Had a question as a never-was JW.
by Bgurltryal inwhat are the feelings of jws towards worldy people they know?
i know if you're some woopdeedoo jw you didn't mingly with the 'worldy' but those who did or do or will or...argh...ok. they think 'wordly' people are going to burn and be destroyed in armageddon so if they have love or friendship for a worldly person how do they deal with this 'truth'?
do they look to convert?

I think I did it!
by freeman ini believe i have set the wheels in motion for what i believe will lead to my disfellowshiping.
i have been inactive since 1987 and still getting along with the witnesses (invited to gatherings etc.
) but something came up that finally push my buttons just enough to make me explode.

Just one day in the life of a 14 year old boy
by Stealth init was just one single day in the life a 14 year old boy, yet i can remember it just as if it was yesterday.. i had started working my very first part-time job attending gasoline pumps at a small service station.
i began this day with much anticipation, yet at the time not realizing that this one single day would prove to make such a lasting impression on my memory.
as i pumped gas for customers (remember when they did that), from my outdoor one room shack about the mid part of the day i noticed the sky began to darken.

mindset is the same as hellfire doctrine...
by Richie injust an observation; when a witness decides to write the congregation that he or she does not want to be associated anymore for personal reasons, why is it that this person must be disfellowshipped?
or why is it that if someone makes an issue about a wrong in the congregation such as pedophilia, and this witness decides to officially warn the elders about this wrongdoing or suggest to contact the police, that this person must be disfellowshipped?.
get my drift???.

JW's are very similar to Pharisees!!
by Richie inafter reading the book "crisis of conscience", i have now more than ever convinced that the jw's org is extremely similar to how the pharisees were "ruling" immediately prior to jesus' days on the earth.. this book is written in a completely unbiased fashion yet showing all the facts and irregularities being perpretrated from the top hierarchy.
it was portrayed by raymond franz in a extremely balanced manner for which i thank him profusely!!
any comments would be welcome!!.

at first i thought it was a meeting place for practicing jw's but after reading many posts found that most people here have been hurt or don't see things eye to eye with the wt org.
i am not a jw but i have been associating with them for about 3 yrs.

how WT directions can destroy lives
by Richie init is true that many persons have been disfellowshipped wrongly, but what is more disturbing is how a person's life could be so totally destroyed.
this reminds me of an incident that happened some years ago where a sister was disfellowshipped for this reason:.
she found out that her witness husband had been having sex with an animal.
