    There are so many things the JWs spout off about that they say are "good" or "right" when the reality is completely opposite.

    Morality is one, as already exposed nicely by Cantleave. Add to that they really aren't any more moral than the rest of humanity. Plenty of sex outside of marriage, lots of alcohol abuse, and I'm sure they watch plenty of porn on the downlow. Drug use is probably lower, but then again they lie about how much the world uses drugs.

    Lying is a biggie with JWs, starting from the top down. When you lie about being God's mouthpiece, you pretty much lose any high ground when it comes to morality.

    All religions are known for something.

    Have you thought about how are JW's perceived by the public?

    As an embarrassing joke!

    Most people, politely, do not discuss their form of religion.

    JW.org teaches their free labor people, to go out and discuss their religion, all of the time, to go find God's little sheep.

    Do YOU think JW's should cram their brand of religion down everyone's throat??? What does knocking on private people's doors every Saturday mean to you? If I think they are God's ONLY way to salvation, I would go contact them, otherwise, JW's are BOTHERING aka bugging people. No one likes that. Normal people are too polite to generally kick JW's off their doorstep.

    But most people think JW's are weird.

    They think JW's are a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

    Is that the group, YOU want to spend your valuable time with???

    Its existence forced me to review all my beliefs with a critical eye.

    For those who take their dedication and baptism as one of JW's seriously, there's a lot of good in this religion. It becomes a way of life, in more ways than one.

    "Jesus said...: I am the WAY and the truth and the LIFE..." (John 14:6)

    They do not preach the good news of the bible which is Christ. So no.

    "a watcher " said : "it becomes a way of life". So ? Is that way of life consisting of doing good that benefits society in general ? (and I don't count trying to recruit more suckers in to the cult as "doing good".)

    The Governing Body has taken the place of Jesus 100%, John 14 v 6 is "Old Light", do keep up, " a watcher".

    Phizzy, JW's are God fearing, law abiding, peaceable people and we, like Paul, encourage others to become as we are. (Gal 4:12)

    u obviously are an active witness as am I. I no longer believe so I come on here and post and it doesnt bother me. Why doesn't it bother u to go against the Borgs counsel. Im honestly no trying to poke at you. Just curious about your reasoning.

    They are not political, I'll give them that.

    God, what would this country be like if there were JWs influencing policy? Bad enough as it is.

    It also does give a decent moral compass.

    I am stunned you would say that.

    The moral compass of JWs is totally screwed up. Once you eventually get away from the propaganda you will be amazed you ever thought that.
