  POLL/SURVEY- Why Did You Leave The Organization of JW's?

  by PublishingCult in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why did you leave the organization of jehovah's witnesses, and/or why are you contemplating leaving the organization of jehovah's witnesses?.

  i've tried to boil it down to the most likely answers based on all the reasons i have heard over the years from xjw's.

  a. because the watchtower bible & tract society does not have the truth.. b. because i had a personality conflict with other members of the organization.. c. because i discovered that the wtbts was not being honest or forthcoming about its history.. d. because serving jehovah was too difficult and i just wanted to be worldly and do wicked things.. e. because the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have proved to be false prophets.. f. because i found just cause to disagree with erroneous jw teachings.. g. because the governing body and/or elders were hypocritical.

  Something I've been wondering about

  by MartynAndrew in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i haven't been to a meeting in years and wonder what is the reason given for pioneering, or whatever else you can do.

  i mean if you are saved by just heart condition, or two hours per month why should a person put in 45 or 90 hours.

  i wish i would have asked a lot more questions, instead of just signing up.

  being a jw, especially if you work, there is no time for anything else really.

  work, field service, meetings.

  wash, rinse, repeat.

  What Doctrines or JW Views Did You Not Find Too Believable?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the thought that a loving creator would violently destroy anyone not belonging to the jehovah's witness religion including billions of babies seemed just not right.. the fact that you could recieve some "acceptable" blood components but could not donate those same lifesaving yourself seemed strange.

  you could recieve a blood fraction but you couldn't give it.. any others you can think of?

  The strangest looking (and acting) nut jobs you have ever seen at the KH!

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are so many after after 52 years in the "borg".. my top two would have to be at my last hall tigard oregon.. one lady slept in her pickup truck with 30 parakeets, sometimes in the kh parking lot.

  people tried to help her with accommodations but she like the truck.

  she really dressed up for the meetings......feather boa's, big hats, looked like may west from the 30's.
