what has most influence on JW's?
by sleepy inwhat or who , do you believe has the most influence on how jw's lead their lives?.
is it the watchtower mags, meetings, circuit overseers , governing body,peers,or something else?.
i was trying to think about what most influenced me and i think it is the group pressure we recieve in the org that pushes us most to do things.

just a thought about baptism......
by scootergirl ini have been reading (...and reading...and reading) about how many of us were baptized at an early age (early teens) and how many of us have suffered the consequences of leaving the "truth" because we were baptized..... if it is such a major comittment why are young people allowed to be baptized?
i mean, at 13,14 or 15 if many of us would have told our parents that we wanted to get married-how many of our parents would have allowed it?
hell, i could have taken a written test about marriage and passed and been ready for marriage, right?!

What's the one thing you miss about the WTS?
by Naeblis inthere are times when ilook back fondly on my days in the witnesses, especially when i think on the congregation get togethers we would have every once in awhile (not too often) people from our hall and sometimes others would show up (not too many) and good times were had by all.
this is how the schedule usually went.. 8pm: arrive at the community centre.
8:05pm: scope the room.

Who Pays The Ferryman....?
by hillary_step infrench philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
" a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.
this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.
