  That's what she said, I know you can find these online everywhere but I am not about to go searching for them and wasting my time looking for that crap.

(I assume she meant those weird videos the GB has been releasing). I told her no, and then I told her "JW chanel on tv? isn't that the kind of stuff we use to ridicule?" I could tell she got a little upset and told me this was different because it was only for JW access. I could have said "why, what is there to hide?" but decided not to instigate.

  Base on the email address shown, it doesn't seem official (as in actually supported by the WT). Also seems like it was filed today.

  just a little disclaimer: english isn't my first language (i'm from france) thus the poor writing skills.here is the situation: i'm not a jw.

  however, i'm in the process of becoming one.

  in fact, i'm studying with the jw's, and i'll proceed to become an unbaptized publisher as soon as i finish the first book.to make a long story short i was introduced to the truth when i was 18een.

  I can see your perspective here. I looked up the scriptures. I can see why you are calling the FB poster a Pharasee, but I would have gone with a different approach. You may have got a response and some dialogue if you had tried to reason with them. Personally I feel name calling is unproductive and it feeds into their persecution complex. If just JWs were doing the name calling they may look at themselves a little closer.

  I actually didn't call him anything. He referenced a scripture and I just said "I prefer Luke 11:37-49." If anything I was applying that to the WT, the organization who imitates the pharisees by "going beyond what is written" and forcing all these additional rules on the people they control.

  Filing this alongside 'the ransom sacrifice wasn't for you' as one of those which totally slipped by me whilst inside.

  That's one of the major problems, that 90% of JW's don't actually know what they are suppose to believe or what the actual doctrines are! For them it is a basic JW Org = good, everyone else = bad.

  For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah

  2. friends

  i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

  i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

  i do not condone any crime.

  LoveUniHateExams - YOU ARE NOT A JW! Just because you call your self one doesn't mean you are. I can say I am a navy seal but it doesn't make it true. Just because you believe in Jehovah and the fact he is god doesn't make you a JW. Many religions now believe Jehovah to be the name of god. The only purpose for you creating this thread is to troll and illicit an emotional reaction from people here. By the way, the fact that you have hallucinated and that has fortified your faith doesn't prove anything except that maybe you should lay off the drugs for a while.

  Most JW's I know are nice people, that's not the issue. It's when you get down to the actual beliefs like shunning or letting your kids die, or having to obey without question, that's when it's a problem. Most casual visitors will never see the behind the scenes stuff, can't have bad PR.
