  Are you a JW Hater?

  by MelbaToast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading a topic in here, i came across a conversation regarding jehovah approved(tm) sports.

  i noticed that two of the posters were insensed at the amount of ex-jws in this forum.. they started ignoring everyone else that had put their opinion in on the subject....and decided that everyone in this forum was a jw "hater".

  i myself take offence to that, for i don't hate the jw's.

  Go Figure

  by redskymedic in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, after browsing through this website and then taking the search for the real 'truth' about the wts into my own hands, i decided to confront my jw mother.

  i stuck with the date-changing (1914, 1975, 2000) and asked what the explanation was since i have been gone for over 10 years now.

  she was quiet for a minute, then told me there was an explanation but she would have to look it up.

  i am so glad that i found this site.

  i have been reading these posts and they have made me feel so much better.

  my family was "in the truth" when i was little, and i feel like i really had a messed up child hood.

  Corporal punishment

  by JustTickledPink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my opinion is that jw's are into corporal punishment more than the general population.

  maybe it's my imagination, maybe not.. do you remember being told "not to spare the rod" in disciplining children?

  do you remember being that kid that got beat?.

  Missed oppourtunities as a JW kid?

  by kwintestal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw kids are repressed in every aspect of their lives, creatively, intellectually, atheletically...the list goes on.. what did you love to do as a kid, yet weren't permitted to do?.

  i personally loved football as a kid.

  other jw kids and i would play every weekend until the subject was brought up at an assembly as being competitive.

  Question for Christians on this board!

  by Greenpalmtreestillmine in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you believe the bible is the word of god?

  i ask because i believe it's important for searching jws who come here to not only learn if there are christians here but also to hear from them personally what their thoughts on the bible are.

  i believe the bible is the word of god, do other chriatians here also believe that?.
