years.
so it took my wife by surprise that a jw, knowing our situation, would mention this.
but it gets better, there is more to this story.. she then volunteered, he's been living at home with them for over a year since.......bethel "re-assigned" him as she said sarcastically.. "how long was he at bethel?
