  How polite are you?

  by JH in

  often i'm following someone into a building and entering the same door, and most of the times, the person in front won't even try to keep the door open so that it wont close in my face.

  knowing that someone is right behind me, i'll even wait a second or two and hold the door open for that person.

  i guess it has to do with being well educated.

  Current attitude of dubs to non witnesses

  "what is their attitude to those who are not in the fellowship?

  is it a question of trying to get them in and if that fails give up on them and have no more to do with them or what?

  have they no tolerance whatsoever of other people's differences and beliefs?

  First Post

  by Rethinking in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first time posting, long time lurking.. came upon this site on accident a few years ago and dismissed it as a site for disgruntled people; however, in the past months i actively searched for it as it stuck in my mind.

  believe it or not, i practically read all of the topics.

  i felt, wow, i wasn't alone in my thinking and feelings about some things.. it all started years ago in my last year in high school and then into college.

  Ex JWs that suffered to an unusual degree

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  do you know of ex jws that suffered greatly due to the policies of the wts?

  i personally don't know any but i suppose those that left behind parents, spouse and children got a very bad deal since the wts dictates shunning from all these.

  also those that lost relatives to the blood policy.
