JW's, Religion, Cult, Religious Sect, Psychos?
by dh in.
when you think of jw's, what do you think of them as being, are they a religion, a cult, a religious sect, or something else?.
i don't exactly know what i think they are, they're a printing house which prints things based around their understanding of the bible & christianity, sort of making them a sect, but the things they do are both extreme and cult-like, so wondered... when you think of jw's, what do you think of them as being?

Issue of Universal Sovereignty
by dh inhere's another one of my pet questions.... if you're the almighty, ruler of the universe, omnipotent, all seeing, all knowing, blah blah, from beginning to inning to alfa to omega to whatever.
why when something you created challenges your authority do you accept the challenge?
(and not turn the other cheek or kill it).

Killer God & His Body Count
by dh indoes anyone know the exact number of people recorded as being killed by god in the bible?
not those killed by old age or illness or the acts of genocide that aren't given a death toll figure (like the flood), i wondered what the body count was for those acts of genocie that do have a documented death toll, or kill figure (god sent an angel to kill 100,000 etc).. anyone any ideas?.

JW Family Birthdays
by dh ini just got an email from my mom (who's a jw) telling me that my grandma (who's roman catholic) turned 77 yesterday, she said i should call because my grandma would be happy to hear from me.
this might seem normal in a non-jw household, but it's the first time it's ever happened in ours, what struck me is that being raised a jw i'd never been told when my relatives birthday's were and conditioned not to ask.. it's been years since i left and i've never given it a second tought, but suddenly i feel pretty small for not knowing... my grandma, being catholic was the only one in my family who even acknowleded our birthdays, at one point when we were kids we weren't allowed to see our grandparents at all because they weren't jw's, it's insane.. to this day i still don't know when my mom and dad's birthdays are, i am not even 100% sure what years they were born in.. is this normal?.

Is it true that JW Missionaries...
by dh in.
is it true that jw missionaries sign a legally binding contract with the wtbt society to say that they cannot work for pay, even casually, or own a business for the duration of their contact to the society.. i have a jw friend who's a missionary out in the middle of nowhere who told me so a while ago, wondered if anyone else knew anything?

Demons
by dh inanother post to add to my list of things i wanted to ask ex jw's but never had the chance.. have you ever had any unexplainable experiences or encounters with something paranormal and been told by jw elders that 'it must be the demons' literally, or 'we'll pray to jehovah for help' due to some 'demonic' thing you are going through, being tormented or whatever, if so, what do you put it down to?
do you subscribe to a belief of angels & demons?
do you believe these beings, if they exist can interfere in our day to day lives or do you dismiss anything 'paranormal' as being in the head of the person who thinks it happened to them?.
