many have spent years associated with jws religion and having eventually left it for numerous reasons but if you were to directly pinpoint a source of the problem with this religious organization what would it be ?.

in my personal viewpoint it would have be the core operation of literature proliferation and other products associated with the wts.

corporation.. once you think about it everything is focused around the operation of the wts publishing house, its distribution and circulation of its published goods.

Do you remember this?

when g. was a litle kid, remembering the watchtower study at age 9, hearing all the stuff, the paragraph, the questions, the answers, about topics i could not understand, so it became so abstract that it was not entering my ears and brains.

it felt that i was no part of the group, someone alone on a distant planet.. do you remember this feeling?.

I used to wonder if I was in some kind of experiment and everyone around me was an actor (see profile pic!!).

Stock market 2018 turbulence

by mikeflood in

last week was awful for the stock exchange..... do you guys think something like the 2008 crisis could happen again?

the prophets of doom are talking about a 10 % correction....

Mickey mouse

There needs to be a 50% correction. It is cyclical and the U.S markets are extremely overvalued at present.

i'm being serious, i would like to hear from folks here that support him describe to me how that news conference was absolute brilliance, he answered all the questions, he knows what he is talking about.

just want to compare note with those who aren't his supporters (and have common sense) as you know this forum is here to hear both sides, so, have at it .

I saw some of it. He's delusional. And that's being charitable.

JWs and 9-11. What was your reaction when it happened?

it was shocking.. all these years later, i found myself crying for the dead for the first time..

Disbelief. I was at work in the UK and didn't see a TV until I got home. But I had been to New York 18 months before and stood at the top of the trade centre. I didn't see how it was possible for the buildings to collapse.

I went back a couple of years later and went to ground zero. I plan to go back up the new tower next year.

Sex before marriage

by Jules Saturn in

for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

Mickey mouse

I was raised a JW and observed their rules on sex before marriage. As long as my children are legally of an age to engage in sex then I would have no problem with them doing so outside of marriage. I will talk to them about protecting themselves physically and emotionally of course but they're not quite at that age yet.
