  A God that would allow children to be raped, molested, or abused in order to protect his "organization" is not a God I want to know.

  Nope - not now, not ever. People used to trust what religious organizations said - they don't anymore, because people who claim to be the chosen ones of God are the worst liars there are.

  It must have been so much easier to lie before the Internet, now it takes 5 seconds to prove them wrong. What's sad is the people stuck in the cult will still cling to whatever statements the org makes even when faced with concrete proof of it being a lie.

  Control - Whose worse, the JWs or the traditional churches?

  by fulltimestudent in

  we once experienced, the "you'll die at armegeddon," fear instilled into us as jw's.. was that worse or better than the fear of eternal torment instilled by more conventional religions?.

  john spong gives his view.

  I am not a member of any church, but I have visited on occasion (going with friends). The last church I went to was a Catholic Church, the service was very nice. The pastor talked about how to be better people and follow Jesus example of love and kindness. The service was very uplifting and enjoyable and there was a nursery/Sunday school program that the little ones seemed to enjoy.

  There was no "OBEY or God will kill you talk" like at the Kingdom Hall.

  i was at a wedding the summer before i left the jws and i met an old friend.

  he had been reinstated for 6 months, he was dfed for 4 years.

  so it took him 3 1/2 years before they would let him back in.

  I knew someone like that when I was in over 20 years ago. He was disfellowshipped and reinstated, but never accepted back. It was awful for him.

  It's all about control. You can't be happy someone is reinstated unless we say so, just like you couldn't talk to them until we say so.

  I have been out so long that the thought of someone telling me I can clap seems ridiculous.

  knock knock

  by Sabin in

  2. experiences

  if jw`s come knocking at your door, do you open it & engage in conversation, tell them to sod off, or just not answer the door?.

  my husband`s has asked me not to answer the door to them if he isn't here?

  he hate`s the fact that they make a point of calling when they know he will be at work.

  Last time they came through they left a magazine in my door - I was feeling a bit antagonized and I got in my car and found them at the end of my block and gave them the magazine back. I let them know how I feel about their disfellowshipping arrangement which the elder tried to defend. I let him have it in front of my neighbors who were getting their mail. It was funny - because everyone ran for their cars (2 car groups) and left that elder to deal with me. Everyone left that day and haven't been back.

  Types attracted to the sect known as jehovahs witnesses.

  by atomant in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  l have observed the types of people attracted to the sect are many times unbalanced,unstable,emotionally insecure types.the jdubs seem to home in like vulchers circling the prey ,preying on the vulnerables.they tried it on me when my father who was an elder died.promising that if you become a dub you will one day see him again.l said how can you promise that when you keep making false misleading predictions.l was wondering if others have observed this phenomenon.

  I think a lot of otherwise sane people get tangled up with the witnesses when they are going through vulnerable periods in their lives, more so if they have a relative that is a witness.
