  Pew Results on JW's and Interesting Commentary

  by NYCkid in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the pew forum released it's results of the u.s. religious survey.

  although the results found that americans are becoming more religiously tolerant, evangelicals and jehovah's witnesses are the least likely to be tolerant (not surprisingly).

  to see how the jw's ranked, go to http://religions.pewforum.org/ and click on any of the four categories, then find jehovah's witnesses.. for an interesting commentary of the results, go to the blog http://www.acbnyc.blogspot.com/.

  Cycles of Armageddon Hysteria

  by Jeremy C in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i departed the organization in early 2006, i was giving some serious thought as to why jehovahs witnesses were going through a period of heightened expectation of armageddon.

  the district convention theme for 2006 was "deliverance at hand", and it was announced by the governing body that a stinging message would be carried out against "false religion" in the fall through a tract campaign.

  certainly throughout the organizations history, convention talks and watchtower publications have always used manipulative tactics in urging a sense of urgency; even in times of relative peace.

  Suicide story - How many times does this happen.

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a pioneer couple were obviously poor so they shoplifted some meat from the supermarket...they were caught and charged and being a small town everyone would know about it, so they killed themselves before the elders could organise a linch mob.

  sad story.. another brother just drove off a cliff....brothers would later say how he must have felt guilty over something...idiots!

  not nice....he may have been mentally ill or had other issues.. does this happen alot around the world with witnesses under so much pressure to be perfect?.

  Graduating from collge next week

  by NYCkid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted share that i am graduating from columbia university next week with an undergraduate degree in sociology at the age of 39. see, it's never too late, for anyone out there considering attending college.. my partner and around 10 of my closest friends will be there to cheer me on, which is overshadowing any disappointment that my family will not be there, or as of today, yet to acknowledge this accomplishment that means so much to me (i sent grad announcements a few weeks ago along with an invite).

  in all honestly, they live across the country so it is an expensive trip.. anyway, despite the student loans, hard work and sacrifices, it has been well worth it.

  i remember back in h.s in the late 1980s, i begged my parents to let me attend college, but of course, the end was coming and it was a waste of time.
