I don't know but it's truly pathetic to see it. Arguing and quoting scriptures back at each other. Then they'll tell you how close they are to Jesus and how he showed them the right path.
Pathetic and deluded in my humble opinion.
i'm not only talking about our former religion, but all faiths.
members will defend their faith, some very stubbornly no matter what evidence is shown to them, even if it's from the bible.
many a time they only want it to be seen their way and won't allow for another interpretation.. does it stem from the fact that they are scared about being wrong?

topics & threads about relationships, love, sex, men & women etc etc (and reniaa .
gets most responses.. .
I wanna thank Reniaa. I was losing interest in this board, thought it was becoming a little bit circular.
But since she has been here, it's kinda got me fired up and thinking again (about how I can get more witnesses out) LOL.
jehovah is apparently allowing the preaching work to continue to save as many people as possible.
(that's what i was always told and read anyway.).
last time i checked population growth far outsrips the growth of jehovah's witnesses.

Last time I checked population growth far outsrips the growth of Jehovah's witnesses. So actually the longer the system goes on the more people are going to die.
and why do people go on anti-depressants?
why do most people get depressed?.
most people get depressed because something is wrong in theyre lives.
Alcohol was another big problem I saw many many times.

We recently visited Australia, we were shocked at the amount of witnesses on anti-depressents. It became a bit of a joke after a while that every other witness we met was either bi polar or depressed and on tablets.
Jehovah's shiny happy people!
an incredible turn around when you see the watchtower index full of demonic handbags, houses, idols etc.
etc.. the new bookstudy book "keep yourselves in god's love.
" p.191 was a shocker for me!
Oh it's just imperfect men silly!
apparently the latest circuit overseer service talks are entitled:.
(1) "how much do you appreciate jehovah's provision of the faithful slave".
(2) "directed by god's spirit in our ministry".
Just guessing here... but it's pobably the same tired old bullshit they talikng about 20 years ago when I started going.
hi i'm dearone i have been reading here for quite some time.
presently am an active witness in good standing with two teenage daughters.
what originally brought me her was disillusion with the lack of love i experienced in the congregations i have attended.
Hi Dearone,
This was my experience too and also caused me to start asking questions.
The lack of love in many congregations is palpable. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.
Welcome aboard, you'll find plenty of love here.

jehovah`s witness`s have the most stable marriages..very few jehovah`s witness`s cheat on thier mates..most jehovah`s witness`s stay married for thier entire lifes to the same person..jehovah`s witness`s have the happiest marriages!..becoming jehovah`s witness`s,has saved many marriages..................................................my experience has taught me none of that is true.................what is your experience?............................outlaw.
boy oh boy, the affairs, the blow jobs, the cocaine snorting, the unhappy marriages, the divorces, the tears and tantrums, the door slamming. I've seen it all. I even knew a brother who spent the night naked in a wardrode because the wifes elder husband came home early.
Congregations sure are hotbeds of sexual tension.
i have been lurking on here for some time and i finally decided to join the fray.
i am 25 years old and was raised in the society.
fortunately when i was 8, my father left the organization and this allowed me to see the wrold from both angles, the jw (mom) and not (dad).. at first, i was strongly on the side of the witnesses and i even allowed myself to be convinced that getting baptised at 11 was a good idea.
Welcome to the board wordlygirl, sorry for your loss.
