it could be argued that exjws have issues in life simply because they were jehovah’s witnesses at a point in their lives.
.
do you think you or we are fairly normal considering we were jehovah’s witnesses or do you think we have a lot of baggage because we are a bit messed up ( even if we don’t even know it)?.
As an ex JW there often remains the bad habit of being on the look out for the bad or for evidence that things are getting worse
A feeling of angst is the sine qua non of all committed JWs.
The question is whether that is created by the cult or does it just exploit people who already have that personality type?
now i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".
i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?
maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.
There are two sexes (gender is a word that only belongs in linguistics) - he is male.
The boy is gay. He and his mum and his teachers and all his friends need to accept that and move on.
well i thought i give it a try, sharing my info.. obviously, not getting the hang of posting here.. you know where to find me on fb.. can somebody please explain how delete topics?.
Nathan. My main problem is not with your style of presentation - although that is a major issue - it is with your sensationalist claims.
You constantly misrepresent facts. It leaves people like us who detest the cult having to defend it from your illogical tirades.
The fuss you are making about whether it is a religion or a business is one glaring example.
Always present your arguments in a way that your opponent cannot correct any of your facts.
in july of 1969, i was 16 years old and was pretty excited by the prospect that the us would shortly land a man on the moon.
however, i remember, vividly and older brother at the time confidently stating that man would never walk on the moon, quoting psalms 115 - "as for the heavens, they belong to jehovah.
but the earth he has given to the sons of man.

Lots of people pointed out problems with some of your topics and yet you never engaged in conversation about it once.
This is a DISCUSSION forum.
Walk away or learn and grow.

If you are in the UK subscribe the BBC podcast series '13 Minutes to the Moon'. It's brilliant.
"the watchtower society is not a religious society for 👥 public worship, such as a ⛪️ church, but is a 💲 business corporation..."
➡️ please use and demonstrate this if you are involved in any legal action, it's not about religious rights and freedom, this is where they are 'fooling' their followers and authorities❗️
➡️ the purpose of disfellowshipping, disassociating and shunning are 'legalistic and pharisaical tricks' to 'name and shame' anyone asking (the right) questions about it's biblical teachings (aka) doctrines, (abuse) policies and the real truth about the 'truth' (aka apostate)❗️
Your posts are almost illegible.

Any politician or advocate who is encouraging the black community to demand reparations is their greatest enemy.
Black people in 2019 are not victims. Those individuals who think otherwise have fallen for an agenda that will keep them subservient.
news❗️ watchtower lawyer paul d. polidoro admits in writing that watchtower has a "practice of shunning".
do jehovah’s witnesses shun former members of their religion?

JWs who drift away and then start saying or doing things that contradict the teachings of the cult are likely to be shunned even if the elders have not taken action.
That is different from JWs who have simply become inactive and stopped attending meetings.
