To what degree due you think "Internet killed the "Jehovah's Witness" radio star."
by Witness 007 ini remember getting my first crapy computer for $200 bucks and clicking on the internet for the first time....i said to myself: "i may just look up my jehovah's witness brothers on here.....free minds watching the watchtower hmmm .
so the nails in my faith coffin began to be hammered in rip.
so how big an influence was the net in your leaving?.

Just write something completely goofy!
by awildflower inso this is inspired by my favorite poet edgar allen john doe!
sometimes we just need to say something completely goofy to relieve tension and have fun.
the pineapple king, with a feather in his hat and a spring in his step, finally helped the chicken cross the road!.

JWs growing in numbers despite opposition and criticism from apostates and other religious commentators. Why?
by african GB Member ini believe there are now over 7 million jws worldwide(correct me if i am wrong).
what makes this growth possible despite all the exposure on the internet and other media?.
not forgetting court cases and lawsuits.. is this not a sign that perhaps this is the true religion?.

A hopeful but weird and funny dream I woke up from about my old Jehovah's Witness friends and family
by Butterflyleia85 ini had a weird dream last night, a dream i'd love to come true in a sense.
i can't remember all but the bits and peices had my mom, my old best friend lacey and another friend that wasn't from my hall but a good friend crystal, it did have my grandma and sister but they weren't in it as long.
my mom and i were in the car together she said she's been talking to crystal and she too had seen some sorta evidance that jw's were wrong, wrong and actually became worse about menipulating the people.. (in reality crystal has always been a bet rebelous and i didn't understand how she could do things she did and be a jw but i was thankful for her kindness when i got reinstated, she was the only one that actually wanted to hang out with me.).

Would you accept a microchip implant?
by MarkSutter inassuming the governments would pass a law requiring everyone to have a microchip i.d.
implant with gps tracking capabilities, storing your personal and financial data but also record all your movements.. would you be for or against it?.
personally i don't have a problem with it but i'm just wondering , what would be the drawbacks for the normal, law abiding citizen?.

Are JWs discouraged from seeking mental help?
by Kristina1972 inmy husband was raised in this religion, but was never baptized and does not go to meetings, although my mil is heavily involved.
although my husband doesn't practice his religion, he believes it is the truth and i hate asking him questions, because he is very defensive of the religion.
he and his mother, many years ago before i knew either of them, were treated for severe depression and hospitalized (at different times as a result of them going through divorces.
