Are Your Morals The Same As When You Were A Witness?
NO, they are on a MUCH MUCH higher level now, than when I was a witness...
i guess that i can say, from a biblical viewpoint, anyone that practices "fornication", having sex without being married, would be "immoral".
other than, i don't lie or cheat or steal or even kill anyone else!
do you view yourself a "moral" or "immoral" person and why?

suppose you met a jw and started talking, and right from the beginning you start questioning them and their doctrines.
you knew they were practicing "theocratic warfare strategy" just from your former knowledge of their beliefs.
however there is one major thing that they are honestly ignorant about?
great idea drew...
does your conscience torment you knowing that you are misleading the flock of god as you continue teaching them the heresies of the watchtower society?.
why are you staying in the organization and posting here at the same time?.
do you really believe that you can help your families to reject the watchtower society while remaining an elder and visibly appearing to support their lies and false teachings?.
I'd wonder what happens when you're an Elder, posting here; not believing their crap, etc etc etc...
and then an apostasy case comes up?

unfortunately, there may be similar reasons to why a woman might stay with their abusive husband (or vice-versa).
They're told for so long that they can't find anyone else, no one would want them, they're brainwashed, used and abused.
It's very difficult for many, I'm sure.
The reality is that no-one can keep their children from them; and the kids are probably the biggest reason for staying in....
(although the children themselves can cut ties; the part that really sucks I'm sure.)

probably the only think that would make them believe is a call to the society.
But then they'd just buy the stock answer.
When I told my mother about this, she said "If that's true, I could no longer be a JW"
Once it was proven to her (by asking an Elder in her cong.), she took their bait hook line and sinker...

I can't pass judgement on anyone.
But for me; you only live once, so I don't *THINK* I could ever do this (live a life I can't live with).
to each his own.
be honest.. my best quality is my humility.. my worst is that i lie..
honestly?
I try my best to be kind to people in every day life.
Best and Worst
gets me every time
how often do you hear about prayer at the meeting that, if you should pray that if jehovah wills that he should do something?
to me, this is a total waste of time to pray if that condition applies.
you see, if jehovah willed something, why would he need to wait for you to ask him for it?
no, I talk to myself all the time...
it's very therapeutical.
i'm sure this has been covered before.
i'm wondering, though, how many who got married as a jehovah's witness actually waited for their wedding day?
it's for a "good cause," namely my peace of mind.
yes
i used to read the old h2o site and i believe they brought up that this place was up......either that or i typed in jws on search.
