ExJW similarities to ExMormons
by Christ Alone ini've recently noticed that many that leave the mormon church have very similar experiences to those that leave the watchtower.
i thought that since we have so many new people on the site, it may be that some of them are still leary of reading or watching experiences from exjws.
i found an exit story from an exmormon family, and much of what they say is similar to our experiences.

Who wrote this?!?
by Christ Alone ini was researching something completely different, and found this article:.
http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/sectionfront/life/survey-jehovahs-witnesses-pray-the-most-nationally-340983/.
the article (written in 2009) says: "on this national day of prayer, a survey finds that jehovah's witnesses are the most likely americans to pray daily, catholics are just below average and 5 percent of atheists claim to pray daily.".

Songs that apply to life as a Dub
by Christ Alone ini know this has been covered before, but i can't find the threads.... i just wanted to post some lyrics that reminded me of life as a jw.
i was wondering if there are specific songs that make you think of that time of your life, or apply to the wt directly (in your mind).
post the lyrics!.

How would a JW react to this?
by Christ Alone inthis video takes a while to get going, but pretty much starts around 3:30. i think this is a great argument regarding the implications of the wts information control (the "i" in the bite model).
professor hubner gives a great argument.
but do you think that this would get a "not yet doubting" jw to think about their position on not reading any critical information?.

Videos of JW preaching
by Christ Alone ini've watched a few of these videos of people either preaching to jws or jws preaching to others, and it really brings me back to my field service days.
i would hope that if someone said something different to me i would not immediately shut off my mind like this guy does.
i would hope that we could have an intelligent conversation.

How many of you identified yourself as an Atheist while still an active JW?
by Christ Alone ini've kinda been blown away by the claims on some other threads that many decided that god wasn't a real person while they were still a jehovah's witness.
i was wondering how many of you lost your belief in god while you were an active jw.
i'm not saying "lost your belief" in any negative way.

New Light and Reading Apostate Literature
by Christ Alone ini've been reading through some old threads, and one of barbara anderson's posts was so fascinating to me...i just had to share.
she explains how "new light" works it's way up the ladder to get approved by the gb.
she also brings out that there was a "closet" in the writing dept library that contained "apostate" books.

Beards are a privilege!!!
by Christ Alone in03:27 pm etamish leader, 15 followers convicted of hate crimes in beard attackssixteen members of a breakaway amish community in rural eastern ohio, including its leader, were convicted of federal hate crimes thursday for the forcible cutting of amish men's beards and amish women's hair.. sam mullet sr. and the 15 followers were found guilty of conspiracy to violate federal hate-crime law in connection with what authorities said were the religiously motivated attacks on several fellow amish people last year.. the verdicts were read in u.s. district court in cleveland following several days of jury deliberation and a trial that began in late august, a u.s. attorney's office said.
prosecutors said the 15 followers, at mullet's instruction, shaved the beards and cut the hair of amish people who had left his group over various religious disagreements.
five attacks happened in four eastern ohio counties between september and november 2011, authorities said.. to the amish, a beard is a significant symbol of faith and manhood, and the way amish women wear their hair also is a symbol of faith, authorities said.. the assaults violated the matthew shepard-james byrd hate crimes prevention act, which "prohibits any person from willfully causing bodily injury to any person, or attempting to do so by use of a dangerous weapon, because of the actual or perceived religion of that person," according to the office of the u.s. attorney for the northern district of ohio.. november 1, 2011: cnn goes inside mullet's compound.
