I think some of it is what I call the Reformed Alcoholic Syndrome, you know the old saw about nothing worse than a reformed drunk preaching about the evils of alcohol. You have "reformed" JW's here who have seen the "light" and become athiests, or agnostics, etc. and hammer those points as hard as they probably preached the word when a dub. I don't say this in a nasty way, I think it is too be expected, especially if one is feeling like they have been duped for a long time. So I think some of the aggressiveness can be traced to folks that have become enlightened so to speak wanting to share that with others and often being pretty forceful.

How Do We See Others On A Discussion Board?
by Sunspot ini have always had one "motto" that i have stuck by for as long as i can recall........to treat others as they have treated me.
on a discussion board we can and do get into things that may get heated at times, but most of us can usually agree to disagree and be done with it, dignity and feelings intact.
some folks have done some "bad" things and have dealt with them or in the process of doing so.

A continuation of defd's discussion
by cruzanheart inokay, defd, i started a new topic so we won't continue to hijack panic attack's thread.
the reason why i didn't answer you back is twofold: (1) i'm at work and they kind of expect me to do other things besides post on jwd; (2) my husband chris (big tex) answered your question sufficiently for me so i didn't see a need to respond.. nina i am curious as to why you didnt finish our discussion and respond to my answer?
was raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, and i am very pleased to be able to offer my children the respect to make their own decisions about what to believe .

Defd, there is a difference between training your kids to distinguish between right and wrong and brainwashing them into a destructive cult.

The Brooklyn Boobs (sounds like a baseball team coached by the 3 Stooges, Charlie, Joey, and Freddie).
Defd, and you think you'll be around to tap dance on those graves, oh wait, millions now living will never die.

With Defd I wonder if it is some sort of self abuse, I mean why would you post things like Defd does knowing you are just going to get reamed, steamed, and dry cleaned by this bunch unless you sort of like getting humiliated on a public forum.

by candidlynuts inyeah its morbid... but since we're not gonna live forever like we thought we might the first half or so of our lives, we're obviously gonna die someday.. and i dont want " keep your eyes on the prize " played at my funeral.. (keeping in mind that theres no one thats gonna claim my body to bury it anyway when the time comes).
i want " if you could read my mind" by gordon lightfoot.

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Went from door to door across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
She said, Hey honey
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
Candy came from out on the Island
In the Kingdom Hall backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
And the Pioneer girls go
doo do doo do doo do do doo
Little Joe Rutherford never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A prophecy here and a prophecy there
New York City's the place where they said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
I said, Hey Joe Rutherford
Take a walk on the Watchtower sideFreddy Franz came and told them to hit the streets
Lookin' for souls to save and a place to meet
Went to Bethel
You should've seen 'em go go go
They said, Hey sugar
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
I Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
All right, huh
Teddy J is just speeding away
Thought he was Jesus Christ for a day
Then I guess he had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, Hey babe,
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
I said, Hey honey,
Take a walk on the Watchtower side
And the Pioneer girls say,
doo do doo do doo do do dooOkay, I promise I'll stop, but I just couldn't resist. (With all apologies to Lou Reed)

Would The Manner In Which JW's Treat Others Be Different If...
by Honesty in.
they were not convinced by the governing body that jesus had invisibly returned in 1914?
would there be any bad results of knowing exactly when christ will return?
-

Big Dog
If they knew exactly when Christ would return they would lock up the kingdom halls and put one of those little signs with the clock on it, you know like they do at the little shops in the mall when they go to lunch and have no one to cover, Will Return at (and the time would be set about 15 mintues before the return of Christ).

JWs not chauvanists
by stillajwexelder inbefore i came in da troof i thought cleaning was womens work - after i came in the truth i noticed elders cleaned windows and held janitorial positions - so jws are not male chauvanists

No, they are more like male supremecists actually. Most I saw treated their wives like serfs.
