that's what i've been feeling lately!.

i've seen the light that the "truth" isn't the truth, but my husband is an avid believer.

i went to the sunday circuit assembly and came back all riled up with all the nonsense.. the sunday program was on ''safeguarding your spirituality''.

''it is better to remain single and not marry.

that gives you more time for studying and the preaching work.

by LittleSister in

today i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.

prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.

he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

Dubs - Paradoxes From Hell

dubs - paradoxes from hell.

jesus said his yoke was kindly and light.. dubs brag their religion is the "hardest religion in the world.".

the bible tells children to honor their parents.. the wts tells children to betray their parents.. if dubs really live in a "spiritual paradise," why do their lives have to be threatened to stay in it?.

What Do Jehovah's Witnesses Stand For?
by minimus in
1. jw

i know what they don't stand for.. they do not celebrate holidays, believe in getting involved with the "world", vote, take blood transfusions......well, that's not really so.. if a christian (jw) wife was told by her "unbelieving" (non-jw) husband to help decorate the home for christmas, she could do it!

if he wanted her to go to a christmas work party, she could attend.. a jw has to be totally separated from this world.

politics is a no-no.

Jehovah's Witnesses---A Religion That Does Nothing For Anyone
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
the reality is: jehovah's witnesses benefit no one but themselves!.

they don't contribute to society.

they refuse to get involved in local interests because that would constitute violating their neutrality.. if sexual abuse allegations are made amongst their members, unless two witnesses can attest to the molestation, they refuse to get the "superior authorities" involved.. they claim to be doing their neighbors a "life saving" work but the reality is that they simply are pests to their "householders".. they are a tax free "religion" and they do not pay taxes.. they are judgmental people and regard the "world" as "worldly" and in the "power of the wicked one".. and if the individual members do not conform to the organization's dictates, they might very well be "shunned" and regarded as "dead".. why anyone would want to be a jehovah's witness is beyond me..
