I might sound ignorant but no one has ever explained to me the basis of JW's beliefs. All I know is they seem to believe alot in satan from what I heard...but that's all I know.
I would also like to know what made you join this religion? Were you born a JW or you became it later on? What did you find appealing about it?
Thanks

i didn't know this was an " ex" board...i'm very embarrassed right now.

i was enraged yesterday by what i saw on tv and felt i had to say something...wrong board loll ...so sorry
Hello, I would like to change my name if that's possible because I'm obviously not digusted by you all. I'm enlightened by you all Thanks for not being mad at me. My outburst yesterday was a mix of pms with lack of sleep combined with the TV program
Anyways, a bit about myself, I'm a 24 year old woman from Canada, I've never been a JW but even though I was not too fond of having to answer the door to them, I always respected them...I respect people who don't have the same beliefs as I do and I actually thought they were very courageous and devoted to be knocking on people's doors and get rejected like that...but this respect has now changed for the JWs and for the catholic church. I've never been sexually abused but that doesn't prevent me from being completely digusted by it and outraged that pedophiles are being protected in religious communities.
I did meet three people in the last two years, a brother and a sister who were both ex-JWs and had been sexually abused in their childhood and another young woman later on. Even though I thought their stories were horrible, I never imagined this was a common thing and now I see that it is. My question is why are they been protected like this?? Don't they realize what a horrible thing they are doing? I just don't understand...
Cruzanheart, I'm so sorry for your father...my heart goes out to you

you people make me want to throw up!!!!
in the last 2 years, i have met three people ages 18, 25 and 34, two girls and one guy who are ex-jehovah's witnesses ( thank god!
) and who have told me their horror stories concerning being molested in your congregation and no action was taken against their aggressors.
My apologies to everyone here...I didn't know this was an ex-jehovahs witnesses board. I'm extremely sorry if I have offended you I was just really pissed last night after what I saw on TV. Please forgive me

Besides being really annoyed at being bothered on a Sunday morning by you people knocking on my door, I was really pissed off by what I had heard. Then tonight, I watched a one hour special that aired in Canada and in the US earlier this year about peodphiles and Jehovah's Winesses. I almost lost my dinner. I was disgusted and saddened by what I saw and heard about children being molested and asking for help from older Jehovah's witnesses who never reported these allegations to the police and who on the other hand treat the victims as if they were criminals. Then you people have the NERVE to come knocking on our doors and point the finger and say we are all sinners??? You people would probably get along really well with the catholic pedophile priests. What a bunch of perverts you all are!! Shame on you!
