  WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does the watchtower edit those articles about jws on wikipedia all of the time?

  some of the stuff is really far out there... like one thing under the "practices of jws" said that jehovah's witnesses are discouraged from but not prohibited from voting... and if they want to vote, other jehovah's witnesses don't discourage them from doing so!

  that is obviously not true... i know people that have gotten warned and eventually disfellowshipped for voting in an election.

  Why are so many JWs hicks?

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, i know this might sound like an obvious question... but in all reality, why are so many jehovah's witnesses hicks?

  why does it seem that there are so many in rural areas?

  i hope this doesn't offend anyone... i don't really mean it to be an insult to any of you, cause obviously i consider most of you a lot smarter than some regular jw (or some stereotypical hick).

  Kingdom Ministry issues

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, i am not sure about this, even though it's probably pretty obvious to everyone, but what exactly is the kingdom ministry magazine?

  it's something that is available only to active jws, right?

  i know that they don't go around handing it out like they do with the watchtower and awake!

  Where else has WT slammed higher education?

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that i have not been on this discussion forum for quite a long time, and to anyone that might have messaged me, i'm sorry if i didn't get back to you and i will still try to.

  i kept very busy with school, and then after my finals i had so much going on with family members visiting from out of town for christmas, new year's and a couple of birthdays in the family.

  i hope everyone had a great christmas and i was hoping that you could help me out with something.. i am trying to collect as many articles and publications from the watchtower society that frown upon college and higher education as possible (don't ask why, it's just a little personal project of mine).

  Primetime show w/sick perverts

  by kristyann in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  okay, they sure are having a lot of television programs lately regarding sexual abuse/assault, etc... did anyone just see that primetime show on abc about the sick guy that was making phone calls to fast food places and saying he was a police officer and telling managers to strip search employees and hit them and make them perform sexual acts and stuff?

  and the freaking managers and stuff actually did it!

  i almost cried... it was really sick.

  an Awake from 1993!?

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, i am in the library at my college and seriously, five minutes ago i was walking past some tables in the building right outside the library, these are tables where people just sit and hang out and talk, and sitting on the table was an issue of awake from 1993!

  why on earth is someone passing that out?

  it is like pretty old looking, some of the pages stick (gross) and some of the pages are like bent over (dog-earred).

  JWS and Body Piercings!

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this may sound strange, but do jws have any specific teachings on body piercings?

  i know that mormons do... they only allow females to have one piercing in each ear and then they must wear "tasteful, modest earrings"... in other words, i don't think they're wearing big hoops or dangling chandalier earrings... but what do jws think about piercings?

  my boyfriend's sister got her eyebrow pierced... and her "jw" parents encouraged it.

  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.
