3 generaition JWs
by happy man inwhen i read on this board this come to my mind.. my parents come in to the jw religion in the early 50 ties, the are what you can say very devoted jw, how are apsolutly loyal to the organisaition.
i think most of them have a nice life, they have learnd a lot o diffrent peopel, in sevice fore exampel, they have travel a lot , been on assambleys , have a lot of resposabilyti in the organisaition, and most of them are 70-80 year old now, they are still the ones how hold upp the diffrent congs, in many placeses.this is what i called first gen jw.. we as are there children was growing upp inn the truth, we was told this is the only religion, and it was no qestion, we must walk ther way, we was told we are living in the last generation, and so on, most of us in my generation follow our parents, i think 90 %, i see that a lot of peopel here is from this second gen jw,some have been very dissapointed, and leave , after serving alomost ther hole life in the organisation, perhaps some never study so much , was beliving what the parents say, and when something happend like this gen thing or 75, or bigger control , and harder dfd system.
some started to read a lot, and find things they never seen before, like all this 1925, 1944, prediktions, and also perhaps 1914 and what realy was said about that, or not said.. but a lot of 2 gen jw are still in, and try to do the best of situation like myself.. then we have third gen jw, our children, now start the problems, when we was young, it was not so comen to qestion your parents, suddenly this change, we find that our children was qestion evrything, and we have a very hard time to answer, the result is that a lot of 3 gen jw never was jw, or left wery young, in our cong we have 20 % left and 80 gone, myself of 5 children 3 are away, only one inn.. well how now whats best, one thing is clear, we as second gen was in some way forced in, it was not so easy fore us to say now, it was almost deadly sin to qestion things, i can not complain, fore me this life have been radher good, if i compare it widh what life my friends from the word have going truh.

Logansrun.....has arrived
by logansrun ini just thought i would post a little about myself here, even though some of you might know me from the "beyond jehovah's witnesses" forum.
my name is bradley and i live in a suburb of chicago illinois.
i'm currently twenty six years old and left the jws about nine months ago after a year and a half of intense doubts, many hundreds of hours of research, cognitive dissonance and bouts of vomitting (stressful, eh?).

Fanaticism
by Wolfgirl inthe common leader and his followers work mainly off of the desire to end isolation but the fanatical leader and his disciples incorporate the second primal fear, the fear of death, into the equation.
and by death i mean annihilation the utter obliteration of any and every bit of a persons earthly existence and legacy.
the leader who promises his people that adherence to his laws and teachings will not only relieve the pain of their isolation but also allow them to defy death, to achieve some kind of spiritual immortality through worthy deeds, that type of leader achieves a supreme control that the first type cant match and creates an entirely different kind of follower in the process.
