  i remember scanning real money and with photoshop pasting the picture of an elder on the bill over the face of the queen.

  then i printed many bills.

  it looked very real.

  Not everyone left the JW Org for the same reason...Why did you leave?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some left because they couldn't follow the pace.

  some left because they knew they were living a double life.. some left because they rathered live a life of sin.. and some left because they considered it a cult.. i stopped going because i was unable to keep up with all their demands and expectations, and i found them too controling.

  also because they cover their past and give false hope for the near future.. why did you leave?.

  JWs picking and choosing which rules to follow

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone else find that many, many jehovah's witnesses pick and choose which rules they want to follow?

  my boyfriend's parents are jws and i have many, many examples to share with you!

  i'd love to hear if any of you have known of similar type things, or if you know any other rules that jws commonly break.

  Does it bother you to realize that life is normal for those left behind?

  you know when you leave a religion or a place you worked at for a long time.

  you want to feel that perhaps there will be a missing irreplaceable piece, that represents the effort you put into the work.

  you know what i talking about, the comment at work of "this place would be lost without me" or in the religion "i am the main person who encourages field service around here.

  What silly rules did your congregation make up?

  by weinermcgee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  elders were famous for making up stupid rules with no bible base at all as an ego trip i guess, what were some of yours?

  i am not talking about the stupid rules that we all had to follow, just the congregation specific silly ones.. 1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut).

  2. suits only or no privledges.

  WTS: Positive information is believed, Negative is not believed

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it very interesting the way the wts has conditioned jws to automatically accept as true any information about jws that is considered "positive" regarding the religion while also automatically concluding as false any information about jws that is considered "negative".. i wonder if we could use this to our advantage... tell jws all sorts of outlandish, but positive, things about the organization and what jws are doing.

  eventually they will get to a point where they realize that they cannot even trust the "good" things they hear.

  hey, did you hear about how the wts recently purchased a c-130 so they can do literature airdrops in remote locations in third-world countries?

  JW Literature-why not public?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this might be old hat to those of you with more experience in the wts/witness life, but it struck me as very odd, perhaps even a bit sinister.

  i started coming here so i could find out just what my wife was getting herself into.

  on my first day here, i learned about the blood doctrine, and that was enough to convince me.
