jehovah's witnesses take action against opposing views
Right on!
i'm trying to figure out how long that i will be obsessed with this board.
i could spend 24/7 on here.
i think that's why i don't clean up the house as much.
I check out this site and a couple of others constantly. The internet is the new soap opera.
so i pulled the trigger, and im riding the bullet.
called my mother yesterday and spilled all the beans.
she listened.
I hope all goes for the best.

How much ya bench?
i'm sure this will have been discussed before..but i am new here, so i was wondering how many of you when you where active jw's actually beleived you were going to survive armageddon.
i personally being brought up in the 'truth' used to lie in bed frightened of it coming or world events always thinking i was too bad a person to survive, and even as an adult i always felt i was never doing enough or good enough to be 'chosen' for survival when the end came u were always made to feel like you should be doing more as though you could earn your salvation.
i have talked to someone else who i know has left and they felt the same, i was wondering how many of you guys actually beleived you would make it through armageddon
I was always thinking, "I need to study more, go out in service more, do this, do that, don't do this(and we all know what "this" means) and then maybe I'll be good enough to get through."
Looking back, I had really warped thinking back then.
I try and be funny, but sadly, never am.
the dubs condem all other denominations professing faith in christ as apostates.
they teach that christendom will suffer destruction as a part of babylon the great by the hands of god.. however, here is the thing.
my recent findings suggest jehovah witness falsely interpret and bend scriptures out of context more than any other religion i have come in to contact with.
In the movie Malcolm X, Malcolm needed Islam(or the sect of it that he found) at the moment that he found it. Later he found out that his loyalties were misplaced in the "Honorable Elijah Mohammad". After his faith was shattered, he moved on. But it had "saved" him when he was in jail.
I've thought that at times people find being a JW is what they needed at the time irregardless of whether it really being the "truth". I really don't think that way anymore. I don't see any good at all of someone naively following this cult.
