Why On Earth Did You Ever Become A Witness & What Made You Decide To Leave?
by minimus ini've known for years that if i was visited at my home by jehovah's witnesses, i would have become a do not call.
i would have firmly but politely told the witnesses to never come back to my door and bother me again.
since i was raised "in the truth", i learned the religion from infancy.

Disfellowshipping
by Gadget inhi, i wonder if someone can give me some information on the disfellowshipping/reinstating process.
i appealed my disfellowshipping and at the appeal hearing they went to deliberate.
they spent 10min on their own, over an hour with the original committee, then 5-10 min on their own again before disfellowshipping me.

Quick Builds
by Gadget inhas any body any idea how good the workmanship is on quickbuilds?
normally if you get a group of people who don't know about building you get chaos.
i know a few years ago they were changed from 48hrs to 2weekend, something to do with not being able to lay the bricks fast enough, new legislation limiting how many courses could be done in a day.

Imagine If The Watchtower Apologzed For Their Sins
by minimus inone thing that is commonly brought up is how the society has made so many mistakes and uttered so many false prophecies.
i just wonder what would happen if the watchtower ever came out and asked forgiveness for their sins and asked to start a clean slate.
(you know, like the pope did a couple of years ago).

Did You Support Children Getting Baptized?
by minimus inafter reading blondie's thread of the baptisms at the district convention, i couldn't help but identify with the 11 year old that said she was so happy to be baptized and has wanted to be baptized for years now.
i was 9 when i got baptized but really wanted to take the plunge at around 7. after my mother talked to the congregation servant about my desire, he said that she should not hold me back.
my daughter was 14 when she got baptized.

Discipline or abuse - Which?
by Lady Lee ini am having a discussion on another board about the topic of disciplining children.
some people seem to think that as long as the child did something to "deserve" it then the parent has the right to hit anyway they want.. grrrr.
many of us grew up in a society that accepted the practice of corporal punishment.

JW's How do you see whats odd here?
by Its so simple inyou never here about compassion for mankind unless it's at the end of the guilt sentence of ' you have a responsibility to preach'.
if you ask a specific question to 50 catholic's or mormons, or bahai's, whatever, you will get at least 45 to 50 different answers.
if you ask a specific question to a jw about meeting attendance, birthdays etc you will likely get the same answer from 48 of those 50 people.
