  i got to thinking about something that happened a year ago.

  i was drifting away from the org, when my sister-in-law told me i was being selfish.

  she said she was at aloss for words as to what to tell her 11 year old daughter about me.

  Name Things JWs Believe That Are Not Actually Biblically Provable

  by minimus in

  here's one example: being a congregation publisher.

  nowhere in the bible does it say you should be a "publisher" and turn in your time if you preach.

  they try to twist the scriptures by saying that numbers are constantly being recorded in the bible so then conforming to the rules of being a publisher is from the scriptures.. yeah, right..

  "Genesis" spankings

  2. friends

  i recently met a woman here at work (a contractor) and discovered she is an ex-jw.

  eventually we got around to telling why each of us left the religion.

  she said the main reason for her was not doctrines, but because she was tired of the physical and emotional abuse she received.

  Should Smoking Be a Mortal Sin?

  by skeeter1 in

  2. beliefs

  jdubs hang their hat on the fact that the wts was right about not smoking.

  (the jdubs forget that the wts did not get it right on vaccinations or organ transplants...but that's for another post).

  granted, saying "no" to smoke was a good, healthy decision.

  my personal favorite, popular in my area in 1982, was the story that little plastic "smurf" dolls were biting the ankles of hapless witness moms who had bought the demonic toys for their little children.

  does everyone have a favorite laugh-out-loud jw urban legend?

  please share!.

  here's one to start the ball rolling.

  if you are not feeling well, have a headache, a backache, whatever but you would go to work but didn't go to a meeting or in "field service"---then you "sinned" against jehovah.....any others?
