  i recently had a discussion with a witness friend (i'm a secret) and she claimed that witnesses only get disfellowshipped for being unrepentant for immoral acts.

  i am curious to know from those who have been disfellowshipped, what was it for?

  What MUST Jw's believe that they don't KNOW they believe?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm looking for beliefs of jw's that have the consequence of also requiring some other belief that they may not like or be able to explain.. for instance, you probably believe that there are an infinite number of numbers, since you can always add 1 to any number and make a new one.. what you may not think about as a consequence of that belief is that you can also start with 2, add 2, and create an infinite series of even numbers.

  the set of even numbers is infinite, and the set of whole numbers (which would fully encompass the even numbers) is also infinite.

  so which set is bigger?

  is the point just to be different???

  by theinfamousone in

  2. beliefs

  after years with the jehovahs witnesses and then after years of recovering from being with the jehovahs witnesses, i have recently decided to start researching them.... one thing seems to stick out like a sore thumb.... they are so adamant about being different, about alienating themselves from anyone and everyone else... my question is, is this really healthy???

  for a "religion" to be only interested in being different and not being concerned with the bible and love and all that stuff????.

  the infamous one
