  as jehovah's witnesses, we were never encouraged to give to any charitable organizations except for you-know-who .

  .. what charities stand out in your mind?

  i like doctors without borders as well as my local nyc public radio stations.

  Were You Punished by Your Government for Not Being a Part of Military Service?

  i never cease to be amazed by the sacrifice that the wts foolishly requires.

  one of the larger sacrifices is that of personal freedom that has been demanded of young men and women around the globe.

  many are sent to prison for several years and have a felony on their record for life.

  WWII brings back many unpleasant memories of the young and middle-aged men imprisoned.

  One young man was resentenced after his first imprisonment. Draft boards did this more than once.

  Lewisburg was a harsh prison with known criminals there. One man who spent time in solitary confinement

  which may explain his behavior in civilian life. Twenty years later, a young JW man sentenced there, brought

  his father to tears as he told his Dad he couldn't take it anymore; although the congregation wanted to

  disfellowship. His JW father was imprisoned during WWII.

  The young men recently released from Sandstone (which was a high security prison)

  learning to walk freely without guards watching their every step.

  How many have gotten interested in Human Services, Charity, Social Justice, Social Work and the like after awakening to Watchtower aberrance?

  by Fernando in

  2. experiences

  whilst under watchtower influence i had little interest or awareness in these areas.. now they have become a passion.. i wonder if it has something to do with the "cult identity or self" versus the "authentic identity or self" as outlined by steven hassan in the "interacting with dual identities" chapter of his book "releasing the bonds - empowering people to think for themselves".. who has had a similar experience and/or change of career related to unplugging from the watchtower?.

  or a story to tell?.

  From being a JW found that the experience of approaching people when doing magazine street corner work, works great

  when campaigning for a candidate you believe in. Found some really honest and hard working people running for office.

  In fact, preaching house-to-house prepares one for being a polical and social activist.
