frist i need to say this...bryanyou can't judge every one whos a witness,thinking they all are alike or believe the same...i know peole from different religions that disagree in their own teachings...so its the same with being a witness...i am a witness though i haven't been congregating in years...(my choice!)..i couldn't see myself dissing my kids..and i don't think i would ..even if it mean me being disfellowshipped...because thats a minor and he needs his parent..i can se if is an adult child..they can take care of themselves...still if i have a good relationship with my adult kid...and he/she was put out..i would still deal with my kid..and on one could tell me not to!there are people including witnesses..that has their own mind..i'm one of them...because only god can judge..but bryan...news flash baby!....there are other religions that teaches he same thing.again..i agree that i wouldn't disowned my babies for on one.still look at abraham he was ready to kill his child for god...who any of you do that if god told you to?it is in the bible to disfellowship a person whos going against god laws and refuse to change. but again..i couldn't treat my child like that!,and i hope that child has someone to fall back on.i wonder how it would have been if it was a mother..since we suppose to have the stronger bond.anyway...no ones perfect i don't care if they call themselves..preacher,pastor,deacon,or fathers,everyone sins.and i hope the dadis doing his best not to fonicate,commit adultry or anything eles thats against god..if so then he'll feel what his sons feeling!i feel gods will still be with the child!

Did you ever see a TRULY happy JW?
by cyborgVision ini mean seriously, most of us have been inside for a number of years.
so during all this time did you ever see happy person or a family or were you ever truly happy there, even for a brief period of time?
if you were happy, when was it?

hi i'm a witnesses though i haven't been at the hall for a while,and its not because of their teachings that cause me to stay away..ffrom what i see they do teach what jesus taught..though there are christians who claim the believe in everything jesus teaches...yet they call him and the witnesses a lier.i'm at times sad,and at times fell lonely..its not because again of the teachings..because though i'm a witness...i have my own mind...and i'll do whatever i want..if i want. its because i'm very picky when it comes to finding the right one.but if i did i wouldn't care if he was a witness or not...as long as he was a good man.still you asked as though every other christian on earth truely is happy all the time...it depends on each situation,when it comes to feeling sad..not the religion...people really do need to stop trippin on the witnesses.i seen people from other religions who were straight up...liers,cheaters,fonicators,adulterers,and everything eles.but its nothing really said about them.so the question should have been...DID YOU EVER TRULY SEEN A HAPPY CHRISTIAN...PERIOD!!...peace!

i thought this site suppose to be kind to one another!
by sad and lonely ini just recently join this site because i was looking for a friendly place for witnesses to go and chat.it's ok!..but i seen a lot of witness bashing.there's another site i want to get into, that's also a site for the witnesses.but i don't know what po means.and that's the only way a true witness can get in.i think maybe there is where i want to be.because i don't need to be in a site for witnesses,where its suppose to be friendly.yet witness haters are coming in.i haven't heard any witness bashing anyone in this site..but yet its the other way around.

well some churches when i was younger i just didn't like! at the ages of 9-12 sitting in a baptist church seeing how the preacher prached and always making funny sounds after each word,seeing the people all into it,but later hearing the women say something like..."pastor what can sure preach!...i don't know what he said but but he can preach up a storm.to me was stupid.because even at that age i thought"whats the sense of being here if i don't know what he's talking about..even now my sista's a holiness.it trips me out to see her body movie very fast and in ways that don't seem natural(i seen it on a film she had).then she tells me jesus is in her..i didn't believe that base on what i read from the bible.then the other member in her church was doing the same thing...she said it was the devil...i'm thinking .."now ain't that a mess?"same chruch,same belief,same body motion...but the devil was in him..not her..i knew then i had to find some place of worship that seem pecaeful...to me!
