Not to start anything, but perhaps your parents are just plain jerks. It sounds like they would be like that whether they be JW's, Born Agains, or Atheists. Some of my friends want to blame the JW's for the way their parents are when in fact they'd be a-holes if they were JW's or not.

Hot New Ford GT, and the GB!!
by DwainBowman inok, i was reading a story about fords new ford gt, one hot extreme muscle car.
the story tells about how a car like this normally takes 6 or more years from, first scratches on paper to finished project.
their small handful of specialist, pulled it off in 2. and right until it was finished, no one out side of the small circle of people (about 25 people ) really knew anything, except something special was in the works!.

Not to rain on your parade, but years before the retro Mustang came out it was common knowledge that Ford was working on the project. I'm a car geek so I know this. And by the way, the Dodge Challenger is 10 times nicer than the Mustang. I've test driven both and its not even close.
The GB blathering on and on about over coming obstacles is no different than my bone-headed bosses where I work doing the same thing. Humans get excited when they accomplish something. It's a human tendency, not a JW one. I think it's like that with most things JW, but we assign negativity and a wide net when JW's do what is usually just simply human. It's kind of the way you look at things. Either objectively or through a negative lens.
Just my opinion on what I've observed.

Name Things You Can't Do If You Are JW...or not supposed to do
by minimus inwitnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.
everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?

I grew up in the truth and I went to college, our family took vacations all over the world, I owned a--get ready for this--a two-seater sports car, and I went to my prom. You CAN do anything you want if you're simply not afraid of what others say.
It sounds to me that many of you made decisions your really didn't want to make, or your parents did, and you blame the JW's. Anything I didn't do is my fault as I'm the one who made the decision. Some of which I wish I had made differently, but I take ownership of it.
Sometimes some of us ex-Witnesses were just pussy Witnesses who did everything for how it looked instead of making any real decisions. I put that blame mostly on ourselves not anyone else. If JW's don't want to take blood transfusions, join the military, celebrate the holidays, run for office, stand for the national anthem, get drunk, whatever, who cares?
There are very few actual rules they can't do. There are a lot more things that are simply frowned upon. If we did not choose to do those latter things whose fault is that? For me it was my own fault.

Will the resurrected marry/have children?
by davidmitchell ini have just finished reading 'brock talon's' two books.
in one of them, entitled journey to god's house, pub.
he comments on how the wt's pictures of the post-armageddon world do not agree with their doctrines, namely that those who are physically resurrected will not marry/have children.

Recent talks have outlined that this passage was talking about the anointed and not those resurrected on Earth, so this does not apply anymore. -

The Watchtower's cash flow problems and financial solvency with lawsuits payouts
by Brokeback Watchtower ini think with all this change we see occurring with the watchtower corporation's to deal with things means they are in financial trouble and are seeking to consolidate their real estate holdings for easy sale if needed to stay financially solvent.. they will stop or slowly decrease the door to door work and focus on the material potential of each member young and old for what ever they can get out of them.
this will lead to more leaving under their tyranny.
