Suicide or Real Freedom? - My Story As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses
by dubstepped in"sometimes i think the only thing i could do that wouldn't upset someone would be to kill myself.".
those were the frustrated words of my friend as we stood out in his large yard in the country, just about to enjoy a nice bonfire on a beautiful night.
what was it that could have been a lesser evil than killing himself?

question: Pinky rink, the ring i have seen on alot of the GB resembles a Masionic ring
by goingthruthemotions ini get infuriated when i see the god's (guardians of doctrine) sporting pinky rings or rings on there right hands.
like a club association.
when i try and take a look at the ring it resembles a masionic ring.

The Psychological Manipulation of the Watchtower.
by The Rebel inwhen someone interacts with you they can influence your thoughts and also manipulate your thinking.
i became aware that this is what i was doing with householders on the ministry.
we chipped away at householders with manipulation, and called it a return call.

Yeah I freaked when I realized my JW mountain biking partner had run an number on me and then so did the WTS. They can now manipulate my *** for all I care. I read and research the Bible on my own.

Canadian JW's exerting themselves vigorously. Really?
by clarity inthere were at least four jw's to one lone man on the street.
they look to be mostly elders.
if they are ... is this the example they really want to set.

I'd always try and find common ground and make it clear I was just another guy like them, nothing special just trying to share some Bible truth. Those guys on the vid are plain weird. Bet you they judged the guy on account of his earrings and appearance. I do however remember bring frightened when just not in the mood for service, so who knows what they were thinking..

Isn't it ironic that JDubs are the most judgmental people of all? You all know what I am talking about!
by macys inmatthew 7:1-5. do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2 for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

Whole thinks smacks of grade school cliques and my dad is better than your dad BS, pathetic. I went along thinking the 'end' would come soon enough to escape all the JW craziness when in. Didn't happen, any day now. -

Why JWs record and report time?
by ThinkerBelle inokay, so yes, i'm a born-in, but this point has always baffled me (and i guess i never bothered to research or ask).
what is the purpose of counting time in service?
when was it started and why?

I'll never even so much as look at one of those stupid things again ! Standing at the street corner making little notes about the 'householder' and so on. Then studiously filling in the boxes in RV's mags an so forth. Busy work for the Culture Club. Up your nose with a rubber hose GB ! -

6 years ago or so when still in was out in service to make an elder happy and we came across a young couple. My elder friend gave his speil and the lady seemed receptive and open minded. They being business owners were cautious so they looked into the religion and on the next visit they turned us away, stating that they were NOT interested in any shape or form. This chain of events is rather common now I would suspect. Good !

'Seek the Kingdom First' Economics
by Tornintwo inhas anyone else's family finances been victim to the 'seek the kingdom first' economic policy?.
for years, my husband and i have had our own business, my husband is not the most proactive guy, prefers to go in field service than to work, but he has always encouraged me to 'rely on jehovah and all these other things will be added to you', 'seek the kingdom first' etc etc.
there have been times, such as when i was heavily pregnant and we lost a big deal, that i have been begging jehovah on hands and knees to honour that promise, wondering why he wasn't helping us.

Wow Dubstepped, Epic post and great answers everyone. Same here, business owner. Was criticized one morning after having made time to go to the book study how I was trying to achieve financial independence, in front of the whole group. I retorted that I like to pay my bills. The look on the book study conductor ( the one who fired off the insult ) was priceless as we say ! Oh the same guy blasted me for buying a nice cnc machining center that gave us the capacity to do some special work that put our company on the map. Small mindedness, but then again nothing is too good for the GB retirement compound ! Had I of known then what I now..
I escaped the Borg by the skin of my teeth due to the fact that I'm a workaholic and don't know any other way to be. I almost gave up and sold all at one point is the extent of the fight that was going on in my head. Common sense and medication prevailed, seriously it got that bad.
