so it appears that jws are letting their freaky side come out on fb for everyone to see.. there was talk on the ca yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of jehovah to delete their fb accounts.

the talk was solely about fb.

the speaker mentioned that jws are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative.

i know you all are tired of hearing about michael jackson but after seeing this video, i was reminded of the guilt that lingers after the leaving the jw religion.

as i understand it, his primary reason for leaving was because latoya was df'd and he didn't like having to chose between religion and family.

2. friends
i've had 3 different jws tell me this over the past few weeks.

basically their thinking is non-jws are not happy and when they appear to be its not real, its not a true happiness.

according to them, non-jws use drugs, alcohol and wild sex to make themselves happy.

while i've determined that i'm agnostic, this one guy was pretty good...he was practical and funny.

he made the bible seem more like a good self-help book than a "book laws to be obeyed or else you'll die".
