"Amish - Out of Order"...Have you watched this show???
by freshstart in
1. jw
2. experiences
it comes on the national geographic channel and it's about young people who choose to leave the amish faith/way of life, the backlash from their families, and their adjustment to the "outside" world.

it's fascinating for me to watch.

some of the experiences are unique to amish, but so much of it is similar to what people feel when they decide they no longer want to be witnesses.

hello i am relatively new here, and i apologise for my english in advance.. this is a very irrelevant and probably very stupid question: what does the word "borg" mean, or where does it come from?

i understand it's used for the organisation, but i don't get why.. also, where does "kool aid" come from?.

thanks and sorry again!.

Beware of other religions, as they will highlight our un-bliblical teachings!

2. beliefs
should you investigate other religions?.

i had attended christian meetings for nearly a year, and i enjoyed telling others about gods kingdom, says miguel, who is now one of jehovahs witnesses in south america.

then i started listening to religious programs on the radio and watching religious preachers on television.

Just owned (and pwned) a Jehovah's Witness website owner! Must Read!
by garbonzo in
1. jw
2. friends
so i emailed the owner website that sells various jw and creationsit stuff, a guy who is supposedly a jw with these simple words:
