Weird Jehovah’s Witnesses
by minimus inis it my imagination or are most witnesses weird, odd, and “different “?
it seems every congregation has a couple of weirdo elders, pioneers and ministerial servants.
and then you see those witnesses who attend meetings but most people seldom associate with them because... they are eccentric..

by minimus inwere you so indoctrinated that you just couldn’t leave?

This Forum is used by Bethel rodents to address member doubts in future magazine studies
by Tenacious indon't you find it interesting how some topics and explanations on this board are sometimes addressed in magazine studies?.
for example, i remember commenting (i'm sure it had been mentioned many times before) not too long ago about how the organization uses the "spirit led" phrase in their baptism question.
and this naturally tells members they are indeed claiming divine guidance.

If You Criticize A Person of Color Are You A Racist?
by minimus inseriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!
if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.
if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.

The suffering and anguish that “NEW LIGHT’ has caused.
by I believe in overlapping inthe watchtower paints new light as a blessing from jehovah.
they have convinced the members that the way jehovah works is that he reveals information in small spurts of truth.
and little by little the path of all those following the instructions becomes clearer and clearer.

Is the Governing Body under estimating the volume of those waking up?
by I believe in overlapping inwith all the scandals of the organization, it would .
be sound and logical from a human or strategic viewpoint,.
that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.

I hate it when they say; “Don’t worry, Jehovah will take care of it”
by I believe in overlapping ini happen to run into a couple of elders and one of their bible studies was with them.
after we said our formal greetings to each other we caught up on each other’s history.
somehow the conversation took a turn into politics.

My own mother would rather see my death
by GetMeOutofHere inapparently, according to my mother, the worst thing that could happen to me is not dying in a car crash or getting cancer but instead would be me leaving jehovah and his organization.
i of course realize this is the position of jws but to hear my own mother verbalize it on a gentle walk in the woods was painful to say the least.
needless to say, i cannot tell her i am mentally out..
