  by Witness 007 in

  2. experiences

  obviously a book written for kids by old dumb morons at bethel the book starts with abels murder {with pictures for the kids} people begging to get into the ark before drowning to death...a good lesson for kiddies!

  a women putting a tent peg thru someones temple {with pictures} moses killing an egyptian.

  etc a horrified atheist lady returned the books my mother gave as "gifts" {count 2 placements} after seeing the horrific topics, she decided it was "not apropriate for her kids.".

  You Used to be a Jehovah's Witness? What an Ugly Human You Are! (until you get a glimpse of the beauty)

  (truth be known, i am a bit of a softy, with a nice @$$shole exterior).

  i think when we leave jehovah's witnesses, there is this time where we look back, and it is absolutely killer.

  damn, what a waste.

  I don’t think people judge me on my looks!

  I'm a total nerd (Lab technician)!

  I Know I'm average looking and I'm ok with that! Because long after the attractive peoples looks fade. I will still be smarter than them and I'm happy with that!

  Daddy and mommy won't be in the New Order

  by dissed in

  it's time for my weekly sunday afternoon rant.. my story starts with my daughter seven years ago when she was 11. even though we were not associating anymore, we would let her stay with her jw grand parents and jw cousins some distance away for overniters.. coming back from a visit, she was noticeably reserved.

  she told my wife at bedtime, she never wanted to go back and visit grandma.

  they had told her we would not be in the new order.

  The point I was getting at is for some people they can’t justify removing their children from the family’s completely. It's all in the context of how you explain what’s told to the child and if you have an open line of communication between a child and their parents. Don't get me wrong I find JW shunning practices repellent I’ve seen it destroy lives and families.

  I was told the same about my (unbelieving) Dad heres what my father told me when asked "heres the thing not everything every adult says is true if someone says something that you don’t understand or upsets you. You should come and talk to your mother or me and remember not take everything at face value"

  Why Do people think they need A GOD to be good people?

  by LucyA in

  2. beliefs

  i decided after much study and soul searching that i dont believe in god.

  ive noticed recently (not on the forum but others) some people seem to think that if i dont believe in a god that im obviously morally bankrupt.

  i dont feel this way as i give a portion of my income to charity and i have never set out to harm anyone else.

  PWP: I was just trying to pont out that I was at least attemping to live a moral life by my own standards WITHOUT RELIGION and was attemping to understand why many people belive as my mother does.

  The most inappropriate remarks from Jehovahs Witnesses

  by jambon1 in

  2. friends

  i have a few which still either anger me, make me sad or just make me grateful that i am no longer one of them.

  1 - "well, everyone is going to die anyway, so if it at armageddon then ce la vie" 2 - "the disater today at the world trade centre is sad, but exciting" 3 - (an elder) "when armageddon happens, i want to be at a window, watching it all".

  sick, sick, sick!
