ever heard of anyone leaving the jw's and becoming, say, a scientologist?
or a morman?
or a member of any other crazy cultish org?
I'm confused...
What about 'maturity' in how we all learned about Jehovah? Have to confess I don't understand who is capable of getting out JW and going to another... or am I still a blind with JW!?
A pertinent question:
How many times do you know an ex-JW went back !? Is there any rate or.. Guiness book!?
I'd call maturity level

south korean scientists stunned their rivals around the world last week by announcing that they had produced the first human embryos that were genetic matches for diseased or injured patients, and had done so by a highly efficient method that could bring further rapid advances in cloning.
it was sobering evidence that leadership in "therapeutic cloning" has shifted abroad while american scientists, hamstrung by political and religious opposition, make do with private or state funds in the absence of federal support.
the korean achievement, published in the online edition of the journal science, makes the current debate in congress over federal financing of stem cell research look pathetically behind the times.
I just read the title: "Cloning...Right Wrong..."
Well if science can explain and do, why not? Itch one has is own individual privacy and right to choose.

I will never let any religion command my life ever again.
i work at a college and just got as a new advisee a young jw woman.
she came to freshmen registration by herself which surprised me because in her application letter she said throughout her school years her mother impressed on her and her sibs how important education is and that they would be the first in the family to go to college and they would go to college.
also, she said that her father was self-employed in construction but that her mother was not employed (so free to accompany daughter to this very exciting day, no?
Nice,

Wow!!
That would be a veeery weak poor minded person... humm!?
After what I have experienced I prefer to be an atheist!
from what i have gathered, you all were once jw's and now hate them or the organization?
do you still believe in jehovah and love jehovah?
i have to admit i dont like, actually i rather dislike, some of the sisters in my congregation and i know that's wrong of me, but some of them really think they are better than me and are quite judgemental.
Hello there Marianne,
It's similar what I felt about JW, but I couldn't stand going to reunions and looking at that people... How can they speak of God's word and be cynical? I wanted a family together with me having the same ideas and support not hypocrites.
Let's say I admire you going there alone finding them stupid... Making a question:
Do you like to be alone? No human likes to be a lonely person; we are social people looking for some common people.
is this the place?
sorry for my english, i ll try my best.. i m new and hope to read some interesting arcticles here.. you can all read about me in my biography.. .
tankyou,.
Good morning!
I suppose I have a different day time from you all! About 6 hours difference from US?
I was born in
About my English in we all learn English, French or German at school for about 7 years... (Don?t mind the bad words I?m not perfect... ).
Anyway!
It's been long since I left the JW but still would like to understand what's going on... don't mid about the people in there (JW) but I still care about Jehovah's word and what I have learned (the good stuff).
I don?t want to give too much deal about this because I feel sick (you know what I mean...). One can become depress with sadness about all that brainwash!!

I just order "Crisis of conscience" from Freeminds (hope it works for portugal). It will take some time to read (english you know...).
But i am surprised about everything... Not only all this years quiet and silently suffering about the big "A" and having choosed my death. But also having troble with my family. I don't have any contact with them... not because (also) of JW but of they failurer educating and creating me and my brothers.
For a wile WJ studing gave me some confort but the fake love of JW, the cynicism talking in my back, puting me of part. Very nice! I was so naive.
Well i had two problems:
A bad father and a fanatic mother.
Anyway, i just hope Jesus hear my heart wisper. God knows what's inside me. I can't lie to Him
Did you know i never heard a positive word from my father ( like "i am proud of you daughter" or "i like you")? I allways hear:
"This beatch will just be like her sisters"!
I payed my studies, i have my job and my house. Don't need them nor they humiliation.
If there is an Armagedon i ask for a fast painless death.
roberta flack sang that song in the 1970's.
today, it's the anthem for jehovah's witnesses in the "worldwide brotherhood".
this religion says they are different.
What's WJ??......WELCOME PETRUSKA.
