Can you list the positive points of being a JW as against the negative points of being a JW in your experience ?
by smiddy3 ini was a twenty y/old when i converted to the jw religion and was a problem drinker and i was a chain smoker .when i was baptized at a circuit assembly a year later , my conversion and change in lifestyle was given as an example of the effectiveness of incidental witnessing to the audience.. so i can point to the 2 positives becoming a jw .. 1.i gave up smoking.
2.i gave up drinking for a while ,but because i still had association with my wife`s and my family who were not jw`s ,i learnt to control my social drinking when i started again.. and i have been a responsible drinker ever since ,even though i left the religion 29 years ago.. the negative points of being a jw in my 32 years of being one ?
are far too great to list here .. love to hear your thoughts..

What are Jehovah's Witnesses' stance on home ownership?
by timothytha inwhat do people usually think of when they buy a house?
"i will probably live here for a long time" (you're invested with your time), "i will save money by building equity over time".
(you've invested in yourself financially for the long run) of course, i wouldn't be able to list the numerous reasons why people want to buy a house.

Watchtower sure wants you to donate your property to them when you die.

In my youth years, my mother wanted me to pioneer, so I did. I came into the hall while the conductor was having the service meeting. I was rudely told to shut up and sit down. I just walked in with out making a sound. I cut my day short that day and didn't continue any activity after that.

I have suits only for business or wedding or other events. But no more meetings. Feels good to be free.

As debris was falling from the sky me and another person went to the Jw HQ for shelter. They would not even open the door. Not even for their own. This was the start of collection of red flags for me. My business partner who was with me was shocked by how Jw HQ treated their own members. We found the help we need in a near by hotel. To this day when I travel to New York. This business gets my business.

What did it for me was at a Sunday meeting the speaker was going on and on about how generous Jw's are, Yeah,right!?! He gave the example that when the plane crashed into the World Trade Center that the Watchtower HQ opened their lobby and provided assistance. I call Bullshit! They locked all their doors and hide under the bed. They where no where to be found. I was there all building where opened except them.

Jwism just does not pass the smell test. Any person with " Critical Thinking " skills would tear Jwism apart. This is why they hate higher education. Once you develop the ability to think and ask questions this crumbles their foundation and the whole house comes crashing down. They want stupid people who can't think for themselves. It happened to me. I was at a Con-vention and the speak said something that made me just call out "Bullshita!" That did it for me.

I view the Watchtower as a investment firm who offers billions if invest you're life savings to them to invest. But when it comes time for the dividends to be cashed. The check is worthless.
