  please spare a moment to consider the difiiculties faced by gay jehovahs witnesses.

  i was raised and baptised as a very serious jw.

  every waking moment of my day was lived for jehovahs and his organization and for nothing else.

  Never forget that your mum does love you but there's this big cult holding a gun to her head saying its gonna kill everyone if she doesnt follow orders.

  That and they dont want to lose their get out of death card. Just about everyone on this site suffers from shunning to some degree.

  my husband and i (both born in jws with extended family all "in" except for one of my sisters who left when we did) left the church 5 years ago.

  we did not fade, we just didn't believe it anymore, told our families so and left.

  obviously, big drama in our family after this, messy feelings, etc.

  2014 MEMORIAL ATTENDANCES FOR REST OF THE WORLD

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the october kingdom ministry for the united states reported the 2014 memorial attendances for the us branch office that has subsequently been well discussed in a separate thread.

  in that thread, a poster asserted that in some parts of europe the attendance had been higher than last year - but to date no source evidence has been provided.. so, have memorial attendances for other parts of the world been reported in any of the publications such as kingdom ministryyet?.

  if so, could you direct me to the source(s).

  They lie about everything else who's to say any of these numbers are real.

  Just looked up the Australian census for people who identify as JWs and it was down 2.8 percent in the 5 years from 1996-2001

  Scientologists are always on about their increasing numbers but the census says otherwise as well

  I dont believe you insult anyone Cofty. Religious people feel any attack on their beliefs is a personal assault on their intelligence.

  If you believe in talking snakes and worldwide floods you deserve to be mocked.Too many christians not enough lions.

  Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.

  however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.

  in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

  Forgot to add she came crying to my mum and dad to confess she'd lost their money and said they could have her 10 carat diamond ring as collateral till she paid them back. Mum took it to a jeweller to have it valued and they said it wasnt a diamond and was worthless.
