It depends if you have used alcohol as a coping mechanism before or abused its use. In my experience, many JW's are heavy drinkers as it is the only vice overlooked by the religion. Even in bethel, drinking was a big problem.
How many people get disfellowshipped for drunkenness, never heard it happen.....yet it is mentioned in the verses used to excuse disfellowshipping specifically AND most JW's get drunk very regularly.
Once that crutch has been established, stressful events are going to lead to alcohol abuse.More than a glass of wine a night is doing damage to the liver of a woman, not much more for a man. For some reason it is not taken seriously.
A JW relative was talking the other day about how I don't drink and that JW's drink a lot, like it was confusing to him. They assume we leave and hop onto heroine and whiskey and get aids.... In reality they live the hard life, stressful life, guilt filled life.... once we leave, we just live...

What is the main "idea" of the bible?
by KateWild inas jws we were often told what the theme of the bible is, we were taught that it was the promised seed.. i was recently asked the question.... what is the main "idea" of the bible?.
for me the whole purpose of the bible is about control.
it features a god that punishes and rewards.

if yu read it, there is no theme.... it is illogical and wil and goes all ove the place, its morals and message fly's from genocide to allowing people to slap your cheek...
It is a historical example of religious myth in the making. it is what it is, the penned words of priests, shepherds and believers from ancient jewish lands.
Ironic that in 2014 britain or usa , it is seen as meant for them. Bizzare!

Atheists, here is a 'balls' question ---even for all---
by prologos init is very difficult to knock a ball into a hole (like golf), throw it into a receiver's hands (american football) intercept it and knock it over the fence (american cricket).
or to put a sattelite at the right time at the right speed in the right direction in the right place to have it orbit another body, so :.
what ingenious natural & process is it, than can get 9+ zillions bodies to get into the right orbit simultaniously or sequentially and have them remain there for billions of years?

Did You Ever Feel Guilty Because You Deserted The JW Religion?
by minimus inonce i left, i never yearned for anything associated with the religion.
i didn't miss their doctrines, their erroneous thinking.
i never felt guilty because i abandoned the religion i was raised in.. i believe the reason for my not feeling guilty is pretty simple.

They make you doubt your own mind and thinking, they even tell you YOUR heart is treacherous.....(never say that about themselves).....so when you are leaving and you haven't realised that this is all part of the indoctrination, it causes emitions such as concern, doubt and fewr, but the information is readily available to prove you are right in leaving and wrong in staying. Guilt seems the wrong word, I never felt I was doing anything wrong in leaving, quite the opposite... hence my slow decline in answering, doing talks and then preaching..... i felt guilty doing those activities once i knew it was all a lie.
THE RELIEF was immense the night the elders didnt answer ONE of my questions, they went from saying 'this is Jehovah using you to clean his organisation' to within an hour saying 'it is best you dont attend anymore'
I got on my motorbike knowing 25 years was done, ended, I think I always knew it would one day and here it was..... I was smiling as I rode home. The elders by their actions had just proved to me it was all a lie. A con man selling dodgy timeshares to a room full of people.....someone puts their hand up and asks seversl legitimate questions of concern and presents financial data contradicting what he had already said... hecang answers your questions and concerns with evidence because its a lie. so when he says 'shhhh you cant ask those questions!' you know its a lie! Some stay to hear the rest of the salespitch, but when you put your hand uo again and demand answers & he gets his mates to man handle you out the meeting and tells you its best you stay away..... you know they dont have the answers and you have been seperated out to stop others hearing your questions.
This says alot about elders and their own conpliance in the Watchtower game.
But Just as s man leaving such a time share or pyramid sale meeting would leave relieved he had not wasted any more time and got out.... thats how i felt, i find it odd that some feel guilt, that conveys a concern it may all be true. But I understsnd that some leave earlier than I did (fair dues to you) maybe with less proof od it being garbage so doubting themselves.
As for family still in it, I know it is a dangerous, harmfull, mind control group....so I don't feel guilt about showing them they CAN leave and why! By leaving I have seen 7 family members follow me out....it took about 6 years but its fantastic! Some remain in and I dread their stubborness may cost them a lifetime of regret.

Like it is difficult.....preaching to a human being....when did it start, when did it stop? That's your time. Anything more is fudging the statistics.
I have been wondering what they were going to do about this, they are slamming the breaks onto the religious organisation, how can they defend the obvious slow down in growth, hours and religious work that is inevitable?
Change the rules on how it is all measured...

Prologos, no offence but you seem to be enjoying this now.....but you are actually being quite irresponsible and dangerous. False information with unjustified claims not only mislead but muddy the waters of what is actually true. It also dilutes the message of how actually we find out truth today and how it is best to research things. Opinions are not equal and not all worthy of respect.
