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

  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?.

  Band on the Run:

  "He most have very tacky sense...tacky in the old sense"

  I see your point. I hadn't really thought of that as a reason for not believing that JWs are the true religion, but it's a good reason, when I think about it.

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

  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..

  VampireDCLXV: I am not a "twilight" kind of girl, but I always liked Dracula, and wanted to watch it, and, of course, couldn't. I guess that, along with about 300 other little things, I was not allowed to watch, read, listen to, think about, feel, do...*sigh*

  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..

  There certainly is a lot of hypocrisy. It's amazing that so many people manage to ignore it. It's amazing that I did for so long. "Sisters" like me don't go very high up. We don't get to be elders and have other positions like that that show us some of this hypocrisy, so I guess that's one way of keeping a lot of people in the religion.

  clarity: EXACTLY! They gather in their little groups and laugh and giggle and make fun and play mean little games with other people's mind's, hurting others, leaving them out, occasionaly "throwing them a bone" when they were being "generous".
