Alright, I want everyone to list your top three reasons for JW to be cult and/or not the true religion. Like this:
1.You can't look, or wear whatever you want.
2. Blah
3. Blah
Bad example I know, but you get the point.

Just dropped the bomb
by Powermetal4ever inafter a long struggle with myself, i did send a sms to my mother this morning, telling her i didn't want to go to the meeting, and that i no longer believe in the organisation, don't really believe in god any more either but i put that out.
i wrote about three things that i thought are obvious, the overlapping generation that doesn't make sense, the flood an the animals in australia- how they came there.
and jw tv that makes them look as any other religion.

Got a SMS back telling how much she loves me and so on and that we must talk about this. Kind of surprising, I thought it would be more of a rumble. Anywat its only the beginning, maybe it will get worse, sending elder after me. Update will come.

by minimus inwitnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.
everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?

Largest amount of refugees since WW2 in Europe
by Powermetal4ever inso i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.
so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

No I am not fond of Islam , but one thing in all of this make me somewhat happy. And that is when I read about the help those refugees actually receives from usual people. For instance in my country there has been a big fundraising recently. And I think that disproves the JW teaching that there is no love in the world. -

My field service group leader wants to meet me
by Powermetal4ever inhe kind of invited me to a barbecue or something, and asked if my parents wanted to come along as well.
it felt really awkard, i mean i am 20++.
i was sceptic, so he told me he would send me a sms about an other fitting day instead.i probably didnt look too happy about that either, so he told me that maybe he could invite some other in the group.
