Why do most Ex jW W‘s seem to be liberal?
by JaredScott-1977 ini’m just curious about this dynamic i don’t care personally one way or the other but i do have friends who have chosen to be conservatives and they get totally destroyed on social media pages for their choice.
it’s almost like a lot of ex jw w become as toxic and his judgmental as jehovah’s witnesses themselves what’s up with that?
i also know conservative ex jw’s that can do the same so again i’m not leaning one way or the other i’m just noticing factual observations.

JaredScott - “Why do most Ex JWs seem to be liberal?”
I don’t know for sure if that’s the case, but if it is, it’s probably because the WTS is extremely conservative, and some XJWs have simply had enough of that sort of thing.

What is Your Favorite WT Lie?
by Sea Breeze ini would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.
surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.
my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

TonusOH - “I think one reason they do not align with the political right (at least in the USA) is because the political right is often closely aligned with ‘Christendom’.”
Don’t kid yourself.
If they actually managed to pull off Project 2025, the WTS would absolutely play ball.

Yeah, we’re like the neighbour who can’t help but hear the constantly (and bizarrely) escalating domestic squabble next door, and are like, “what the hairy blue fuck are you guys doing???”

WATCHTOWER IS WATERING DOWN BEDROOM SURVEILLANCE?
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/hwzly3fnpdo?si=0p8zd0_9a-lwtb_9.
the study article 2 from the january 2025 watchtower study edition titled “husbands, honor your wife” represents a marked shift from the earlier, stricter watchtower stance on marital intimacy among jehovah’s witnesses.
this article’s language feels more relaxed, with paragraph 17 and its footnote stating, “the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.
