  I know personally several people who died refusing blood. I would bet the suicide rate is very high also in JW land.

  Yes, I would always get stuck riding in the very back of a minivan with regular pioneers who had return visits that lasted thirty minutes each. At the end of the morning, they would comment about how I didn't make any calls or place any literature. It made me feel like a loser and like I was wasting my time.

  Another thing I hated was gravel driveways. I would ruin a new pair of shoes after only wearing them one time. They got all scraped up. What a waste of my time and resources field service was.

  Dont get me started on the BEWARE OF DOGS signs.

  how hypocritical!!!

  it's all apart of their limited information mind control!

  It has been noted that the Watchtower publications take quotes out of context to boost their viewpoinprominent wouldn't want you to research this yourself and see it with your own eyes would they?

  Jehovah made the deal fail so I could go where they needed me more

  a few weeks back i ran into an elder at a business meeting out of town.

  i had seen him there before when i was a ms. this time i had a chance to tell him that my standing in the congregation had changed and that i was inactive.

  he said that sometimes we need to take some time to reevaluate where we stand in the "truth".

  Yes, he is keeping his distance because he knows you could destroy his faith in this cult he's in.

  Wish we knew what he really thinks now.

  Thanks for sharing. Hope you helped to awaken him.

  Standforpuresorship: The Society teaches that baptism in dedication to Jehovah is the most important decision one will ever make in their life. These little kiddos are not even old enough to be left alone in the house. How can anyone say they are mature and knowledgable enough to make such a serious commitment at such a tender age?

  I was baptised at 17. I now know that was too young. I was indoctrinated by the Watchtower's teachings, was under peer pressure and didn't have an accurate account of the Watchtower Society's highly questionable beginnings.

  Miss my brother, but I just had to send this email to him.

  thanks for getting back to me.. i know you may be simply following bible counsel because it answers questions in ways that are emotionally pleasing and require no verification.

  people in the bible days could not comprehend their relationship to the physical world so they invented their own explanations.

  these explanations tended to be simple, and some were harmful, resulting in religious dogma, which now for example serve as the grounds for you ending our relationship?.

  I agree with you 100%, but I don't think your brother will respond favorably to this message. I was very zealously trying to express these sentiments to my still in daughter and almost alienated her completely. To a hard core JW, these truths you expressed so passionately sound like they came right out of big bad ol Satan's mouth.

  I hope you can resolve this, I really do. Let us know if or how he responds. Everyone is different, you never know.
