by StAnn ini've been searching but can't come up with the right terms.
recently there was a post of an article saying that the anointed remnant and the great crowd neither were inspired or different spiritually or something.. does anyone know what i'm talking about and can you point me to the article?.
thanks in advance for sorting out my confused mind!.

So, why do you really hate the Roman Catholic Church?
by StAnn inthis is actually a serious question.. when i was a jw, i was taught all kinds of things about how horrible the rcc is.
i believed it.
many years after leaving the wts, i began looking into the rcc for myself and discovered that everything i had been told about the rcc by the wts was a lie.

Is It A Struggle NOT To Get DF'd These Days?
by StAnn inseems like when i was young (back when that dinosaur in the green nwt was still roaming the earth), df'd people were rare.
a jw friend of ours was telling my husband (never a jw) that it's almost impossible not to get df'd.
my husband thought that was absurd until he started reading things on this board that folks have been df'd over.

July 15 Study Edition
by StAnn ini just read the first article in the july 15 study edition, entitled "the house-to-house ministry--why important now?

The Friends Ain't So Friendly
by StAnn ini've been thinking.
a lot of posts i read here say things about how the jws are all victims; how people feel so sorry for them; how people believe that the jws they know are really good people who are trapped in a lie.
then i read a lot of other posts about the cruel things the jws do, like shunning, ignoring df'd people on the side of the road with a flat tire, refusing to be charitable to their fellow humans, delighting at the impending deaths of millions of people, and blaming all of their coldness and heartlessness on the fact that they're just following orders from the gb.

Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Are Truly Happy?
by StAnn ini've been wondering about this a lot lately.
when i was a jw, i was always miserable because i was so busy trying to keep up with everyone else, i.e., field service hours, dressing appropriately, having the right attitude, feeling guilty about desiring things not approved by the wts, such as an education.
my own experience as a jw was so filled with unhappiness that it never occurred to me that anybody in the wts could actually be happy and have a joyful life.

Why Aren't There Windows in the Newer Kingdom Halls?
by StAnn ini've driven by several newer kh's in the past few years and noticed that none of them have even so much as one window.
just double doors on the front (with no windows) and a solid door on the back.
what's up with that?
