  One sister's story was told in AWAKE! She sold her thriving daycare business because she loved it too much. The point made was that her heart was in her work.

  You cannot love both Jehovah and your job.

  Excellent interview.

  Gregorio is well spoken and has, with intelligence and good intentions, composed this documentary. He contacted Bethel's PR department (at about 20 minutes), and they said they were not interested and hung up.

  Some 1000 individuals connected to JWs replied to his call, about 1/3 being active Witnesses. None of that group agreed to be onscreen though their identity would have been protected.

  Greetings, Phaedra:

  I've always had my head in the clouds, almost literally. "What are you staring at up there?" curious bystanders would ask.

  Well, along with that existed an undue deference toward others. Because my heart and mind were wrapped up in the world of fantasy -- aided and abetted by WT theology and iconography -- it really took me a while to become grounded in the real world, a harsh, no-nonsense world intolerant of my retreats into Wonderland.

  Never aggressive, yet I have become mildly assertive when it's necessary to be so. My "no" has, truly, become NO! Gently stated, of course.

  I've come a long way, Baby . . .

  Et tu?

  One of my main problems with the WT: A very irresponsible organization

  by Hidden-Window in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of my main problems with the watch tower and, more specifically, with the governing body is the level of irresponsibility seen when lives of people are involved and their unapologetical attitude when people suffer due to their absurd policies.. how many people were imprisoned or killed for refusing to perform civil service in exchange for military service?.

  we do not know, but it does not matter, because the society does not even apologize for the harm their blinking light caused.. how many people died or contracted illnesses due to the prohibition of vaccines?.

  we might never know, but an apology is not on the menu.. how many people died for refusing (or disfellowshipped for accepting) fractions of blood when it was against the rules?.

  Thanks, Apognothos!

  As I reread it, what you have stated makes it very clear.

  Best.

  Greetings, Giordano:

  I gather you originally posted what kalk reposted:

  Someone posted here on the board, that JW policy on blood and vaccination caused death of 250,000 JWs, more than any combined oppressions from Hitler, Stalin, and other dictators. JWs are the worst enemies for themselves, but what to expect from suicidal cult that wants its member sacrifice for their publishing house.

  I don't understand the portion highlighted. In reference to JWs, does this mean percentage-wise, based on number of deaths against membership? Those dictators murdered millions of people.

  Thanks.

  Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!

  after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.

  i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

  I was a clean freak from childhood and parlayed my obsession into a profitable business (still at it approaching 70 years young).

  No shame, no coercion. . . .

  Of course, I do have other interests -- cerebral ones -- that earn me an income.
