31Jehovah's Witnesses Called At My Door
by Roger Kirkpatrick inlast saturday morning, i answered a knock at my door to see a man standing next to a young boy who handed me a pamphlet posing the question, "how do you view the bible?
would you say it is (1) a book of human wisdom?
(2) a book of myths and legends?

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Ever Do Anything For Anyone But Themselves?
by minimus ini was thinking of how witnesses were always admonished to take care of their own before they should ever help a worldly neighbor.
i don’t think they ever do anything for the community unless it’s a benefit to them..

I don't think our JW family knows any of their neighbors. They do not reach out to any "worldly" people, unless they can convert them. JW's are wonderful at dehumanizing people.

Well, they cleaned the Boy up and made him a cult member!! That's what it's all about!
We don't recognize what we were born into either.

I am a proud Jehovah's Witness Defender
by Matthew Jefferson inmy name is matthew j and i have just ended my study with the jehovah's witnesses.
no, i did not stop studying because i believe the jehovah's witnesses are a 'cult', i left due to the minor beliefs that i hold that remain separate from the organization.
i called my elder who is still an amazing man and great counselor, affirming that i do not wish to continue my studying.

"As seen, it is clear that no, they will not 'shun' me for my leaving the studies"
Glad you escaped. You should see what your family does to you when you are honest with them and decide to leave the organization. We are experiencing this at this very moment.
I'm happy for you, I truly am but there are some people on this forum who are experiencing something VERY different and it hurts.

How Would You Help A JW. Recognize They Do Not Have The Truth?
by minimus inevery witness says they are “ in the truth”.
that expression implies that what they say is the “truth “.
how could you help a witness understand that they clearly do not have “the truth “?.

"I think many Witnesses stay in for social reasons. For them there’s no where else to go."
I'm with minimus on this one. Our family sees the abuse and hypocrisy, we just think it is too painful for them to make an exit. The thought of being completely alone in the 60's and 70's is too much to bear. WT is a social club that gives them the warm and fuzzy feeling of belonging somewhere. Without WT, they have NO ONE to tell them how to think, act and believe. They have to let the Panda's, resurrection and hope go out the window!!! -

Family reunion
by smiddy3 inmy wife and i just enjoyed a family reunion with both my sons ,one wife and one grandchild 10 years old ,where they stayed at our house for a week .. the best week we have had for many a year .
the couple live only 2 hours away by car and the other son and his child live 2 states away 2 hours by plane.. and thankfully they are no longer associated with the borg that i now regretfully brought them up in , so the borg will never get their children.. it was a happyfying time .

We tried. You can't. They have to come to their own conclusion.
We don't really discuss it with family anymore, it does not go well. Now, if anything is brought up, we may just make small comments like, "well, that wasn't very loving or that wasn't a very Christian thing to do." They don't say much. Everything is "Satan this and Satan that." It's just not worth the frustration anymore.
