  What's the first thing you did when you got out?

  by fallen_princess in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking about all the things i missed out on growing up as a jw.

  many of those things i will never be able to do anyway, like join in any extracurriular activities or go to senior prom.

  but one of the first things i did when i got out if the borg was join a ballroom dance class and go to a nightclub with some of the students in the class.

  A Critical Examination Of Jehovah's Witnesses Beliefs

  by wearewatchingyouman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i ran across this document while searching for info on 607/587 a month or so ago..... i have to say it's the most in depth critical examination of what i like to call "the big 3"(144,000, arianism vs trinitarianism, destruction of jerusalem) i've ever seen.... it's basically from the catholic perspective, but i find that's good for research since that's basically who the borg pits themselves against.... i have to say that for the first time in my life the trinity as a philosophical concept actually makes sense to me... though i don't think i could call it a belief of mine.... .

  just a warning it took me a long time to get all the way through... anyways, if you enjoy this type of stuff check it out and let me know what you think!.

  On A Scale Of 1 to 10 How Much Knowledge Does A Jehovah's Witness Have About Their Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years (many decades) ago, most jws knew what their religion taught.

  they could go toe to toe with a minister or priest and make some good points.. i believe today's witness knows little about most of the convoluted teachings and revisions of the "truth".

  yesteryear's witnesses got a 9/10.

  Question for the men

  by SafeAtHome in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'd like the input of the guys, maybe some of you who have been married or in a serious relationship for some time.

  if you were having an affair and your wife found out about it, would you want her to tell you she knew?

  would it serve a purpose, that is, make you end the affair, or on the other hand, push it over the edge to be with the other person?

  WT Society Has to be Forced by Courts to Reveal Hidden Child Abuses

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in one of the new pieces of information in the new elders manual - section 5:18 - it shows how elders are instructed to keep all judicial committee information private from media or attorneys.

  keeping in mind how secretive the wt society has been in hiding child abuse within the jehovah's witnesses notice these instructions to elders now.. it states, " if a member of the media or an attorney representing the accused ( or possibly victims ) contacts the elders , they should not give him any information about the case or verify there is a jc.

  rather, they should give the following explanation, " the spiritual and physical welfare of jehovah's witnesses is of paramount concern to the elders, who have been appointed to " shepherd the flock ".
