have been involved with the watchtower since 1968, hence my moniker....tired of the hypocrisy.. i am hear to listen, learn, share and help others.

i have not done much of anything in about 15 yrs.

maybe since my wife's folks are still active in it and i would not want them to get on her about it.

if an old thread regarding dr. brenda upton v. the wtb&ts had not been bumped up, i would never have come across this horrific but spellbinding information.

i recently bumped into a jw i know that told me that her watch had been pinched at an assembly , she then went on to tell me that a lot of worldly people go to assemblys ,so she should have been more carfull !!!!!!!

this is someone that knows im "worldly" i was gobsmacked when i had recovered from my shock i informed her that i would not dream of stealing something despite being "worldly".

i dont even think she realised how offensive it sounded and she is not usually a judgemental person , so it must be all that self righteous association she has been mixing with lol

JW's and Internet. Wikipedia?
by Burger Time in

jh posted a thread about how wikipedia clearly shows how goofy the doctrine of jw's has been in changing over the years.

so it makes me wonder could wikipedia be the driving force in the no "independent" study?

i know that my whole family uses wikipedia often and use it as a respected source when researching things.

do any of you have nightmares as a result of the jw religion.

i haven't been to any meetings in 17 years but i have nightmares a couple times a month about the whole thing.

in my dreams the scenario will be i am at an assembly or a meeting against my will and everyone is ignoring me and some are glaring at me and i am trying to leave but for some reason i can't get out of the building.
