As I got older and began to exercise my "own free will" I was exposed to what I believe to be truth, "God wishes for none to perish..." and, " We are all made in His image..." So much for believing the punishment statements and low self-esteem issues.

Think about this though Highlander, you may not be a JW but you are a creation of God Almighty, and as many believe the giver of all life. I know this might not trouble you but there are many who believe that His judgement of our actions here on earth could lead to eternal damnation, and from what I hear, it's not a pretty place.

I truly mean it when I say that I have empathy for each and everyone who is in recovery from the teachings of JWS.. I found this site strictly by "Asking Jeevs" and thought that this was a forum hosted by those active in JWS. Having a JW as a classmate at a very young age, I have always been perplexed by the cult, as you call it. Raised in the Catholic church the subject of JW was strictly avoided as demonic, although we were introduced to the religious beliefs of churches I mentioned earleir.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all, as someone who has been delivered from drugs and alcohol I can say I know how "mind control" can destroy.

Viewing women as hot is strictly forbidden by JW, as I have read elsewhere. Further, it is also looked upon in all followings as sinful in nature to lust. Not to mention the degrading and childish manner in which you refer to those of the oposite sex.

See Highlander, you missed the humor of the statement. I was replying to anothers comment. Obviously you have nothing of value to offer me in response to a very serious query I posted. I may have to begin a tour of KH's to see for myself.

I am both relaxed and have a sense of humor. As I said, I seek knowledge and get sarcasm, is this what is taught in the meeting at the KH, respond to an honest query with sarcasm? BTW, how are you finding it in Haiti, the competition with pestilence, plague and voodoo I mean?
Just kidding, get the point?

Sounds like some very intense messaging.

Now that's what I'm talking about, I want to see ALL that He has created as afforded to me from my vantage point. When it's time to get down to the heart of matters with my Almighty it won't matter if I paid attention to the podium. As I see it, only in twelve step recovery can an inanimate object become a higher power.

I provide a retort above to your comments contained herein. Covering of windows in churches and offices is mostly an energy conservation measure. The thing I find most intriguing is the perception of control by the "organization" that is expressed in many comments. Vandalism, I can understand the logic, but how many Catholic churches have had statues destroyed or Jewish cemetaries been defiled and vandalized and insurance was not considered as an issue to prohibit the outside world from access?
