No situation/organization/political party/etc. is 100% good or 100% bad. It all depends on who you are, your experience, and what you choose to accentuate.
Inherently evil?!!! ..... Now, that's crazy talk.

Why would anyone choose to support Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by Half banana inwhat is the point of supporting a belief which began as a bronze age ox-headed idol called yahweh... in a religion designed for illiterate peasants now appropriated by a money-driven cult with a one hundred and forty six year unbroken record of total failure of its bible based predictions?.

If I cared any less about the Bible, what it teaches, God, his purpose for us, the prophets, and any other 'religious' type crap I'd be dead.
The community, personal interactions, the hanging out thing, hubby, parents, extended family, friends, the click, the good times; that's what's important to me.
So I have to play the JW game to keep it all together, so it'll be. I'm quite good at it and, by the looks of it, many others trapped within have become quite experts at it themselves.

Personal integrity..... hmmm.....
The JW way of life is all I have ever known, it speaks to me and I understand it fully.
In my complicated situation, I have grown accustomed to viewing/treating the WTBTS as a buffet, taking what I like and avoiding the rest. There is much to be liked and I choose to accentuate that, the very nice social interactions for example.
Good thing my mind is so well compartmenalized that I can find happiness this way. It works for me and so many others trapped inside.

It is not in my best emotional/financial/social interest to flee from the group. All the JWs (INO) I hang out with are very lovely people.

I forget people's names easily. My reading is not as good because my eyesight is failing.
Who came up with the term "golden years"? This phase of life sucks the big one!!!😢

The slow trickle has become a steady stream!
by freddo inin the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.
many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.
this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!

The "conscious class" is becoming a huge army these days. It is awesome!
The WTBTS is being cornered into change if they want to survive. In my Spanish cong people are just living their lives as they see fit, sending their young ones to college, etc.
GOOD!!!

How often do you....?
by Lostandfound inhow often do you, ........ no not that, how often do look at this forum ?
and how long does it last,....... no not that again (one track minds) how many looks are you addicted to a day?
keep coming back to see anything new, or do you look at posters who you know from experience have comments that will interest you?.

I roam through all subjects, many of which do not compel me to contribute thoughts. Can only hang out here when I feel absolutely of not being found out.
Belonging to the "conscious class" while still full in and in excellent standing is quite a tight rope to maneuver. Dreaming of future freedom since 1995.😕

Dreamy for sure, but not realistic. Men have quite the exquisite pick, not the sisters as there are like 20 to 1 ratio; I feel so sad for so many in my Spanish cong that would love to find a JW mate, but there is nothing available.
