  Media Exposure of JW's- Oprah?

  by Cali2CO in

  since we are unable to bring forth a class-action law suit against the watchtower society due to laws in place that protect religion, has anyone thought about or tried to expose the jw's in the media?

  people need to be aware this is not a loving group of people as they want to be perceived.

  everything i read recently placed alot of blame on jw"s who have left since it is their fault they joined in the first place.

  Very interesting feedback...thank you all for your input! Just makes me sick the way the leaders are ruining families and it sits fine with them.

  Only 37% of people raised as JW's stay JW's when adult.....

  this comes from a religious study of several faiths which included jehovah's witnesses.

  there is a ton of data in this research and there are several things that are very interesting about jw's especially when compared with other denominations/faiths.

  you can do a basic search of the study here http://religions.pewforum.org/portraits .

  I fully believe those statistics since my husband and I both grew up in the religion and both left. Most of our friends that we grew up with have also left. When discussing this with our friends it seems those who have grown up in the religion notice more hypocrasy. While those that joined the religion as an adult seem to have come from drugs, or something else they were running from and were looking for answers. What is sad is they all think just because we left the religion that we are now destined to turn to a horrible life that they left behind. Balance people! God forbid anyone have balance in their live, with the JW's it all or nothing.

Everything I read recently placed alot of blame on JW"s who have left since it is their fault they joined in the first place. What about those of us who were raised our entire lives in the religion, never being able to have a choice. Then once we make our choice we are disowned by our own flesh and blood due to the brain washing our families have been put through. For those that have large JW families and many friends throughout one's life, leaving can be such a psychological and traumatic experience. When one chooses to leave the religion and therefore leave behind everyone they have known and loved their whole life, it's not something a person can quickly get over. These JW tactics and punishments should be brought to light, I think Oprah's viewers would be absolutely shocked at what some of us have been through.
