i remember knowing that jcs would ask very personal questions about sex activities.
this article addresses this: https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15074595 .
There was an elder who was notorious for prying for unnecessary details, some parents complained about the inappropriateness of the interrogation of their teenage children.
He was later disfellowshipped and it became common knowledge he was a pervert.
i'm not sure if anyone remembers me since i do not post here much anymore.
i sometimes pop in around christmas time to see if anyone is interested in exchanging christmas cards like we used to back when i first posted on this site.
speaking of which, the holiday season will soon be upon us.. if you recall, i was married to a jehovah's witness and i had a daughter i spoke of a lot.
It's great to hear from you, we joined here around a similar time.
My what were young children are now free young adults and grateful for the hard choice we made back then. In many ways remaining JWs would have been the "broad road" for us initially but taking the hard path out was better for all of us in the long run.

I guess the problem with the video is that they may as well have shown a banner that says "we are a cult". This is the problem with websites. Accessible both by members and outsiders. Cults do better when material intended for these 2 groups is kept separate.
mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.
at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.
single shooter on the run, police doesn't rule out more shooters.
The problem is that the JWs both attract people with mental health problems and then add to their burden.

This is just a sad tragedy all round. If it's true he is a disgruntled disfellowshipped person the JWs will see this as Satanically influenced persecution. No doubt innocent people were caught up in this.
hi everyone i’m not pimi or pimo i’m pima.. i don’t think the gb have everything right but i’m sitting on the fence that maybe they do some things.. if the great trib starts i will jump that side of the fence.. this is a definite little sneaky advantage dodging but even by their own doctrine last min some could come in.. i suspect many are like me.. i spent years in bethel and am very disappointed and disillusioned by it all.. but at the end of the day i love the bible and think it is the word of god and i don’t see any other religion that comes as close to what jesus describes his true followers or who are fulfilling mat 24:14..
It sounds like you're taking Pascal's wager.
Welcome.
this book was published around 1990, but was never studied (to my knowledge).
does anyone know the reason why?.
It was my favourite book published by Watchtower. We didn't study it at the book study meeting, instead we got the Revelation book 3 times 😖
i'm looking forward to this, having watched a trailer i think ex-jws will enjoy it https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/everyone-else-burns-simon-bird-first-look-exclusive-newsupdate/.
