I've been thinking, I was never a good JW as far as studing went, so I'm not the type to quote scriptures, and passages in the books and magazine publications put out by the JW's. But I heard enough being around them and what ever talks if any that payed attention too.
It seems like they try to scare you into their group. Who else feels that way? All the images they used to depict armagedon, and the way they interpit the bible to be literal and symbolic to their convienance, they seem to hve an answer for everything, and when thy can't come up with one to convince them selfs they quote some scripture about how there are things that were ment to be under stood at a later time bullshit.
They make you feel like your evil if you dont submit to their teachings, I don't know I,m just rambeling, My other posts that are up that didn't get responds is just me venting in my own strange way thanks all, see ya.

I would be the first one to put my hand up and agree with you there. They use Armageddon as a tool of fear, either follow us and our beliefs or you condemn yourself and your children to death. And a nasty death at that. What religious blackmail that is.
I believe that religion should centre on love and how to treat our fellow man, it should teach us about humanity and respect for one another, not death and destruction. Did the Jesus of the Bible teach by frightening people? No. I think the JWs are way off track.

I agree. And what goes around comes around.
Life is a roller coaster. Get in, sit down, shut up and hang on!
