Just wondering how much good that does when ex-JWs hold up signs at conventions. Do you know of anybody that saw something on a sign and did research and subsequently left the organization?

When you were an active JW what did you really think about Orthodox Christians?
by SAHARA ini know that many of you here on this forum are atheists or agnostics and so maybe your opinion hasn't changed.
even if that is the case, i would still like to know from all of you, how did you look at or think about other professed christians who are not jw's?
did you consider them to be inferior?

I just simply thought ALL other religions were headed to the slaughterhouse. The common JW belief.

I didn't know what a JW was, until I fell for one
by headoverheels inwhen i fell for him i was completely unaware of his upbringing as a jw and only became aware once he decided to leave a few months back.
being raised without much of a religious basis, besides the typical western christian exposure, i have researched, read, attended groups, read in this forum, to try to better understand him, and jws, but i am feeling at a loss here.
he just recently left the jws and now i am experiencing this struggle with him; i am wondering how much of our problems can be contributed to this transition.

I'm afraid you folks who are starting new ex-FB groups...
by AwSnap inare forcing the jw's to quit using facebook.
i absolutely understand why you are doing it....but personally, groups that blatently criticize the jw's have caused the ones closest to me to quit using fb.
that was one of my last outlets to associate with them, and then they quit fb altogether.

We had a bethel speaker at a circuit assembly probably over 5 years ago make the statement:
"MySpace is not a place for Christians!"

Let me mention that you definitely can't blame this behavior ONLY on the process of leaving this cult. Sure, leaving a cult is very difficult. Lots of emotions come out, and everybody reacts differently. Anger, guilt, depression, sadness, happiness, insomnia - all of these are common.
However, as for myself and many others that I know that have left, we never treated our wives/girlfriends in this way. It's one thing to be stressed/confused/etc, but that's pretty agressive when you say things like that.
Just my opinion. I wish you the best.
