Jehovah's Witness here.
by nimzo ini have a question about my religion.
when people turn apostate, why do they seem kinda... weird.
they turn back to false teachings and their bible knowledge even proves that.

If you look up the word apostate independently from the Organizations 'guidance' you'll see that it means 'abandoning a previous belief, faith completely'. The Society use labels to manipulate and cause fear. All that is going on here is freedom of choice, the rest is extra and you get the choice to either walk away from those things or take a closer look. There are many so called apostates worldwide, not all of them can be wrong can they? Some of them may genuinely be hurting?

Help me, this new light confuses me....
by dawg inok, so if they change the rules and allow everyone who feels the spirit to partake of the memorial then that means that there may be no limit on how many are sealed.... am i right?
if thats' true then ther's no longer a 144k?
if that's true, what does that mean about the great crowd?.

They do not believe that they necessarily have more holy spirit than their companions of the other sheep have; nor do they expect special treatment or claim that their partaking of the emblems places them above the appointed elders in the congregation. They humbly remember that some anointed men in the first century did not qualify to serve as elders or ministerial servants.
haha, mum the other day in a discussion was saying how the anointed had the holy spirit in a different way

What has this religion become? THE WATCHTOWER madhouse
by Terry inc.t.russell began with a personal "purpose" which was to find a way to believe in/worship god while doing away with the beliefs he found to be personally uncomfortable such as hellfire.
he shopped around and cherry picked 2nd adventist views as a foundation.
to this he added pyramidology.

In my own view it started off wrong and its gonna finish wrong. The madness has always been there, right from the beginning.

I've reached a turning point in my life
by B_Deserter inlast may, i finally admitted to myself that i am an atheist.
to me, being an atheist means that i don't believe any of the silly nonsense that puny humans have come up with.
many of the religions of man were started during a time when mental illnesses went undiagnosed and misunderstood, a time when man couldn't explain why lightning struck the earth or why rain fell.

Is the Love of Neighbor Why The Tower Banned Smoking?
by WTWizard inthe watchtower society cited two chief reasons why smoking should be a disfellowship offense.
first, it defiles the body.
second, it betrays a lack of love on account of the second hand smoke that pollutes the air for everyone else.. but, is this really so?

I think smoking for SOME is another escape, a crutch and another support mechanism. While it shouldn't be encouraged anyway, it wouldn't do to have rogue JW's smoking to cope with life and not being trapped by the Borg.

The Screws are tightening! Fear is paramount for mind control to work!
by Gill ini have recently been noticing my mother's and other relatives' increased fervent and frantic activity in the wt society.. i wondered why they are becoming so fanatical and decided to take an indepth look at the latest watchtowers.. i believe there is a very worrying trend in the wt society now for a apocalyptic zeal that borders on fanaticism and now the wt is tightening the screws with its demand for 'cultic obedience.'.
in the past i wondered whether another 'jonestown,' or similar scenario, was possible, but though the wt may well not ask its members to take their own lives i wonder what the wtbts will ask them to do.. notice these quotes from the december 15th watchtower for 2007:.
page 18 paragraph 15:.

so long as dubs believe god is the organization, the society has no limits on its control - if they said jump they'd all jump.
