  This discussion board is just the medicine I needed

  a big thank you to those who created this board and for all the amazing people who post here.. truth be told (no pun intended) i have seen other religious boards out there but never felt compelled to join since i didn't feel qualified to speak one way or the other regarding their beliefs.

  this board is another story.

  i was raised as a witness but never thought so many people all over the world had a similiar past as i did.

  I like peaches

  by jgnat in

  2. friends

  looking at the different ways my sister and i approach life, i'd decided people are either peaches or they're lobsters.

  my sister is all tough and crusty on the outside.

  you'd never know if something is bothering her.

  What Do People Hate Most About JWs???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think most "worldly" people consider jws a nusiance---especially on a saturday morning!

  they hate being bothered by peddlers at their door.

  some people can't stand the witnesses' smugness and self righteous attitude.

  People turn back to the religion they know best, when in distress.

  as a teenager, i was not real into the religion.

  i went to meetings, lived by my mothers rules, and had a lot of witness friends.

  on the flip side, i had dated nonwitness people in high school, was sexually active, drank and partied on the weekends and hide it well from my mom.

  It just seems that Witnesses are less active these days.

  i remember being a teenager and being at friends home on saturdays, and every time you turn around there was a witness knocking at the door.

  my non-witness friends would be nice, and say no, as they did not want to insult me.

  even though, as a teenager, i was not a witnesses (baptized) and did not make a public show of my connection to people outside of the congregation.

  What percentage of those disfellowshipped get reinstated?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember reading somewhere that only 1/3 of people disfellowshipped get reinstated, but can't remember where.

  it may have been one of franz's books, or even a watchtower.

  can anyone remember if such a figure has been given, and what it was?.

  What bothers you more, snakes or spiders

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is pretty common among us humans to have an issue with one of the big two.

  we either have a discomfort with them, or just dislike them all together.

  personally, i am not real against being around either, but if i had to choose which one i see in a more negative way, it would be spiders.
