In the very early days of my explaining to certain witnesses my doubts, I kind of ran through all of them. They probobly merged into one big hodge-podge of apostate doubting nonsense. - The nephilim penis size, the animals in the ark, the she bears killing the kids, Davids baby being killed by god for his adultery, jesus sacrifice not really being a sacrifice, the torture of JW's in the camps, appointment of elders, the changing doctrines.........But more than a few elders/rank & file witnesses told me that I "think about stuff too much". "You think too deeply Jambon". I mean for god's sake, isn't that a good thing?

In the congregation. Why do so many of those in authority go so badly wrong? Like, really badly wrong. A group of overgrown schoolchildren competing with each other & alienating the congregation from themselves. Feel free to cite experiences.

No. But I did love my children. God bears no resemblance to me. For that I am grateful. What a hideous bastard he is (or is invented to be).

by minimus inyou don't need to exaggerate the foibles of jws to get the point across that they are not "the truth".
can you state some facts that show that jehovah's witnesses are not "normal' and that their religion is weird and simply abnormal?.

by jambon1 inmore than 2 years ago, i spoke at lengh about my main problems with the organisation, the things which made me unhappy to be a jw.

She told me I was being critical & that we need the meetings. She said that it is'nt asking too much of families and that it is right that they have 3 meetings spaced through the week. I disagreed. we argued & argued about it. Then the WTS speaks. They say, basically what I was saying (perhaps what she was thinking), and she gulps it down without a word of disagreement. Even commending the Society for the kind concession they made for the 'worn out' brothers! WTF? Had I not been repeatedly saying that? I despair!

My Sister Finally Called Me... After My JW Brother Completely Told Her Off
by cognac inwell, for those that don't know the story, here's a quick recap.
my sister, mom, and dad felt i was an apostate, freaked out on me, then went to the elders and ratted me out.
i haven't spoken to her in about 2 months because i didn't like the way that she treated me.

Wouldn't we all like to see what the future holds for them in say, 10 years time? Unfortunately, I have also had to stop talking to my wife about the religion. It never is productive & can sometimes be quite messy. She has made her bed though. Now she can lie in it. I will say nothing, nor will I 'help her out' when things go wrong in the future with our kids or other matter within the org. I just cannot go there again. I tried to help her see. But she argued until she defended that organisation above my own resonable feelings about it (and tried to slur my character to justify her disdain for my arguments). They are in a sense married to the filth that is the WTS. They are also having their reward in full. I hope it's worth it.

{The Simpsons} = Did you know any "Ned Flanders" types in your Hall?
by Witness 007 inus brothers would be having a conversation about sports and this brother "flanders" would always start a spiritual conversation: "on a sunny day like this i just want to thank jehovah for my blessings....i wish we had meetings everyday....i feel bad i didn't go witnessing this weekend.
" .
many times i wanted to strangle him!...his wife left him and the truth, since then he is worse..

Plenty! Prayers out loud in cafes. One brother I knew would reply after telling him your problems, "just pray about it". Or if he was being a bit of a dick, he would ask: "are you praying about it"? What a knob sack.

They tried to ban sooking on the spitting snake. Quite frankly, it's none of their business.
