i will say that one of the most distasteful teachings for me is the idea of praising, thanking, worshiping, god every day for all eternity.
what kind of ego needs that?
like if i ever saved a person's life i would say buy me a bottle of scotch and we'll call it even.
Actually, I was ok with praising, thanking, worshipping, loving God & all of that...
What I was NOT ok with is the teaching that BILLIONS of people would be destroyed simply because they are not convinced that we have "the truth"
That was one of the main reasons that led me to wake up
i hate being lynched by my family for being skeptical or rational.
witness treat you as though all morality and good end with belief in the ot god yhwh.
so even if you met or exceeded their moral level and you even doubted his existence.
adam and eve story does not follow the common logic..
1) children would never believe a lie (especially from a stranger) against their father who has already proved a supreme benefactor to them!.
2) if even if they believed, normal course of action would have been to wait!
sooooo funny!.
the spot that is used by the local cong in our town for the literature cart has been taken over by another church group!.
the witnesses arrived to set up, and another group was in the exact same spot, with a table, and brochures and a sign..... it will be a great thing as it dilutes the effectiveness of the witness activity, by making it look confusing to the local town people!.....
Most common & overly-used JW excuse: "The end is around the corner, but we do not know WHICH corner"
Gets on my nerves every time I hear it!
The memorial talk is the most boring occasion of the year ever!!!
I always thought that inviting people to the memorial was counter-productive --- the vast majority of newcomers would NEVER set foot into a KH ever again after experiencing being bored out of their minds at the memorial!

make them work harder and keep them busy so that they may not pay attention to lies.. ex 5:9 .
whaddaya all think?.
1 Cor 14: 34
"Let the women keep silent in the congregations, for it is not permitted for them to speak"
when i understood, jws are wrong in some vital areas [eg.
woman being viewed secondary, refusal to greet those differing with them ....], but right in other vital areas [such as their teaching that human rule is doomed, and will be replaced by gods rule], i began a diligent search for the right organization.
my search ended with brahmakumaris.
in my first kingdom hall, the elders were ultra conservative.
our presiding overseer used to be a zone overseer.
the second hall i was in was moderate.
