...is that it started in the "burned over district" in upstate NY along with 50 other American religions that have morphed over the years like mormon, 7th day adventists, some others i can't remember. It was just the time and place that sort of thing was popular.

16The Number 1 "hole" in the doctine of Jehovah's Witnesses...
by gordon d inafter years of research, i think i've finally come across the biggest hole in the basic doctrine of jw's .
they say that there is no hell...but that you can live for eternity in a world full of nothing but witnesses.... .
...i'm not sure, but i think this statement contradicts itself??????

Apostates/ex-jw's do you think that you are "addicted" to JW's-bashing?
by booker-t inif your best friend constantly bashed her ex-husband to you daily would you go nuts and tell her to move on with her life?
most people would probably say yes!
but why can't apostates and ex-jws do the same with the watchtower society?

by gay pride inis it just me or has anyone here become a very angry person after leaving the organization?.
i mean in the sense where...you're more vulnerable to snap in a big way...like you've just developed so much anger inside you?.
for example since being df'd i think its created so much anger that i really just dont care.

Are you kidding me? Get to a counselor or hire a lawyer. This kind of drama is not ok. Your life is going to spin out of control, and you do not want to live with the consequences of really hurting someone. It's not your job to see that she spends her money wisely. If you put your name on a lease, you have to take responsibility for paying the rent, no matter what your roommates do. Learn a lesson and next time, room with someone more responsible. It is natural to be angry about your life and being a JW. Find a different way to deal with it. We care about you.

I saw it tonight. I was thinking that I was grateful my parents were JWs and not those freaky holy spirit babbling joggers. That church scene was scary. I loved Borat.

I did the second time I got DF'd. I had been successfully fading for 2 years when they harassed my parents to the point I met with them. I shoulda never dunnit. The loving elders "heard" I had had a miscarriage and told me they needed to make an example of me. They never asked if it was true, they never said, "We're sorry to hear it. Would you like a free home bible study?" They told me I had 2 choices - DA or DF. I didn't know they could offer people that choice. So since I hadn't figured everything out, I refused to DA, so they DF'd. My mom heard the whole BS go down and to this day lovingly wastes her life energy waiting on Jahizzo.

Thanks unclebruce. Good lord. Quite the list. It reminds me of when I would read over the seven detestable things to see how far down the list I'd made it. Thanks to everyone else. I know it's a WBT word, but the crappy literature is translated into lots of languages, so I figured ex-jws from other languages would know it. It's pretty cool. I like other languages. Gracias, kiitos, bedankt, merci, danke, grazie, kiaora koe, takk, tack, nandri!!!

Is your wife a witness? Because maybe it could work out if they studied for the meetings together on the way to work, or he could witness to her, or she could break him down apostate style on the way to work. Positive: save ga$$$, sleep more, Negative: she could become a witness and leave you for him - ha ha
