need your information on this one please

by Rachel04 in

to start off with i am not a jehovah's witness but have come across this website through research on my essay, the reason why i ask for your information is that i have been given an essay based on a case study.

i am a student nurse and need some help in getting the right information or at least knowing where to get that information from.

to make this easier to understand i will show the case study that i have to base my essay on: .

Doubtfully Yours

You won't get objective information in this site for your case study.

In all fairness, due to the fact that the person in question might be a sincere JW, please try to get objective information from a more pro-JW website.

Have they changed their views about transexuals??

by Mulan in

there is a pioneer in a nearby congregation, that my jw friend told me about recently.

this person is a woman, but used to be a man.

everyone has accepted her, and they all talk about what a good example, and what a wonderful pioneer she is.

Doubtfully Yours

Check out the story yourself. I seriously doubt it.

Gays, transsexuals, cross-dressers, transvestites, and anything else in that realm are all still considered sexual aberrations by the WTBTS, and not accepted at all. However, I'm sure there are a few of them among the R&F just playing the part of the good little Witness so they're not easily detected.

Mega dittos, fellow Minimus!

And his wife, have you all heard the non-sense and idiocy that comes out of the woman's mouth? She'd very possibly be the dumbest/nuttiest First Lady ever!!!

Feelings of an active JW

i have been lurking on this board ever since the may 2002 broadcast of that dateline on the subject of child molestation.

that show made me realize that the wt may not be speaking for god.

well naturally i discovered the truth about the "truth" over the past 21 months.

XBEHERE,

I must really say the following to you and all others fellow doubters, faders and otherwise 'spiritually weak' ones: Put it all in perspective. Look around you, compare, and find positively that it could be 10 times worse!

I try to make light, fun if you will, of my present situation in life. The meetings I cannot at all avoid, when finally show up I proceed to hang out with other 'spiritually weak' ones and we do have quite a bit of fun talking about everyday life and telling jokes and all.

Remember always that no situation in life is all good or all bad. Take the WTBTS for its good points and forgo the stuff you don't care for. Sort of like find a 'click' within and stick with it for as long as needed.

It's not all gloom and doom inside the WTBTS, you know. Yes, they do want as much control as possible, but only if you let them. In my particular case, much of the high control stuff that's pounded at the meetings goes in one ear and out the other; when a topic is of no interest to me whatsoever I just find some article to read while it's going on, or daydream, or do my finances while the meeting is in full swing.

To survive any situation, we must always accentuate on the possitive.

XBEHERE,

Welcome to my world. I tell you, though, leading a double life is terribly exhausting for me.

My husband and parents are heavy into the religion and outside of their spiritual views, which I don't discuss with them at all, I love them all dearly. So, I must hang in there for just a bit longer.

I do miss many, many meetings and turn in the lowest service time possible. Therefore, I've been marked by some and by others labeled 'spiritually weak'. It's okay, though, it keeps the mayority away from me which is exactly what I want for now.
