  Are We Any Better Than the Witnesses?

  by Caljuher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have just been on this board a short time.

  i have been visiting it for years, however, via the freeminds site since i left the jws in the late 1990s.. but there is so much anger and pain and hatred--especially for people who still want to believe in some kind of god or religion--on this board that it doesn't seem to be so healthy of a place.

  why so much hate?

  I think debate is good for the soul, but anger and nastiness should not be a part of it. I think everyone is entitled to walk their own path, and I wish them the best. Just don't try to indoctrinate with me or try to force feed me that your way is the best way. What works for you, may not work for someone else. I respect everyone's belief's, I may have a question or comment, but at the end of the day it is your right to believe what you wish.

  I find people on here friendly for the most part, I enjoy reading their thoughts and experience. Those that are bitter and attacking, I just scroll past it, just like I would in real time.

  Beautiful. I still haven't experienced motherhood, but there are times I think I would like to have a child or two. Seeing pictures like that really moves me. Lovely.

  Did you lose a confidant/sounding board buddy when you left?

  someone you would set and listen to their problems and they listened to yours.

  they were friends.

  but when you left they were gone.

  Hmmm, not really. I had long grew tired of the limited amount of people to choose as friends, none of whom I liked very much. Most of the females had these stupid cliques, and I just didn't like trying to pretend. I always got along better with males, as I had four brothers, but it was totally discouraged, so the few female friends I had, were either one foot out the door or so sanctimonous it just got on my nerves. I started making friends and school and at work, when I worked part time at a department store, so I had made transition anyway.

  2. friends

  a witness just informed me about a couple that we know who had their assembly recently, and it was announced at the private elder's meeting that there will be a special meeting with all the elders in the us in patterson.

  it was mentioned that we are now living "in the end of end of times" and that the un is talking about prohibiting religions.

  has anyone heard of this??

  Welcome!

  A letter and they kick you out? Is that all it takes? This religion really slays me sometime. It always boggles my mind that if you ask question, do any real thinking on your own and without the CONTROL of the GB and the "Watchman" you are considered an apostate or whatever. It's downright silly.
