God_Dulision, You have really cut out all the c**p and said it like it is. It's horrible, but it is exactly as they believe. This was the very first thing that got me thinking that it may not be the TRUTH - I just couldn't accept it or be a part of it and I couldn't pass the buck to Jehovah - this was something I was preaching so I had to truly believe it. Sick, sick, sick, sick.

Why Christains make no sense to me, an example from Haiti...
by HappyGuy ini have some in laws who recently went to haiti to do "missionary" work at one of the churches there.
this "missionary" work basically consisted of singing and dancing and entertaining the church goers.
my relatives stayed at some houses owned by the church on the church property.

Obviously Christianity is a matter of faith, but at some point there has to be an element of logic applied in today's society. That's where they come unstuck. Why would anybody be saved in preference to thousands of innocent babies, children, elderly etc. There is no LOGIC to it and it is something I have never understood. In fact, if you were a truly good person, you would probably want to give your life to save a child wouldn't you - so why brag that you have been saved. As this thinking has got me tied up in riddles, I have had to conclude that there is no spiritl involved in this, only chance and unforseen occurence. You and me are not so important that our lives would be saved in preference to others.

Dave Allen takes me back, so funny. Can't believe we were allowed to watch him in our Catholic household, but he always managed to speak the truth without being offensive. I was taught by nuns too and I used to think it was a mad damaging experience, but having then gone on to become a JW, I look back and think it was a piece of cake.

Welcome Crofty from a Scottish lass - now a sassanach! You certainly have had a varied life experience which will be put to good use on this forum and in your personal life but you sound very well adjusted (hopefully).

As in THE WHO - My generation.
"People try to put us down
Just because we move dates around
The things we say are awful cold
You're all gonna die before you get old
Talkin' about this generation
1874 generation, 1914 generation, 1925 generation, 1975 generation
This is OUR generation"

Would it be fair to compare JWs to Terrorist Organisations?
by african GB Member in-terrorists are prepared to die for their course,.
-jws are prepared to die for jehovah.. 2 terrorists treat those with different views as enemies,.
2 jws treat 'worldly people' as enemies.. 3 terrorists are brainwashed from a young age,.

It's probably not a fair comparison but I used to ask my ex that if Jehovah decided that HE wasn't going to be the one to do the killing but his will was to be carried out by the Witnesses - would he take part in it? After all, it would achieve the same end result. He couldn't agree, but it did make him think that if you support such an action, you should be willing to carry it out. I think most witnesses would recoil at this, but there are undoubtedly some who would do it, therefore become terrorists, the same as any other.

The Day I had an Epiphany
by journey-on inmy eyes opened in more ways than one.
as i lay in bed that sunday morning, i knew i was never again going to rise hurriedly to get myself and the kids dressed and fed for field service.
i was actually feeling relieved and wanted to just turn over and go back to sleep, certain and content in my decision.. the day before, i had stood at the end of the block, after working a territory filled with barking dogs and people sleeping in after a hard days work week, and thinking, "never again".

I was a young mum with 2 small kids, struggling to make ends meet. I knew I had to go back to work part-time as my husbands job wasn't paying much at the time. I had bought my son a really crappy pair of shoes for the assembley and they were so crap the buckle broke off. I couldn't afford a new pair so I had to (with great difficulty) sew the buckle back on. They looked ridiculous. lI found a job (as I have a college education), and I was standing at the literature counter on the Thursday night telling a sister that I was going back to work part-time. My husband worked shifts so he would look after the kids in the afternoon when I worked. She looked at me in disgust and said "I think you are being very materialistic" - I was stunned and could hardly speak for the tears. I said I think trying to buy my son a new pair of shoes is a necessity, not being materialist. I had to go into the toilet and have a good cry. She was a sister who had a husband with several shops, a big house, loads of money. I decided then and there that I would NEVER go back. I got a job, met REAL people again and my life began.
