I really cannot understand his reasoning. does he think its a form of "theocratic warfare" as advocated by the society? i'm really stumped here. good response - i would have done the same. Of course, I haven't dared bring up this issue w/ my parents.

it sounds like your dad ate up the society's response to the UN situation. Maybe if you pointed out various articles by the WTS condemming ANY association w/ the UN, it would have an affect? Just doesn't make any sense why active JW's cannot see this for the blatant hypocrisy that it is.

Must See Post!
by mommy inevery now and again there is a post that just pulls the rug out from underneath me, and touches a place in my heart.
lauralisa on another thread has accomplished this.
by others who have replied, i can see that they were touched as well.

the sad fact is that JW's are so brainwashed, they think they are being loving by doing this to you. hang in there!

Har-Magedon JW-Style -- You Really Believe It?
by Room 215 indespite an occasional denial or duplicitous ``we can't say, nor can we judge'' for public consumption, i guess all of us are aware that the official wt line on who lives and who dies at the big a is all unbaptised people (99.9 percent of humanity) as well as those among them who got baptised but are lax at getting to meetings and field service (maybe half or more of the present memebership).. my question is: what percentage of the rank and file buy fully into the party line on this?
i know inevitably there are hard-liners who spout it, but my experience is that the average dub, while not protesting vocally, has more or less privately concluded that it just can't be that way... too many really decent, well-motivated people are out there in ``the world,'' (and the corollary to that axiom, too many stinkers inside the organization, for that matter).

my experience has been that the average JW will not admit to these simple facts and will try to brush off your questions. And they do this to me, an active JW (right now)

Motivation
by ItsJustMe ini'm obviously new here, so i'm going to ask a question i'm sure has been discussed before but has me quite curious.
what motivates you to spend so much time discussing jehovah's witnesses?

i'm 24 years old and have been a part of this religion for 22 years. My wife and I are working our way out of this now. I need to ask questions and discuss certain aspects of my upbringing that only fellow ex-jw's and jw's would understand. I don't plan on doing this forever, but how long my recovery will take is anybody's guess - who knows?

I've Had It - I Just Can't Do it Anymore
by troubled inwell, it seems we're back to the same "you're a troll; you're not a troll" thing.
it seems that my posts make too many of you "uncomfortable," you have an "intuition," you "can't put your finger on it," whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
i thought this was a place where people can post and be heard.

Crisis of Conscience: POLL
by Grout inwell, i'm finally reading coc, and i must tell you that despite already being an ex-dub i was *shocked*.
the thing that got me was the gb's apparently unselfconsciously acting above all the rules that they would apply so harshly to everyone else.
maybe i'm naive, but i didn't expect that level of hypocrisy.. so what did you find most shocking in coc?

i dunno, the whole thing was pretty shocking. i was shaking w/ anger the whole time I read it. I still haven't read the 2nd book - looks like I should.
