When I was told " You have to HATE what Jehovah HATES"
I was Like Humm, 'This can't be good' ... I went along, which just meant thowing good stuff I liked away...
I just remember that momment very well ...... YOU HAVE TO HATE!!! really?
this might be an unfair question for those who have been out of the organization for decades, but i'm wondering if any of you remember your earliest doubt -- maybe something odd that occurred to you as a kid (if you were a jw then).
please try to limit to two doubts at the most :-).
i think my first "doubt" was simply realizing that at the time of the flood, every animal that wasn't in the ark died (well, besides the fish, supposedly).

WHO REALLY IS THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY?
my vote is for the lord of the rings, all three of them.
or pretty much any star trek movie.
i tried watching the lor movies today, but my god, it's just battle after battle after battle and frodo, cute guy though he is, wimping out all over the place and having to be carried by everyone.. dull... i have never succeeded in watching those damn movies from beginning to end..
poker!!!
so boring ... can't see why any one can watch!!!
the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.
you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.
i always go to the beach like this!
The picture looks true because everyone in it appears to have never had any structured sports training...
as is the case as they are prevented extra curicular activities, I thank God for being 'out' during my teens and got to play sports.. It layed a foundation for good health and fun
I say this because I have 2 younger bros.. who were not allowed, they pretty much look like the clowns in the OP pic..

Ya'll have to know I was mocking with my comment..
here's a comment from some one on my face book page regarding the OP link.
They are not a church, they are a law firm hiding as a church, who does this in order to get pushed away on purpose so they can then file a law suit about their right to protest being a constitutional right and they usually win the cases. It is a scam to make money, they dont really care about the things they are protesting, which is that war and murder is gods punishment for homosexuality.

hey they are doing all this out of love... they are trying to save you from HELL!
i would like to see richard dawkins assume control.. he'd shake those paedophile loving twats up!.
THE POPE..
my 86 year old mother stopped believing she was going into paradise earth without dying first, about 10 years ago.
my aunt used to think she was going to make it through the great tribulation.
even a week before she died, she clung on to this fairy tale.. do you think jws believe they will never die at all and will, in their lifetime, be on a paradise earth to live forever?.
It's kinda of a big deal for them .. cuz if they get resurected.... they wouldn't have had to go out in service... and could have had some fun..
Didn't anyone else see this flaw in the Living Forever Gamble of your life
How many realize that, as per long-standing JW dogma, if you don't personally make it through the Great Tribulation, and survive that terrible persecution, you were never part of the Great Crowd in the first place. You would have spent your entire life mistaken, thinking you belonged to the Great Crowd class, when you weren't in it at all. When you die, you'll be no different than anyone else in the world who'll get their sins wiped clean in the resurrection.
this is what is what i was refering to. it doesn't matter if the big A doesn't come in your life....
