i remember sitting at the meeting during this study. it was funny to look at the people in the kingdom hall and see them sucking in this brainwashing. i really cannot wait until I move and quit going to meetings.

active and happy jw
by scumgrief ini am an active jw and was raised as one.
i have been watching the site for a while and thought it could benefit from the opinions of someone who is happily a member of the jw's.
i will not get into any argumets that lead to nothing except name calling, and will not talk with anyone who is just plain mean (plenty of them in here).

it sounds like you have a nice congregation - I've heard that they do exist but i've always thought that was a rumour. In my hall there are "unspoken" rules such as - no sideburns past the halfway point of your ears, if you have a part it has to be a suit, not a jacket and dress pants that are different colors, if a brother is reaching out to be a MS he will not be considered before the age of 25. the hall where I grew up was even weirder, w/ the emphasis on protecting the kids of elders while ruining the lives of those who aren't kids of elders (almost got me). I wish you well in what you are looking for - but my wife and I are on the way out of this religion.

there is a reason why inactive and irregular publishers are coming back to meetings all over the United States - they are scared that this is "it" and they don't want to die at armageddon. they are salvation seekers and you have said so yourself - you are too. don't you think Jehovah will see through that? I find that pathetic.

again, your logic is flawed. If you can't say for certain that only Jehovah's Witnesses will be saved, than there is NO POINT in being one. organized religion is not mentioned in the bible. in fact, the word "organization" does not appear once.

i don't care if you post or not - I just read people's posts and respond to them if I feel like it. It really doesn't make a difference to me.
