Why Did You Get Baptised
by God_Delusion inhi guys,.
so then, why did you get dunked?
were you pressured into it too, or did you do it because you honestly thought it was the right thing to do?.

Should Employers be WARNED about Jehovahs Witnesses
by BlindersOff1 inany gov agency or private company that has private personal info of customers/clients should be aware.
its common knowledge to long time witnesses that jws will violate customer privacy laws and rules when they see something a customer does or buys that they think jw congregation elders should know about .
thats right they will spy for the elders.. .

I'm surrounded by Witnesses!
by Anony Mous inas some of you remember, i was quite active last year on here, getting out of the cult and in the process losing my wife, having my child kidnapped by wife under supervision of elders, long drawn-out custody and divorce disputes which came out largely in my favor.
all of that is nearly over, the judge is signing off on the last pieces of paper.. so what happened since?
got a girlfriend, got into different lifestyles and i am for the first time very happy with my life.

Today's watchtower study... Ugh.
by OneDayillBeFree inwatchtower studies like today's really make me feel anger for this cult.
i mean almost all of them do but this one is one of those articles that takes things too far.. i mean they are condemning the people who are trying to help/save the earth because it's "satan's" world and instead are saying that religious salesmen with magazines are doing way more than the others!like are you f**king kidding me?another reason why i hated this study article is for what some of the young ones did in response to the study.
as one was unwrapping a piece of candy, he decided to throw the wrapper on the ground.

What are the things you dislike most about JW's?
by Chariklo intop of my list has to be hypocrisy.
it runs right through, from elders downwards.
the literature and the gb are bad enough, but the bit that touches ordinary people, householders, students and ordinary rank and file is the false goodness that they put on like a raincoat.

Double Standard re: Baptism
by lostinnj83 ini was speaking to my mother earlier this week, and she was mentioning about someone in her hall that was in the hospital.
this person was never mentally "present" even prior to getting baptized.
my mom said out of the blue "why would they allow someone who is mentally incoherent to make such a serious commitment as baptism?".

DYING TO PIONEER!
by The Searcher ini was talking with an elderly sister today, and she brought up the topic of pioneering in march & april.
she then mentioned the elderly brother who has an extremely serious condition who was used to explain to the congregation, how he would adjust to be able to get the pioneer hours in.
it became 100% clear to the sister (and probably others) that this brother could die by pushing himself so hard.. loving shepherds, prove it - don't sanction such ones to enrol for such a life-threatening exercise.
