  This video is priceless! GB Samuel Herd tells women their place as a JW. If this video doesn't send you running, I do not know what will.

  I tend to believe that there are 3 types of people that become Jehovah's Witnesses

  • The ones that are raised in the religion
  • The ones that have had some sort of life changing experience and are searching for answers
  • The ones that are just bat sh** CRAZY

  The top two categories tend to eventually see that it is all a lie. Unless you fall into one of these categories, please run!

  you don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".

  I find the videos absolutely heart wrenching. These beautiful young people pissing away their lives on a terrible lie. I wish I could rescue them.

  No knowledge of settlements, and no curiosity, either

  i spent this last weekend with my mother, who is still in.

  the local newspaper ran a headline about child abuse by a priest, and she made a comment about the priests abusing kids again.

  without missing a beat, i said 'haven't you all been settling a lot of child sex abuse claims yourselves?

  Excellent response SoJo16. It is amazing how blind they are. My parents just watched the new documentary on the Vatican (on Netflix). They cannot gush enough over the sins of the Catholic Church. It leaves me absolutely speechless.

  i have read the site with great interest over the last few weeks.

  some interesting stuff thats for sure.. i have left the jehovah's witnesses (was almost going to say the 'truth') for some time now.

  i was one of the lucky ones that was baptised then faded, no humiliating disfellowshipping but nonetheless was very hard to get myself out.

  American Sniper - courage or cowardice?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  the movie american sniper is breaking box office records and of course there is some irony that a movie about a sniper is released on martin luther king day (who was shot by one).. but of course there is a world of difference between an assassin and a military sniper ... or is there?.

  some are making a big stink about it and claiming that "snipers are cowards".

  it seems unfair to me.

  I think The New Yorker said it best......"American Sniper is both a devastating war movie and a devastating anti war movie...."

  JW's - lack of knowledge of their own beliefs

  by Illuminated in

  2. beliefs

  why are so many jehovah's witnesses unaware of their own beliefs.

  .

  i would imagine the repetitive meetings, studies and door to door knocking would firmly root them in their beliefs.. yet, i've observed they either back out of challenging questions at times, or share a link to jay w org.. .

  When we are raised in this organization, we learn from a very early age how to sit for hours on end and tune out everything.  When I was a teenager (4th gen) I knew fornication, hellfire, and the trinity were wrong. I did not have a clue what they were......just that they were wrong.

  Am I going crazy?

  am i going nuts or am i just pissed off?

  there are so many posters who use abbreviations in their posts and so many of us have been out for years.

  the borg constantly changes everything from beliefs to organizational tactics, so those like me don't have a clue to what you are referring to.
