What is behind your choice of forum user name?
by stuckinarut2 injust curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

Mine was nothing fancy. I just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others. It seemed impossible to break free of the life that revolved around everything JW.

What made you stay "in" even when you knew it wasn't the "truth"?
by mentalclarity inso i've been thinking a lot about why i stayed a jw for so long even though i had always had doubts about the doctrines.
i was born into the religion, left and came back as an adult for another decade.
some of the things that come to mind (besides the threat of shunning-and this isn't to minimize that very real threat) was:.

Great comments.
I guess for me it was the fear of the unknown.
Hence the username "stuckinarut2" (as in "I am stuck in a rut too")
I didn't see my way clear, as it was all I knew all my life...

Watchtower Study June 18 from April 2017 issue
by BluesBrother inhttps://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2017/judge-of-all-earth-always-does-what-is-right/.
the judge of all the earth always does what is right.
intended as a confidence builder in the organization ..see what you think.. theme is from deuteronomy but it is really highlighting that passage in genesis where abraham had a dialogue with god, (gen.18) would god destroy sodom if 50 righteous men would perish?

A CO in Western Australia was having a relationship with a sister for some time...
Two separate instances in Bethel Australia where the "affairs" were going on for some time before the Hold Spirit woke up to it...
So it seems that if you progress with more "privileges of service", the HS overlooks things....

Jehovah's Witnesses act like 'Flirts' with people!
by stuckinarut2 inwe were just musing that jws act in a "flirtatious" manner with people in the community.. they show such "sincere" interest in people when they call.
they seem like such kind, caring and thoughtful people - really interested in their lives and welfare.. people are often quite impressed with the jws manner, and their well dressed presentation.
people (especially vulnerable ones who are going through difficult pressures in life), are drawn in and made to feel special by the witnesses as they call back.. return visits take place.

Thanks for your replies.
Yes, I am ashamed to say that we did the same with those we met in the territory. If they didnt "progress" we dumped them....
Now looking back though, I am happy, as that saved them from getting hitched to the cult....
