  Ecclesiastes 7:10.

  Every age has had its problems that were peculiar to that particular age.

  Nothing new under the sun ...

  i am not a jehovah's witness but i am very interested, i have many questions and hope they can be answered here.. i do believe in god, privately.

  i do say my prayers daily and do believe god helps me in countless ways.

  but i don't go to any church.. i have always been impressed at how smart, polite and nice jehovah's witnesses are and i always make time to speak to them when they call at my door.

  What was the most rebellious thing you did while you were a devout jw?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  i was just thinking about how humans being imperfect and satan's influence was the root of everything bad that anyone has ever done.

  well i know that apparently everyone is vulnerable which got me thinking about what "bad" things people have done while they were a jw.

  i'll start it off.

  Rushed home from the Thursday night meeting (school/service meeting) to catch Billy Graham's Crusade signature closing song: Just As I Am

  I loves me some hymns.

  Hello and welcome, Lilly.

  40-something years ago, I was also impressed with the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  I thought they were the most wonderful people, and wanted to be just like them.

  Little did I know that they were under the control of the Governing Body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York!

  This body decides what literature the JW's will distribute, which Bible verses will be used in their ministry, even giving instructions on how to dress while in the door-to-door witnessing work.

  There is absolutely no freedom to express individual views or research biblical material other than that of the Watchtower.

  So, don't let that facade fool you.

  Ask questions and check things our for yourself.

  I guarantee you that you're in for an eye-opening experience.

  Blessings.

  Sylvia
