  JWs who were actually cool

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we always talk about the crazy j-dub fundy types, but i knew some cool jws (co, do, bethelites, pio) during my time.

  this is kind of a "where are they now" post along with acknowledginig some jws who were cool and down-to-earth.

  as with most "cool" and good people in the borg, most of them are either not jws anymore (burned out) or are not "serving" in responsible positions (funny how that works, isn't it).

  Faux Dubs

  by I quit! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone have any idea of how many dubs there are wandering around the kh that don't really believe it is the truth?

  i would think a lot but is there any way of knowing what the percent would be?

  i have seen cases where the husband didn't believe and the wife didn't believe but they kept their true feelings to themselves for years out of fear.

  Told my nonJW brother-in-law I'm done with the JW thing

  by ithinkisee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am slowly ramping up the wheels of apostacy and have begun telling a few people to help brace the fallout of me telling my wife.

  i have many relatives that aren't jws - both on my side and on my wife's side.

  i've already told my dad (who was never a jw - to which i am eternally grateful), and some nonjw business people that i am also friends with.. my wife's brother was never a jw.

  The New and Hidden Class Consciousness of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  class consciousness is defined as identification with other members of ones own class and awareness of its relationship with other classes.

  a remarkable change has happened in the last ten years among jehovah's witnesses, and this is largely due to the way we communicate.. .

  the internet has brought about huge social changes in the way we think, do business and research, and how we spend our free time.. .
