  Does the Watchtower Society stunt personal development and growth

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with so many "responsibilities" given to the witnesses by the "faithful and discreet slave", there is little time for them to do anything these days except sleep - and that is when they're not out preaching at unearthly hours in the morning.. .

  the enormous pressure to perform, and to be under the watch of the elders to make sure you perform, is a draining experience.. .

  a book i have on sociology says this regarding jehovah's witnesses, when discussing sects, that "they require intensive commitments and demonstrations of belief by members.

  What is the WT fell?

  what would be the consequences to society in general?

  would there be enough psychotrist to handle 6,000,000 new patients?.

  would office buildings be scrambling to find new janitorial services, since all the "pioneer janitorial service" operators would find real jobs?.

  Has this happened to anyone?

  by Purza in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so my mother opens the door for a discussion (via email) and i totally freeze up.

  i find it almost impossible to tell her how i feel about the jw religion.

  when i finally figure out what i want to say, she completely dismisses my thoughts.

  Let's bring these enemies of freedom and human decency down to their knees!

  by Jonty Parkin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  previously, i was content to go my own way and allow my erstwhile brothers and sisters go theirs.

  after all, if i am honest, i am equally delighted to be able to ignore/shun those myopic, sanctimonious little turds, as they are to ignore/shun me!.

  however, having read many of your posts, i'm downright bloody livid, not neccessarily with the aforementioned "myopic, sanctimonious little turds", but those grumpy, stubborn, conniving deceitful old gits in brooklyn who have created this society of "myopic, sanctimonious little turds"!.
