Dfed---your response proves how truly brainwashed you are.Thats all I can say.They rob people emotionally,financially,spiritually,and they give NOTHING BACK.Unless you call there regurgated simple 5th grade publications "giving back".STP

Are Jehovah's Witnesses parasites?
by moshe ini sometimes felt guilty when i was a jw by taking advantage of the system and not putting anything back.
like schools- jw's want good schools for their kids but would never serve on the pta or other school committee.
doctors- oh how they want the best medical care, but they discourage their children from getting an advanced degree to become a doctor.

Taking control over our lives.
by Lady Lee inthis is such a huge issue for me.
i don't want anyone to tell me what to do or how to live.
in part this is due to the control that the wts and the elders had over my life.

As a youngster,the control my parents took over who I could hang out with was horrible.This was all done with the elders encouragement,who were chosen by jehoba{hahaha}.I always knew I liked my friends from school better,and was forced to hang out with kids from the hall.It is a warped way to live.Children feel helpless,and you must obey your parents---------------or else.
The control just funnels down from the top.

I hate to be blunt ninamarie,but the jehovahs witnesses robbed me and my family of happiness.After my parents 20+ years in this cult,they both admit how wrong they were,and how they mentally and emotionally hurt there 5 children.Please ,look into this cult for you and your kids,they are not true,and run there buisness thru guilt and fear.I hope you think twice before getting involved with this CULT.If you do decide to get invoklved,leave your kids out of it,if you really love them.Please read more of this site,and look at the facts.I wish you and your family the best.

Jesus was a liar.
by nicolaou infirstly, it is not my intention here to offend anyone so if you are likely to get upset at reading 'blasphemous' statements or criticism of jesus then perhaps you should go to another topic.
also, i am not in the habit of making personal attacks on other posters, if you decide to stay and read this - don't attack me!
by all means rip my post to pieces and explain where i got it all wrong, but don't shoot the messenger.. and remember, i come from the same place as most of you, i was one of jehovah's witnesses for over thirty years.

The whole bible is filled with hard to believe scenarios,hope and faith are all that is needed to "make"them real.People need something to believe in,and the bible is just the ticket.The bible is as believable as the matrix in my opinion.There are so many concepts with no concrete answers,to think we know is are first mistake.I have seen no evidence of "jehovah"as told by the bible.We where probly put here by aliens!!haha

JW's on trick or treat night
by carla inhow did your jw families appreciate people knocking on your doors on trick or treat night?
ever answer the door and tell them how pagan they were?
we had one jw house that used to be totally dark except for the porch light so we could read their sign- we are jw's and do not celebrate halloween.

The nieghbors knew we were in a cult.It must have been sad for them to see our house all dark,knowing that we were brainwashed.
