They have ruined lives, destroyed people ..... mentally and/or emotinally...... Why?
And if they are hurt, some can still stay in and buy into the BS even if it means throwing out their own families?
Why, why, why?

I'm still angry, will this sect ever be stopped?

I feel the same way. It is so hard for me to understand how this keeps going on. I hate it.

What helped me is getting away from all aspects.. Even this board for awhile.
It won't make them go away, but it takes some negativety away from daily life.

Some, such as elders, stay because they like the power they think they have over other jws.
Some stay out of fear of losing family if they leave
Some stay because they are too brainwashed to be capable of independent thought, and just can't see what is wrong with the org
Some, an increasingly small minority, I suspect, stay because they genuinely believe that the wtbts do have the truth.

They are dying a slow death. With the information age they are losing their young people.-------and after all thats the only way they are making JWs-------------sex with other JWs.
Pretty soon it will be a bunch of 60s. 70s.and 80s old ladies there.-------------waiting for the Lord to come!

Thanks for the answers, I still want ALL, whats left of my family to get along and enjoy Christmas and a dinner together....but nothing doing. AND I MEAN NOTHING DOING. NO ONE EVEN TALKS TO EACH OTHER. I have a brother that died at age 19, I have another brother who lives 1/2 mile away but is so messed up from our upbringing we do not relate, my mom is 2 blocks away and she is shunning me even though I am not disfellowshiped. My father died at age 64 an apostate in my mothers eyes...
Welcome to the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The rest of the Family is in Chicago all my inlaws. THIS MY FRIENDS IS LIFE WITH JEHOVAHS WITNESSES EVEN IF YOU ARE NO LONGER INVOLVED!
They are masters at destroying relationships. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I believe that there are probably more ex-JW's than active ones. It appears that only a small percentage are willing to do anything in the way of educating the public about JW's. If JW's became publicly humiliated and shamed about their conduct, then perhaps they might quit, stop or change their conduct.

Aquagirl,
Thanks for responding, although I do not know you, I would have helped you in a minute. Its amazing how strangers feel the need to help neighbors and friends but the JW's don't want to help their own or god forbid, anyone in their own neighborhood.
Hope you are OK now.....:let me know.
