  firstly some background.. when i was 21 i went to live in sydney and left my congregation in tasmania.

  until then i had never seen the bad side of the borg.

  being new in town and staying with my non jw sibling i immediately checked in with the local congregation and soon found a fellow witness to share an apartment with.

  'God Bless You' When You Sneeze?

  by willyloman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we're all familiar with the wt's "history" of the origin of the phrase "god bless you" ("geshundeit" in german) in response to someone's sneezing.

  the wts says it originated with the pagan belief that the soul leaves the body when you sneeze and the "bless you" is part of a superstition to protect you from demon invasion.

  given that background, jw's don't say anything when someone sneezes.

  Peer Pressure - the WTS Greatest Weapon

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my early years of questioning wts theology and methodology in the late 70s', i was entirely on my own.

  i knew that something was seriously wrong with their doctrines, but there was no internet, no discussion groups, and in my particular area of the uk, no listening ear.

  in fact everybody seemed so pleasantly in love with the truth and so drawn along by collective enthusiasm that i seriously began to question my own attitudes.. sometimes i would wonder if i had gone quite mad, lost god's spirit, or had accomplished some dark deed in my past, that unknown to me was stripping me of my faith.
