quite high, probably an 8, auxillary pioneered, reaching out to be an MS, I even declined to go to certain parties becuase the group may not have been "spiritual" enough ! the problem was that I had crept into leading a double life not long into the Dub career, sexual encounters, I hid it perfectly.

On a Scale of 1 to 10---How Devoted Were You To Being One of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus inas i grew up in the religion, i was a 10. i wanted to be made a "servant" because that was instilled in me from infancy.
i diligently studied ever piece of watchtower literature and defended my religion intensely.. when i got into my 30's, i started to see little cracks in the watchtower's surface but decided to "wait on jehovah".
then i started to research a little more critically and realized i couldn't defend the prophecies, the treatment of people and the hypocrisy that was becoming more obvious, that especially an elder can see.. it was a gradual thing---from a 10 to a zero!.

Reminder: Hate speech on this forum is NOT tolerated
by Simon insome of the comments on the anthony morris topics have been despicable.. if someone is an idiot or a biggot then they are damaging themselves.. if 'we' start posting vile filth, insults and threats then it doesn't convince anyone other than we're probably as bad..

How do JWs Not see how barbaric YHWH is? Its what started my awakening.
by BU2B inif one reads genesis from the first chapter through the end with an open mind, it is clear that not only is it not true, but that god is potrayed as a cruel, petty, childish micromanaging tyrant.
if one continues reading the ot this is just further solidified.
how do jws not see the obvious?

Did JWN Discredit "JehovahIsJudgeUk" website?
by RottenRiley inthey use poor reasoning, they wiggle around the question and ignore the fact the watchtower was affiliated with the united nations.
this website fails to ignore the facts that we were not allowed to join the ymca even though we did not follow the charter rules, the watchtower agreed to follow the un charter and did so from 1992 to 2001 when the scandal was exposed.. .
have any of you seen works to debunk their slanted arguments and dishonest play of words?.

Stillin , if I was a die hard JW when the UN membership came out it would have been the deal breaker for me, the hypocrisy is quite breathtaking, they are hemorrhageing members over far lesser issues, the membership demands an oath even greater then a flag salute, and they will have been DF'ing members who joined the YMCA! yet they still condemned the so called "churches of Christendom" that joined in exactly the same status,thats why they hushed it up, lied and used the "library card " pathetic excuse. Every JW that I speak to have no idea about their membership of it and claim that it's all apostate lies.

sorry Billy , time to wake up, Jeffro showed up your lies and dishonesty countless times , better start reading them over again ! the paper that has 607 written on it doesn't even warrant toilet roll, like very other failed prophecy before it, you lot just cuddle up with The Wild Beast , you are made for each other.

Most Annoying Things That Happen At JW Meetings
by LittleSister intoday i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.
prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.
he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

echo all the advice on here, run away from them, the are the very opposite of the "truth" they will bring you nothing to your life, just hatred, anger and bitterness, if you tell this "wonderfull" couple you study with some of the research you have been doing watch them drop you like you've got a contagious disease, not so great friends are they ?

Shepparding calls/visits are probably the most neglected part of their busy enough schedule , we've already advised many here over the last couple of years to reject unanounced visits , text, voicemail and phone , if anything it may be harder to make contact with inactive ones .
