Poll: Who Left Whilst Still Believing?

by brinjen in

15 years ago

this is for an upcoming youtube project.

i would love to do this on a mass scale... think there might be something "big" in the results.. 1. were you a born-in (including those who's parents converted while they were still children) or did you convert as an adult?.

2. when you left, did you still (a) fully believe in the truthtm, (b) partially believe or (c) realise it was all a load of crap?.

has the religion you've chosen made you a better person?

My father isn't JW and has made it perfectly clear he had no interest so we were always sort of on the outside of both worlds looking in.

one thing i've realized is that witnesses love feeling better than their fellowman.

did being a witness make you feel better about yourself?.

The WTS and Frequent Liar Points

by Hopscotch in

16 years ago

i have read on here of the frequent flyer points racked up by bethelites etc on wts business and it made me think of this.. .

frequent liar points.

the wts has told so many lies to its members, the public and the media that if there were points accumulated for frequent lies then surely they would have a huge tally of them.. .
