What search engine do you most often use and why?
by berylblue invery curious...there's a reason for this question.
does anyone perceive if there is a proclivity toward a certain engine if one is, say, computer savvy?

>>> No more anti-depressants!!! I am so much happier..and allot more naughtier..hmmmm I wonder if that's what's making me happy? What was the question? <<< Oh she is funny I liked that one. I share her feelings. Everyone I have spoke to and had them be honest with me said they felt depressed most of the time being a Dub. I wonder if its because of amagedon dread and feeling as if you can't do enough, its the do it or die out look.

Well you must still be an active Jehovah's Witness. If I knew for a cirtain it was the truth and that I was a witness for the God of the bible and not some corp then yes it would be a plesure to serve a real god who is fair in all things. But as it stands at present with me anyway I see a cult it is called Jehovah's Witness's and they will I surmise be oweing for taking Gods name in vain by luring so many to be in their ranks to be only induced in satanic ways of controling others with guilt and fear.

Well Virginia, they may not teach that there is a Hell but they sure do teach about an Armageddon and they rub your nose in it as much as they can. You will go through your own hell just seeing in your minds eye your loved ones being killed off by an angry God who will stomp the nation in his wrath. Now if that don't scare you nothing will, you know they ought to make a scary movie of the J-Dub's Armageddon it would break the charts for scaring little kids and adults too. Oh incedently if you ever hint that you will go to heaven after your batised they will warn you that if you drink the cup of wine it will be to your own destruction if you reaally have not been invited by God, kind a like Indiana Jones and the last crusade" at the end of the movie.

Why Aren't Jehovah's Witnesses Allowed To Freely Express Themselves?
by minimus init's a simple fact.
jw's cannot freely express themselves.
they can't freely tell another about a doubt or a question that they might have for fear they could be exposed to the elders.

Now if you freely express your self and how you truly feel about this or that concerning doctrine, and you have been baptized the elders or the dubs in general will admonish you to not go beyond what is written meaning really not beyond what is written by the GB. Also if you are a human being who attends in good standing (approved) associate you as you well know will be marked if you continue to have and of course share your own views on matters relating to doctrine. Oh isn't it fun being J-Dub.

Is there anything you'd willingly give your life for?
by Happythoughts ini would willingly give my life to save my child.
i'm sure that would be the same answer for most parents, but how about those people without kids?

Dubs drive me nuts sometimes
by Euphemism inthis dub--a good friend of mind, actually--is trying to convince me to go to the elders because i serve alcohol to underage adults (19- and 20-year-olds).
*sigh* if only he knew...

Oh, you have to see this movie go and rent it. Its called "In the name of the Rose." Its just like the Elders and and the Dubs by and large.

JWs - What Proves That They're a Cult
by Black Man ini think one major point that proves that the jw's are a cult is that you can't leave without being stigmatized.
all you have to do for other religions is take your name of the membership log or just resign.
for jw's you can't leave unless you're df'd or da'd.

You got this right on. Its weird to leave, you must first go through a gauntlet of demeaning looks and questions along with most of the time ultimately feeling altogether rotten about your self for attempting it by your family members. If you are the only one in your family that is a Dub then your way ahead, cause at lest you can have someone to treat you like your a human being worthy of a hand shake or cup of tea Earl gray. Oh and of course if you have grown a beard during your absence you will at once be looked upon as disfellowshiped if you return to meetings or assemblys and be ignored even by your most best friends, by and large. So there goes your own taste in dress right out the window. You know what I hate is the self incrimination they heap on you, when they toss this idea at you by saying "have you given thought how this will affect your preaching activity, or your relationship with Jehovah"? Yes these are big and very affective manipulating tools used by the GB to gain control of you rather than you controlling your self in your own life. Granted we all need good suggestions from time to time but when we feel like unless we do what the person or persons are saying then some ghastly bad things will happen to us or to those we love as in "they will be destroyed", then something is really wrong. For heavens sakes what's the difference between Hell and Armageddon, its a scare thingy to make you do this or that.

I always loved this guy, he is the one that got me thinking more than the witness's ever did. I would stay up late just to listion to him when I was about 16. he had a way of describeing the "world tomorow" better and in such a way that it made chills on my back. Long live the brim stone preachers, and those who dare to say what they feel. God bless yeh Garner Ted...

Why is a trauma to move out from an organisation like the j.w ?
by arancia ini was converted j.w about 15years ago but last year i got to know what sort of people they were in reality.
my husband and i made the decision in five minutes.within few days we sent a very brief letter that stated in few words that we were living the oganisation disgusted for what we so in tv on channel 9 the previous sunday.
we reach very fast that decision because we freely and voluntarily got in ,therefore with the same spirit got out.

When you walk into a Bar right away you know what its spirit is, if its a good place or a bad place. When you want out some how the Dubs the know somehow you are no longer absorbed, so they will treat you like you have a cold they might catch. Then you will eather continue falling back or be sacred and jump back in with them out of fear of being alone again. I have seen this same power used in a Bar on people who go to the same place a lot.
