The worldwide unity of Jehovah's Witness
by paul from cleveland ineverything i read on this website and elsewhere indicates that the witness are extremely united in doctrine and practices worldwide.
when i'm reading comments here, i have no idea whether the person is posting from the us or some other part of the world (unless they say so).
everyone's experience seems to be the same wherever they live.

JW's view of apostates who die while "out"
by highdose ini wittnessed in my time several woe filled jw's apon hearing that one of their former members had died while out or the "turth".
the typical reaction was " we can only pray to jehovah that their heart condition was right at the end".
wtf!

SAD
by Cthulhu ini'm sure we are all aware of the condition known as sad (seasonal affected depression).
generally, for those who aren't familiar with it, this means that due, largely in part, to the lack of sunlight during the winter months, people experience feelings of depression.
however, i am curious as to whether you may have observed something similar, but rather opposite, and i would appreciate your input.

Watchtower Facebook Page Part 2
by treadnh2o inthe last thread turned into an apostate war which i found highly entertaining and did not want to hijack the direction it is going in.. however, what has completely tickled my fancy is the fact that almost 20,000 jw's are publicly thumbing their nose at the g.b.
counsel about these social sites.
these members have somehow justified in their minds their being there.

Tattoos/Piercings?
by Think About It ini feel like woody allen in the 1973 movie "the sleeper".
i leave in 1995, wake up 15 yrs later to see what has been going on in the jw religion and find out it is completely different from what i left.
i started a thread about beards, because i wanted to know how the modern day beard and goatee fad went over in the kh's.. now i'm curious about the tattoo, piercings and short or shaved hair look.

My story on ex-JW blog radio program...
by brizzzy inkinda cool, was asked by sacha wilharn (ex-jw and author of new book "no part of their world", about her abuse by her bethelite husband and escape from the borg) to share my story on "keepin it real", a blog radio program she hosts for ex-jws.
couldn't call in because i'm not getting cell service here in the uk, but i answered her questions via email.
thought they would just pick a few of them, but they read the whole thing and talked about my backstory for about 40 minutes!

How many of you were baptised at a young age?
by lepermessiah inone thing this site has made me reflect on the baptism practice in jw land.. many of us were raised in the religion, thus you were given the pressure early on to shoot for baptism as a goal.. i remember feeling bad because i waited until the ripe old age of 14 to take the plunge.. looking back, i realize that when i was 14, i didnt even know what my favorite color was, let alone have enough knowledge to make a life altering decision.
yet, growing up in that climate, i would say anyone who waited past their early teens to get baptised was viewed with great suspicion and was likely to be viewed as "bad association".
kids who took the dip at 8-9 years of age were viewed as "wise beyond their years" and the like.. how old were some of you when you were baptised, and what are your feelings on the matter?.
