Has your name or reputation been maligned by the Witness gossip-mill?
by stuckinarut2 inas we all know, witnesses routinely share in gossiping, slandering or maligning the name and reputation of those who are "spiritually weak" or ones who "fade" or "stop associating".. they feel it is ok to speak badly of such ones who "have left jehovah's organization".. of course, some of the worst perpetrators of this are elders and their wives, who insidiously plant negative stories in the minds of all they interact with in the congregation.
they may never have actual facts, but since when do facts matter to witnesses?
however through such conduct they manage to separate people from one another, or cause rifts amongst former friends.. this sort of conduct is plainly inappropriate.. but what scriptures could be used if the opportunity arose to confront such ones about the way they have behaved?.

I met and was talking to an Elder at the shopping centre who did not at first know who I was when he finally realized to whom he was speaking he mumbled something about Satan and ran off So I would say from this experience my reputation among the jws was not good

All About The Words We Used
by dubstepped inin the time since i've left the borg behind i've had a few things hit me as to how words were used.
i'm wondering if anyone else has some similar examples, but here are some things that have made me think:.
watchtower - my whole life i saw this as a thing of protection from outside evil forces, and then when i left someone pointed out "isn't that what they used to keep people in prison".

Is this a normal JW practice? Warning, this will be a bit graphic.
by Sequoia inthis post may be disturbing and i apologize, but i'm just trying to find out if this is a practice the jw teaches.
i was taken advantage of by a guy claiming to be a jw preacher.
he took me to his house supposedly so i could give his daughter piano lessons, and then he basically forced himself on me while telling me he was in love with me and wanted to marry me.

no it does not teach people to do this while you won.t find many WT supporters on this forum for us to support a strawman based on your experience is not ethical and if used to discredit the wt then it's counter productive

Why do some Jehovah's Witnesses choose to be atheist or agnostic?
by Cassaruby in"traumatic as the initial transition may be, it can lead to the development of a truly personal relationship with these two greatest friends [the father and the son] .
.. "whatever sense of 'belonging' that membership in some religious system may create, it can never compare with the power and beauty and strengthening benefit of the intimate personal relationship the scripture presents .
from reading joseph campbell i've come to understand that there are functions to religion or mythology.

agnostics admit they don't know or may I submit don't want to know And why should they make a choice I'm reminded of a story where the Nazis gave their victims a choice right or left door not knowing both of which meant death which they accepted cause they told themselves it was their own fault for choosing the wrong door

Music of the 60's ... Peace Love and Understanding
by Finkelstein inretrospectively looking back at some the music that was being produced during .
the 60's, 70's and even in the 1950's there really was a lot of good music without the.
entailing commercial visual hype that so apparent in popular music today.. this was of course pre music videos, the music had to stand on its own to create its own public appeal.. whats some of the music that you fondly remember all you baby boomers ?

The Amazing Teeth of the Great White Shark
by LoveUniHateExams ingreat white sharks are able to subdue and eat almost anything they come across, thanks to their amazing teeth.
consider: the great white shark (carcharodon carcharias) needs to catch and process food in order to survive.
its teeth are remarkable, being arranged in rows and rows that move forward, like a conveyor belt, so that these animals always have a full set of functioning teeth at any one time.. furthermore, the shape of this shark's teeth changes throughout its life.
