  Amway, Quixtar, etc. vs. WTS

  by Larry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  amway, quixtar, and other mult-level marketing schemes vs. wts.. if there is anything an ex-jw cult member would recognize, it would be another cult!

  i say that b/c my uncle is an 'hardcore' quixstar member (ibo) and the more i talk to him the more similarities i see btw quixtar and the borg.

  of course he doesn't see quixtar being cult-like but to some one on the outside looking in the organizations mirror each other.

  WOULD YOU BE AN ACTIVE WITNESS IF????

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  would you be an active witness or even an inactive one if you could change a few things?

  for example: let's say the blood issue could be resolved, would you stay?

  or if 1914 doctrine was dissolved or the disfellowshipping/ shunning view changed?

  What do you think of Seeker (good or bad)?

  by Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading farkel's thoughts about being called names, and remembering my own discouragement about the same thing, and thinking about all the posts recently decrying the fighting and bad language, i'm curious to know how my "seeker" persona is perceived here.

  i know i have fought with some, made friends with others, so how i am perceived will be varied.

  i want to know it all, the good, the bad, the ugly.

  Amount of Time Not Speaking to You

  by Larry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  question to all ex-jw's whose family refuse to have contact with them - how long has it been since the last time your relative(s) spoke to you or had any meaningful communication w/ you?

  it's been over a year since my mother, sisters, cousins and aunts had any real communication with me.

  i've read a post last week and i think someone said it's been over 20 years since one of their relatives spoke to them!
