I have researched other religions beliefs, and the JW makes the most sense to me.

Why Finding the One True Religion is Impossible
by Simon injws like to think they have found the one true religion.
but like so many other religious people, it's usually the religion they were born into, the only religion they know because it's the first one they found or, at the most, one of two or three (typically the second one after they left their first / born-in faith).. the trouble is, there simply isn't enough time to explore and investigate each and everyone of the many thousands of belief systems, religions and sects around the world.. think of it this way: which is the best neighbourhood to live in where you would be most happy and most successful?
not just in the city or even the country you are in, but the entire world.. how would you ever know?

Many here will but you shouldn't judge an entire organization off one person. It's great that justice was served here. Jehovah hates injustice.

The Dangers of Reading books
by Giordano inthe great bugaboo ( something that causes fear or distress out of proportion to its importance) of the jw’s is that you are wasting your time reading books..... and beware of what your reading.
after all you have the wt publications to read and study.
in a world of absolutes most of the jw teachings from it’s onset has been trashed by the wt society itself as old truth........ unfit for modern ‘new light’.

Really nothing has changed in all the years I've been going. Same teaching. 1975 was just a error.

Are witnesses even trying anymore?
by megaboy inhavent had an encounter with a witness in a while, almost 10 years, though at this point i could run circles around them in the scriptures, this encounter was very strange.
was eating with my son at a coffee shop, guy comes up using it as an opening.
i'm use to this because people find my son beautiful so i was open to him.

The size of the tract doesn't matter. Just the teaching of the good news. And the invitation to go to the Kingdom Hall.

I love reading as well. Won many awards at Elementary school for it. Still read the news and other books other than the WT these days.

Where We Jews (and Religionists) Have Not Been So Forthcoming
by David_Jay inbecause i feel some people have become confused in thinking that i am promoting religion or thinking that being jewish is some type of special gift that makes me better, i am writing to tell you that i don’t feel this way.
think of this as your christmas gift (or chanukah or festivus or whatever).. despite the fact that i too practice a religion, i also think atheism is a purposeful and noble use of the mind.
too often people with a religion have only bad things to say about atheism and atheists.

Rebel...ok? It's funny to think Jesus couldn't have been the messiah though after reading the Bible.

I feel really, really sorry for those born into the Jehovah's Witness religion
by jambon1 insome facts that make the difference between you and me:.
1 - as a person raised by non jw family, my parents have never loved me based on conditions set out by a group of old men who they don't even know.
how does it feel to know that you are in the unique situation where your parents brought you into the world and said 'i'll show love to you.
