  i wake up thinking: what if my boyfriend and i die a terrifying death during armageddon?

  with no hope of any life afterwards?.

  do any of you ever feel that way?.

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

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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..

  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..

  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.

  Did you REALLY like the music played at meetings? Did people in your cong. seem to like them?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  i couldn't stand it.

  never heard any of it played live, which i imagine would be much better, but still... i find it annoying.

  for people who like that type of music, i guess it was good.

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

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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?.

  What is the most offensive/idiotic piece of WT literature you've read from the past 20 years (approximately)?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think that some of the dumbest were ones that pertained to science- not all of them, but a few, particularly the ones about evolution.

  the most offensive (and also dumbest) were the ones about women, and the ones about rape.

  those were horrible.
