Are there really any 'famed Watchtower scholars'?
on another thread a new poster the truth is mine talked about needing to stay undercover so that he doesn't lose control of his family to all of his well meaning theocratic relatives.. i remember reading a number of success stories about how some on this forum managed to get out with their families intact.
in particular i was looking for mad sweeney's account of his family bible study night and others who were able to find a way to connect to their loved ones.. i imagine there are a number of lurkers/posters who would like to know how they accomplished that..
I for one would like to know how to get my brother's family out of the JWs intact.
Very difficult as he acknowledges that the JWs are not very scriptural, but still believes that they have the TRUTHtm
you might be a jehovah's witness if .
you know when nisan 14 is but you forget you own birthday.
you wash windows for a living but you own five suits.
Although being ignorant as to real scholarly research in any theological field you still feel that you know more about the bible and most other religions than people who actually practise their faith

I have read this before. There could be several reasons, but one could be that SOME educated people think that they're smarter than everyone else and that they can cover their tracks with spouses and others.

it's a "mortal sin" for a witness to not "abstain from blood" or smoke, yet witness elders who work in the medical field are free to administer blood transfusions.
and sisters that work in a supermarkets in the section that sells smokes are free to do so.....it's like not being immoral yourself but being a "pimp daddy" for others..
Are there really any JW MDs? I'd be very surprised.
in the 1980s, as a teenager, i had some fascination with alternative lifestyles.
i was never gay, i just thought i was.
i told my girlfriend about this and she ended up telling her dad.
The bible says alot of things. Many things are disgusting to the Almighty. That's ANY sexual relation aside from marrige. The bible says that even THINKING of relations are offensive to God....so, homo's are the same as everyone else. None of us satisfy God's high standards.
That's why so many are thankful for Jesus who takes away the sin of the world.
no offense intended on the homo's point

you may be a jw ........if you spent last saturday traped in a car with at least 4 other people you may be a jw.. if you have sat through a sheparding call where you were told you are unworthy you may be a jw.. if you have alienated your worldly relatives with your preaching you may be a jw.. if you have ticked some one of buy knocking on their door on one of their religous holidays you may be a jw.. if you think the governing body is goods direct channel you may be a jw.. if you have no clue when this system is going to end you may be a jw.. .

If you are embarrassed by your faith/doctrines/beliefs to the point that you hide it from others [even when doing field service initially]...then you might be a JW
