  Do you catch yourself still thinking Witness thoughts?

  by Leolaia in

  i was with my boyfriend's family who are jewish.

  having grown up as a witness, i always felt closer to jews than most christians (when you think about it there are a number of commonalities, like not celebrating christmas, having a "memorial" often on passover night that talks a lot about the israelites escaping egypt, the whole ot focus of the witnesses instead of on the christ of the nt, etc.).

  anyway, it was thanksgiving and my boyfriend's aunt was there who was a holocaust survivor.

  Which One Lie Hurt You The Most About Jehovahs Witnesses?

  which one teaching really hurt you when you found out that it was not true?

  my number one thing is finding out that the name "jehovah" was not in the bible like it was in the new world translation (tm).

  christians did not call god "jehover" "jehovah" or by his first name, no more than you would call your father by his first name when you were a child.

  Were Most Of The Elders "On The Ball" In Your Congregation?

  i think most of the elders relied on the "smart ones" to help them out.

  my experience was that there was probably 2 or 3 "sharp ones".

  the rest were dopey!
