5 years old - you are told celebrations and gifts on those days are from satan.

therefore, in school, your an weird outcast.

WHAT? But the new system is filled with ponies flying over rainbows while pooping out bunnies...
No, but seriously, a new earth is NOTHING like how any of us can imagine. Our minds are limited. But the way EVERY organization is being run today, it proves true Jeremiah 10:23:
I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
The problem with organizations, is they don't see the root of the failed policies/prophecies are THEMSELVES. It's worse for religious organizations because they continue to believe God is backing them, and the people follow. But Adam and Eve had no books/guidelines. They were given 1 command, and left alone.
Think about it, they were simply told to procreate to the point of filling the earth.

for those who are atheists: did you become an atheist while being a jw, then left, or did you not view them as the true religion and left, but still believed in god/bible, but later turned to atheism?.

CuriousUK - There are a ridiculous amounts of man-made rules, but there are MORE unwritten rules. It gives people a guide to judge you with...
1) No facial hair for men, mustaches acceptable
2) No dress slacks for sisters
3) Only earrings for sisters, no other piercings
4) Read and underline every WT before every WT study
5) Put the organization first (not actual worship of Jehovah, but anything that will contribute to the organization and their name/motives)
....it's endless...

I remember Anthony Morris III from GB telling us new-boy bethelites if we don't want to lead a woman on, don't text her more than 2wice a day, otherwise, it's considered dating. And it will be held against us if we are accused of such. He said it in a non-threatening tone, but he was very serious.
Some elders will not take it so seriously, but company men will. So most people simply keeps it private.
If you read any article on Pharisees, anyone here can attest you will see the striking similarites between them and the elders/GB. (Because of the constant rule-making and nitpicking.)

If the elder is a hard-line, yes. No joke.
