LOL This made me laugh so hard! It's funny because you hit the nail right on the head... and so many of these are true for SO MANY people.
Here's one:

JW message board talking about "famous" apostates
by unbeliever inhttp://ewatchman-exposed.co.uk/research/exposure_1_strange_bedfellows__robert_king_and_donald_burney.html?lastpost=1141249562#msg11 1. james penton who was an elder in lethbridge, alberta canada became apostate in the late 70's, took at least 80 souls with him at that time.
god only knows how many he took through the years?
his book is intitled: "the apocylpse is not delayed because of my stupidity".

No mention of David Reed?
And I myself was wondering, too, about the 1-800-WHY-1914 crowd and that sweet lady who answers the help-line. :-)

Don't JWs tend to marry very early? I know, I know, not ALL of them do... but I know that many that I have heard of do marry early. I have heard the same story over and over again of dubs getting married when they were 18 and 19, 19 and 20, etc. I think a lot of people don't even "know who they are" at that point, so they really rush into it and then later on don't like each other.
For the record, my boyfriend's JW parents got married as teenagers because they had him out of wedlock. They decided to start going back to the KH about 4 months after he was born so they got married by a Justice of the Peace.
The only reason they ever ended up "dating" (translation: having sex in the woods and in the back of some old hick car) is because they were both on drugs, and also because they are both so completely unattractive that they could never get anyone else. I think that's why a lot of people get married (JWs and non-JWs). Both his parents are really hard to look at... they are both very dirty looking, very poor hygiene, and really just unattractive. Plus, they have really annoying personalities... I don't think anyone could stand them but each other. They argue all of the time, and one of them will drive off and not come back for days, so I don't think they really like each other, either. I think they were just horny and desperate... plus water aims at its own level... most people end up marrying on their own level. So a loser deserves a loser.
Let's face it... a lot of people in the KH ARE losers... and even losers don't like each other, but misery does like company.

Thanks again, everyone. You're all dolls.
I also appreciated the list of questions that interviewers cannot ask. I am about to be writing on that topic, as well, so I really appreciate it. :-) It's so funny, cause I was just going to look it up, and it was right there in front of me
Thanks everyone!

ballistic, I understood your point. I got it. :) You don't like what you're learning? Why are you doing it? You must like SOMETHING about it.
by the way, peaches, I really like that new picture of yours.
I always seem to get way off topic, don't I?

So what about Lent and Easter??
by Super_Becka inok, so today is the first day of lent (which is painfully obvious to me because i've chosen to give up my favourite snacks for lent and right now, i have a really bad craving for doritos), and it got me to thinking, once again, about wts doctrine and the whole banning of holidays thing that they have going on.. i've read the reasons behind banning things like birthdays, christmas, halloween, mother's and father's day and national holidays like canada day and independence day, but i have yet to read anything about lent and easter.. so, what's the line of reasoning behind the banning of lent and easter??
and i don't mean easter as in chocolate bunnies and easter eggs and all of that, i mean easter as a religious celebration of the resurrection of christ.
after all, jws have the memorial of the crucifixion, don't they??

Becka, what kind of Sunday School did you attend when you were little? You weren't always Catholic if you had Sunday School, huh?

The Establishment Clause and Hypocrisy
by underbeliever inthe establishment clause is the part of the bill of rights that grants freedom of religion in the united states.
it is why religions like the jehovah's witnesses can exist.
the witnesses have defended and elaborated on the establishment clause themselves, on many occasions, in the supreme court.

Very superstitious writing on the wall
by joelbear inother people have ghosts and goblins and fairy godmothers.. jw's have demons.. demonized chairs, forks, pictures, pages from books, dolls, etc.
etc.. the most aggravating demon related thing my mother ever did was throw away my fantastic of collection of toys from around the world.
i was about 10 and joined something called the kid's explorer's club.

You're probably so much smarter now! (actually, it's pretty much guaranteed). JWs tend to condition people to be smug... although I think a lot of them deep down are very insecure about their intelligence and that's why they need to try to act that way. It's kind of a protection, I think.
I know I didn't really answer what you asked... but I do think it's fabulous that you are learning new things all the time. Now that you are, doesn't that make you so much smarter? I think it's neat that when you were a JW you thought you were so smart, and now that you're not and you actually ARE so much more intelligent... you don't think you're that smart!
