  Your Opinion of Jehovah's Witnesses and Their Religion?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought this fellow, not sure if he is pimo or pomo, who goes by the name anonymous, gives a fair opinion summary.. "i was a jw for many years, but generally not a particularly stellar example of one.

  your question has two components, and i will address them separately:.

  opinion of jws as a people:.

  Meetings were bad back then.

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  meetings have always been bad.. if paul had to "command" people to not forsake the gatherings, the meetings must have been really bad.. considering that jesus said in matt 18:20 "for where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there i am in their midst.”".

  and then in matt 11:28-30: "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

  take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-temperedi and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few old timers on here often refer to the dumbing down of the jw organisation.

  what examples can you think of from over the years?

  (i ask as an interested outsider who was never in).

  Beth Sarim- I have lost too much brain cells from Watchtower. I can't watch or read any Watchtower stuff without bad effects. Including laughter.

  They still call it Pizza but it doesn’t taste like it anymore.

  by Fisherman in

  1. social
  2. current

  i remember as a kid that a slice of pizza was a dime, the same price for a large bag of m&ms or a large hershey’s bar or an ice cream popsicle, box of cracker jacks, bag of potato chips, bus fare.

  the dimes were made out of silver and many of them were mercury dimes with the dates worn off.

  …and while nowadays except for the pizza, everything tastes about the same only now costing 10 times as much, bus fare costs 28x as much and pizza costs 40x as much:.

  Never mind about really serving God. The bottom line, money. Money is Watchtower 's great motivator. That's all they care about.

  i know i was suicidal before i was disfellowshipped.

  and it got worse after i left.

  one night a friend told me that he went home the night before and wasn't sure if he would ever hear from me again.

  The Whole Jw thing is toxic. When you leave or get kicked out, you need to detox right away. Talk to a good worldly friend or someone in mental health. This group is very dangerous.

  Punkofnice- Sorry for your lost. I had to experience the Jw sales pitch for my father's funeral. At the time I was with my " Worldly" relatives and friends and found them more loving then the Jw's.
