  What was something that you loved but were denied as a JW?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  i could go on and on about all the things i loved, but i'll keep it brief and just mention one, rather trivial thing: music.

  i love grunge and punk, and occasionally heavy metal, and can't listen to a lot of it as a witness..

  No Room For George: I totally agree. It's almost funny, in a way, to me, but very depressing.

  What do you think of the pictures (both illustrations and photos) in WT literature?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  i used to really like the drawings as a kid.

  the artists, i think, are usually pretty good, not so much at portraying emotions but in technical ways.

  the photos always seemed silly to me.. so what do all of you think?.

  WTS vs The Smurfs? 2011

  by kzjw in

  2. beliefs

  with the release of the 3d movie the smurfs, will the wt once again bash the little blue people as agents of satan?

  we see the focus on twilight bashing, so is this even a relevant call for the society to make?

  or will they rely on their past attack of papa smurf and the gang?.

  I agree with undercover. Oh, I hope it gets mentioned though. That would be very funny.

  What made you leave "The Truth"?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me it was many things.

  most concerned certain teachings that invloved genders, children, sex, sexuality and sexual orientations, disfellowshipping, apostates, blood, rape, and few other things, as well as the jw's unloving attitude toward so many people..

  Ive never noticed racism, but yes, sexism and extreme homophobia is rampant. And the shunning is horrible.

  I once heard a an elder say in a talk at a convention or assembly, (can't remember) that in the New System of Things (he announced happily and loudly) "THE GAYS WILL BE GONE!" People seemed to enjoy that comment.

  I've noticed people talk a lot about ex-elders seeing things that other JWs don't get to see.

  Being a feminist in the JW religion

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it essentially makes me feel like i am an evil, immoral, selfish imdividual who god hates (even though "evil" is really a religious term, and i am not religious, even though i don't do terrible things, even though i care about others so much that i am remaining a jw mainly for other people).

  i hate not being able to express my feelings, not just about supposed gender roles, but about many aspects of life.

  i think i am fair and accepting about both sexes, and all sexual orientations, and about many other things, such as a person's religion or the lack thereof.. and yet in this religion it is veiwed as a bad thing, a sin, to accept or even tolerate these things without prejudice.

  Hortensia & junebug_11:

  If I could have had the oppertunity to give talks and be treated more equally, I would be much more favorable toward JWs.

  discreetslave: Oh yeah, THAT one...I didn't like that one either.

  I never saw any pictures from 7th-day Adventists before.
