Yes ,becoming an ex JW ,you learn to accept other viewpoints and lifestyles that were against WT/JW beliefs .
You become more tolerant and accepting of people for who they are and not what their lifestyle or beliefs are.

Would it be correct to equate Faith and belief in any God with superstitious belief ? I believe so.
by smiddy3 intheir are millions of peoples all around the world who believe in one god or another christian and non christian.. all of them pray to their gods for this, that, and the other.
by far the majority never hear god answer them audibly ,however most assume he answers their prayers or not , by what transcribes next in their lives.. you pray for what is right according to god and he answers your prayers ,otherwise your prayers are not answered .. those few who who do claim to hear the voice of god audibly are usually found to have mental problems ,either physical or emotional.. if you do good you will be rewarded either now or in the hereafter , if you do bad you will feel the wrath of god and his judgments.
i equate this with superstitious beliefs ,what do you think ?.

Why build a new movie studio when we are in the last part of the last part of the last day?
by Vanderhoven7 ingiles gray writes: .
if the end is so near as the jehovah’s witnesses leadership claims (somehow they must have special insight), why are they building a movie studio that will be finished in 2026?.
it’s not the first time something of this nature has happened in the society’s history.

Where is the power / electricity going to come from to run these movie studios ? Who is going to maintain and build more TV sets Movie houses so people can view the programs they are going to produce ? The movie cameras etc etc.
It looks like there is going to be a need for industries to be maintained and a workforce to be kept in operation during the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ .
It doesn`t sound like a paradise to me , same ole ,same ole.

Could end of November be special?
by Kosonen indid you know that noah entered the ark in the end part of november and also that jesus' followers flead jerusalem around 25th of november 66ce?.
could it be that a significant group of jehovah's witnesses would begin to flee to the "wilderness" in the end of november?
revelation 12 speaks about a flight of a symbolic woman to a wilderness.

What I have learned in my 82 years on this planet is that many ex JW`s leave the so called "truth" , however the so called "truth" never leaves them .
And that`s a pity.
They are still victims.
