  If given the choice, I think I would have rather done without furniture than to be sexually or physically abused. Today, if I had to make the choice, I would give up all of my furniture for my freedom from the JW religion.

  Life is not always sunshine and roses for everyone, some people never had anyone to talk to when they were growing up about things that hurt them. While I am happy for what I have, I think people need to talk about their problems...let things out.

  JWs and Honesty

  are jws really all that honest like they like to claim?.

  in my personal experience, i don't think so.

  i believe they are just like anyone else and don't "stand out" in respect to their honesty, as they like to claim.

  Very true:

  From what OUTLAW said, it is obvious that JW's have a VESTED INTEREST IN COVER-UPS. Since the ORGANIZATION IS CLEAN, (per propaganda), they must MAKE IT LOOK CLEAN at ANY COST.

  Great posts everyone. Basically the witness ain't no better than anyone else. After all they follow the example of momma organization their 'spiritual warfare' is nothing but a bunch of lieing to protect their butts.

  And writer, I am so glad you have found happiness.

  Andi, Wonderful post and oh so true!

  Like many witness kids, my parents not only did not let me socialize with 'wordlies' but they also chose my Witness friends...had to be baptized, etc. and every activity was monitored. I could never really be myself because my parents were always watching and judging my every move. I basically lived in a shell with no room to express myself and grow.

  I am finally learning who I am at age 32.

  what has most influence on JW's?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what or who , do you believe has the most influence on how jw's lead their lives?.

  is it the watchtower mags, meetings, circuit overseers , governing body,peers,or something else?.

  i was trying to think about what most influenced me and i think it is the group pressure we recieve in the org that pushes us most to do things.

  Are JWs really all that honest like they like to claim?

  In my personal experience, I don't think so. I believe they are just like anyone else and don't "stand out" in respect to their honesty, as they like to claim. I was raised a JW and I have met some who are habitual liars and others who will lie to get out of a bad situation.

  Recent experience: We've been renting a home in another state to a JW family-they've lived there seven months (the husband is an ELDER, BTW). We expect the rent payment the first of the month. Guess what? No rent check yet, as of today the 19th. Now I understand that people can fall into some bad times, we've experienced those ourselves. They usually have been on time with the payment, (I don't care if we don't get the check on the 1st because they have to mail it, but we like to see it postmarked by the first) sometimes they have been a couple of days late.

  Anyways, my husband called last Thursday to see where the check was and he spoke to the elder who said it was 'in the mail'. On Monday I received a letter from family who lives in the same town as our renters, it was postmarked Saturday the 15th. So where's the rent check? If it was 'in the mail' on Thursday then we should have rec'd it before now.

  Ok so it could be lost in the mail, that's a possibility. But being such "honest and upstanding citizens", why didn't they call US to let us know it would be late. I'm not so irritated that it is late, just that he wasn't honest with us.

  Like I said before, in my life-long experience in being in association with JWs, I believe they are just like anyone else and will lie if they need to.

  Wow, Interesting, I chose Justice Athena

  :The Justice card often appears when there is a need to take a more detached viewpoint of a troublesome situation. Imagine yourself as wise as Athena and look at it. What do you see? What should you do? Are you being fair to yourself and those around you?

  :Alternately, Justice suggests frustration with bureaucracies or organizations, an impatience with snarled red tape. The appearance of this card shows that this is a temporary situation. Worry not--you will be able to defend yourself; reasonable ears will hear and justice will be done
