Were you born into the jw faith?

by nakedmvistar in

jw

how many of you on this forum were born into the jw faith?

do you think this put you at a disadvantage when leaving the org.

do you think that someone who becomes a witness later in life would have an easier time adjusting back to a "normal" life?

Born into it. got out in 1975....when two things happened 1] I went to college and 2] Expected Armaggedon didn't come....in my house it was taught half truths= total lies.....that's how I started to see the WT...since my concience was clear on this point, the adjustment wasn't so bad, but my JW mom had a rough time with it and that will always be the point of contention between us...not even with the pedophile issue in the organization is she willing to concede that maybe, just maybe WT ain't what they pretend to be. Of course 50+ years in the Borg can put a mental hold on a person, but you never know....sooner or later the spell will break, maybe not.....rocky220

by TR in

is it morally wrong?

obviously it's illegal to kill a rapist, unless maybe they are caught in the act.

but to premeditate the killing of a child rapist?

JWs compared to Raelians- ABC News

by Gerard in

"many religious scholars, though, see a broader definition of religion and the raelians fit it, they say, just as scientologists, jehovah's witnesses and mormons do.

Abusive JW Elder to be released from jail...

by zenpunk in

...in 6 months for good behavior.. this man, james barratt of rugby england was put in prision last summer for molesting boys, including one of my relatives.

the fact that he is only going to spend a year in jail sickens me.

not being familiar with the british court system, i need to ask the board: is there a parole hearing like in the us?

rocky220

Cruzanheart and me are starting Lobster patrol right away.........but seriously, how can elders be threatened by a convicted pedophile????? that's just crazy!!!!!!!....rocky220

by badboy in

friends

ps.. chocolate made from from cocoa beans which comes from the theobroma cacao,theobroma means food of the gods.. honey comes from nectar,also a food of the gods in the greek gods scheme.

should jws eat chocolate or honey because of the pagan connections?.

croissants r connected with the siege of vienna,should jws violate their pacifist principals by eating croissants?.
