well, i have been studying jws religion ,my cousin is a jw and i have visited him a lot of times.i have watched his way of living and things like that.i have been at the district convention last week.i read so many things from both sides.i came to the conclusion that if someone believes god exists then it is so easy and he should be a jehovah's witness.sadly its true and that is why so many people are and every year they baptised even more.. stories about jws reducing?wrong.. facing problems?

false.. everybody in the convention had an ipad ,iphones etc with the bible in it.

+ wifi .

i remember when i was a "devout" jws i could not wait to get the new watchtowers and awakes from the wednesday nite theocratic ministry school.

i would actually salivate thinking of the new information jehovah had in the magazines for us.

i was "franatical" and i would go home still in my three piece suit and devour the magazines that very nite.

JWs suck

sorry for the inflammatory header but jws suck.

they live a lie and live in a self-imposed bubble judging 'worldlys' as less than.

fine if they want to be in a cult and judge fellow cult members but if they are going to step outside that cult and live among worldlys than they need need to follow the moral compass of society and be held to those standards.

This is so difficult

so i woke up a few months ago and had no idea what to expect.

at first i was outraged that i had been lied to all these years and so sad that i lost so many years of my life to a cult.

in the past couple of weeks though, i've actually been having second thoughts.

It got to be hard being a JW today!!!!
by jam in

2. experiences
i can understand why they think the end is near.. in the old days, one was proud to be a jw (well maybe.

not for you young ones) but for us that came in the 60,s.

and 70,s, we felt no shame in our game.

My thoughts and observations re: the Memorial
by 144001 in
1. jw
2. friends
while sitting through my annual visit to a kingdom hall tonight, i had the following thoughts/observations:.

1. the speaker appealed to the kids: "how many here are 15 years of age or younger?

" he then went on to tell us how exciting it would be to "lie down" with lions that eat straw instead of flesh, and further discussed jw kids napping with leopards, bears, and cattle.

so i started going to church with her, and bible studies at her home.

in hindsight.... i found out that she made these moves a few days later when i showed up to her family's house for the study.

i stopped going to our church.
