I don't think they're as over the top as Scientology, but they do have members that monitor websites evidenced by as stated previous with DMCA complaints.

Why did you choose Jehovahs Witnesses?
by vinman ini'm wondering why ones on this forum initially became jw's.
if you were born in, why did you make it "your own"?
if you became one later, what was your draw and driving force?

I was sorta of a born in. My parents began studying when i was around age 4-6 can't remember exactly. I became inactive around age 18 and stop believing completely at 22. I did make the truth my own around age 15 to 16. But began having doubts.
I didn't learn TTAT until many years later on this site. I do recall visiting here maybe 1999 I think and there was a discussion about 1914 generation that further my doubts. Can't remember if it was this site. It was not completely anti jw at the time but a mixture of people. I'm just glad I didn't waste my youth on JW, instead I wasted it on online video games :)

Have you seen other JW quote or post links to Richard Dawkins and others like him? I find it humorous.
by adjusted knowledge ini have very few active jw on my facebook, mainly the more liberal ones.
anyway a few of them have posted links or references to richard dawkins and other avowed atheists.
today a long time jw posted a link from the richard dawkins foundation blasting the celebration of easter as pagan.

Today a long time JW posted a link from the Richard Dawkins Foundation blasting the celebration of Easter as pagan. I guess this JW likes to start early bashing other peoples culture and beliefs.
I feel like putting a response with a link to his viewpoint on the JW creation book. The GB are such great role models that their lemmings imitate them well in the cherry picking field.

I was paired with this older "brother" when I was a teenager. He was very very strange. He was a nice guy but goofy.
We went to the door and before he knocked he wanted to role play our conversation. The homeowner happened to be at the door and was looking through the glass. This weirdo ignore the home owner and continued to "role play" an imaginary scenario. I had to be the witness while this goof ball played the house holder while we are at an actual house.
Finally the lady opened the door while we were in the middle of our "role play" and asked us to leave.
Anyone else have some similar stories?

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

Do you feel embarrsed?
by The Rebel inwhen you look through a keyhole, and see the person you once were?.
as for myself, i am just pleased i have mended my ways.
i realise ( now) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse.

I've noticed there is quite a few fukitol on this board. They are insecure and bitter. Only thing going in their life is an occasional anonymous posting to insult someone. To complain about a topic you clicked on and replied on, only speaks towards your mental aptitude. -

Only during my early school years. I had to leave the classroom and spend time in the library whenever there was a birthday party or other "pagan" celebration. I also sat for the pledge of allegiance. I was treated too badly but some teachers were offended and pitted students against me. Though I wasn't really bullied I never formed natural bonds with any school mates. I went to the same small school for 13 years and was lonely most of the time. I think that is about all this religion robbed from me. Overall it wasn't as bad as most on here experienced. I woke up before I became an adult. -

The JW Elder Who Started All the Insanity that was bound to eventually start. This Elder Loves Trouble!
by ReligionOfHatred inin order to understand what is happening you have to start from the beginning of our saga.
about nine years ago a elder with asperger's syndrome found out my family member almost came to blows with our next door neighbor who is so successful, he probably makes $2 million a year net-income with all his businesses and investments.
the co-owner of the property got angry because our neighbor did not like certain breeds of dogs, the fact was he was mauled by the breed elder bucket-head owned and elder bucket-head refused to fix the fence and so his dog would continually show up on my neighbors front door harassing his little dogs and growl.. elder asperger's heard my dad and his friend talking about uncle bucket-head's near blows even though they were whisphering at book study, his ears are good when it comes to seeking out sin and finding ways to bring brothers before the elders.

Sounds like Dologist rantings. Remember that guy going on about his Asperger Syndrome.
Not saying it is same person. But i notice people leaving this site and months later new accounts are created with similar posting styles.

Mad Irishman
Please provide source of this famous case in Florida. I've lived in Florida my whole life and never heard this story. Since it is a famous case and the person was caught , you obviously have a source or reference I could use to validate this claim.
So far every time I have called anyone out on this site about referencing a source, not one person has ever done so. Please be the first.

Funny reading that thread on JW talk. You have ones on there kissing the GB butt, and others on their stating this is so clear how can anyone be confused??? Yeah right. I know a few JW at work who couldn't even begin to explain the overlapping generation nonsense.
So funny
