Are JW's only in it for the New System?

would some stay?

Serena thanks "Jehovah" after US Open...
by jack2 inserena williams, after winning the us open women's tennis championship tonight, thanked "jehovah" for blessing her family.
in the background were numerous us flags, and of course, prior to the match, the williams sisters were there and standing while various patriotic songs were played (oh, that's right....they were already standing since they had to walk out onto the court....guess that's okay).
while watching all that i could not help but think of all the jw youths who have been told that they could not particicpate in organized sports at school or otherwise.

finally got the nerve
by livingagain ini have been reading posts here for several months, which has helped me to keep from going insane.
my doubts came when i finally got the nerve to leave a bad marriage, why did i stay so long.
because i was ashamed and really scared of what "jehovah" would think of me.

Our Minds were Raped
by LovesDubs ini also realized this.... did you know that for every article that you went over in a meeting, that you read and heard the information four times?.
you read it, then underlined the answers...then it was read again in the hall and reiterated again in the answer!
four times people!!

We're busier than ever !
by Simon inwell, despite some 'doom and gloom' predictions of our imminent demise, last week was the busiest ever for the site in terms of visits with just a few short of 52,000 beating even the dateline and panorama weeks !
(i think quite a few who found us then have stuck around).. a quick tally of the thread viewed counts shows that they have now been viewed over 9.5 million times !
(this is just threads, discounting all the other page views).

Were you df'd while suffering depression???
by Pistoff ini have a son who was disfellowshipped while suffering serious depression and who was not actively "sinning".. i feel this is outrageous and want to know how widespread the practice is.
