They fall foul of societal norms as do orthodox jews, human instint is to repel anything that threatens their sense of security and traditions.

Are the JW's persecuted in any way?
by JH in.
jesus said that his followers would be persecuted like he was.. so, are the jw's more persecuted than any other religions, and if so why?

How can Jehovah be a God of love if he sanctioned so much death and destruction as documented in the OT?
I think Christ has out done him on the love quality. -

Ozzie,
what doctrinal things did you discover to be wrong aside from blood and 1914.
Did your views of the status of Christ and the trinity change.
What about preaching? It seems that Christ wanted his followers to preach?
I was talking to a christian theologian who said that as much as he loves his christian faith he does not feel he has sufficient knowledge to preach the Gospel. Maybe he is correct or maybe he is underestimating himself. -

Would they be allowed to have sporting competition?
They would say that that is about ego so would probably ban it. -

The Jw's have shifted the meaning of christianity from a faith based acceptance of Christ to a Judaic follow the Law regime.
They wouldn't be as bad as the Taliban but they might have Russian style gulags for the no hopers and Chinese re-education camps for those that have a glimmer of hope of returning to the fold. -

Misrepresentation
by quango inmy understanding of the "big snooze" is that the essay maintains that jws have misrepresented quotes from secular sources.
is this message board not an obvious misrepresentation?
it claims to represent jehovahs witnesses (in its title)yet the vast majority of posters are anti jw and many have been expelled.

Ok,
Well it doesn't really make sense then because the whole point of this forum is to get at the truth of things with some humour thrown in here and there. You haven't come across to me as someone that needs kicking off this forum. -

Defd,
How did you transgress the laws of this forum? Were you being vulgar? -

I think preaching would be a part of their national service.
Smoking would be banned which would be a good thing.
Any other ideas? -

My Spooky experience,
I was driving on a normal main road a big old van with my girlfriend sitting next to me, it was about 12 midnight. As I was approaching a cemetary on this main road I heard three sets of three bangs on the roof of the van. The first set didn't worry me as I thought I hit tree branches, the second set sounded like someone was on the roof of the van and banging with his fist and I thought how can that be and the third set caused me to stop the van and feeling silly got out and looked to see who the hell was on the roof of my van and playing this stupid trick. Of course there was no one and I saw no one running away either and I would have easily noticed when we got in the van at the start of our journey if some prankster had jumped on.
The tree branches were way to high to have knocked my van, I checked this. I got back in the van and asked my girfriend if she had heard anything and what did it sound like - we were in agreement. It really spooked her.
My father had died about a month before and this cemetary had been one that we had visited to bury him at. I felt that this was the right place but everybody else said no so we buried him somewhere else.
It's as though my dad was trying to tell me I didn't want to be buried here anyway or that I should have insisted on this cemetary. That's just the first thing that came to my mind not that I believe it.
I drove down that main road again several times but nothing.
