I saw and heard something in a Kingdom hall I thought I would never witness!
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inwhen i was a kid i would hear religious songs on tv and start sining them... not knowing they were church songs... one day i started singing the hallelujah song (not sure the exact name of the song) my father quickly gave me a hard slap on the mouth and said if i ever sang that song again he would take his belt off and beat my butt until it was red!.
well fast forward 30 years..... the public speaker was missing today and so tv.jw>org to the rescue.... instead they decided to play the new video about the last hundred years since 1914.. instantly the hall was filled with the exact same song i was punished for!
yes a church song filled the hall for almost 5 minutes as we watch br.

Why attack?
by newqatarjob inas someone brought up as a jw and been an elder and been disfellowshipped (twice!!!
) i find it difficult to understand why ex jws have to attack the religion, yes religion, not cult or sect.
i am no longer disfellowshipped just do not want to practice anymore.

Welcome!
There are so many on the board who have had so many different experiences. So many bad experiences and it has had an incredible impact on their lives (and their families). So many wounds that may never heal. When you stand by and watch someone else struggle with their issues they are dealing with it is easy to judge. When some of those same issues hit you, it can change your perspective 100%. I never judge...you never know the journey someone else has had to endure.
Just my 2 cents.

For the older ones on here. Do you remember the Etch A Sketch? The org should start printing on that. When they want to make a change they just shake the Etch A Sketch and re write. There will be a lot of shaking going on! lol -

I will respond..."Have you personally spoken to Jehovah? If you haven't personally spoken to Jehovah, how do you know I left him? My relationship with my Creator is between he and I. My relationship with him is none of your business, just as your relationship with him is none of mine." -

Nature of the Word "Spiritual" Amongst Witnesses
by freemindfade ineven as an atheist i consider myself spiritual, always have, metaphysics and spiritual discussions about enlightenment and so on i find interesting, even if belief in a yhwh is not in me.
i want to propose this simple definition of the word "spiritual" among jehovah's witnesses.. spiritual = indoctrination or indoctrinated.
i have been told how i'm "just not a spiritual man".

Spiritual ='s Field Serve Us (# of hours you get), pioneering, reaching out to become a MS or Elder, Baptism (the earlier the better), assemblies, attending Bethel, being a part of the RBC (or whatever they call it today). A showy display. It doesn't matter what is in your heart as long as your actions can be observed by others. It's one big competition! We left the competition. They can all just WOW one another now!
