  Not aJW, but have a question

  by roseybarb in

  2. friends

  i hope it's alright that i post a question, even though i've never had any affiliation with jw organization.

  i have a friend who has been trying to convince me for years to study with jw.

  i've been doing alot of research on jw and was just wondering if people here would be kind enough to tell me why they have decided to quit their affiliation with jw organization.

  You would stop criticising the JWs if they do what?

  by greendawn in

  occasionally we get accused of being too harsh and venomous with the jws and the wts that directs them in all things.

  so to give a measure of how justified we feel in criticising them we could ask the question: .

  what things do the dubs have to stop doing or believing for you to stop criticising them?

  ok, i'm writing this thru tears as i just found out in the last 5 minutes.

  my dad died in august, and they had been together just 1 or 2 weeks over 70 years married!

  i didn't expect her to last without him, and visa versa.. i just tried to call my sister, and no answer there.

  if he knows all

  by abuttercup in

  2. beliefs

  i have often wondered..... they say jehovah is the begining and the end, and that he can read every heart.

  if so, did he not know eve would eat the fruit and then adam would follow?

  did he not know satan would try to pull his weight?

  Did any of you ever have "overzealous"parents?

  by Ex-Jo Ho in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this may have been discussed before but did any of you have crazy strict parents...i mean did they have even more strict ideas than what the religion already had put restrictions on?.

  my stepfather had been a crazy drug/alcohol addict before dragging my family into the "truth"...then it seemed he became obsessed with the religion.

  honestly...i don't know which was worse!
