  My trouble

  by bushido8000 in

  i have been facing a small dilemma for some years now.

  i have been in the truth since i was 5 years old.

  after experiencing some troubles with man-made rules (non-scriptural, told me that i absolutely could not join my small school's football team) in the kingdom hall when i was about 16, i stopped going to take a step back and look at what was going on.

  Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses send their mentally ill door to door?

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has been a question i have asked over and over even when i was a very devout jw.

  please do not get me wrong in thinking that i am trying to be mean or cruel or unkind to those who have mental illness, that is not in the least where i am going with this.

  what i mean is i think it is cruel to send them door to door, it puts way to much stress on them and it looks bad for the name jehovah.. it seemed that in every hall i have ever been in there were some people who were extremely mentally ill. there have always been some in every hall who were schizophrenics or suffered major depression, or other forms of mental illness.

  Religion/Mental Illness/Schizoprenia

  by ranmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a very close friend whos history of traumatic experiences and drug use has culminated into very severe mental and physical detioratation.

  i dont want to get into personal information but one major symptom is that he has become religiously deluded about himself.

  to be blunt, he believes he is a special prophet chosen by jehovah.

  On A Scale Of 1 to 10 How Much Knowledge Does A Jehovah's Witness Have About Their Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years (many decades) ago, most jws knew what their religion taught.

  they could go toe to toe with a minister or priest and make some good points.. i believe today's witness knows little about most of the convoluted teachings and revisions of the "truth".

  yesteryear's witnesses got a 9/10.

  Being A Jehovah's Witness is Simply A Waste Of Time!!!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hope that if any witness sees this thread, they understand that being a witness = being a time waster.. please understand this.

  if you don't believe me, i'm sure others here will agree.. if you can salvage any of your time that is left, do it!

  get out of this false religion.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was recently born again and thus am anointed because of this i have come to realize that though there are sincere people who are jw, some teachings are fine but the wt organization is a fraud.

  here is my story sorry if it's a bit long but i need to tell it.. 16 years ago today i was baptized as one of jw's.

  i was 17 years old the only one in my family.

  The imperfections of the elder

  by outsmartthesystem in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  outsmart - you keep mentioning the imperfections of the elders....and how people need to overlook them because we are all imperfect and we need to learn what true humility is.....etc etc.

  dj - if this is what you believe to be true, then you are mistaken, because even though jehovah's witnesses are directed by holy spirit, we have at times 'gotten it wrong.

  dj - i can agree that jehovah's witnesses are god's mouthpiece today, that we do speak for god.
