I'm very happy for you. I hope you have been making friends outside the org. I'm glad your parents are speaking to you. Show them how happy and interesting someone who leaves the JW's can be. Go make something of yourself. Maybe you will be an inspiration for others. -

I bet she's counting her time while playing, and that's always her line. Heck, her username is witnessing by itself, right? :P
Yep tell her you were an elder but you left because of (the reasons). If you're in hiding be careful tho, esp if your name isn't an alias.

NEW PEW Research data on Jehovah's Witnesses just released
by Balaamsass2 ini was expecting people who "identified" as jws to follow watchtower beliefs more closely than these pollsters report.. .

The question was not just for Jehovah's witnesses but for people of all religions. Jehovah's witnesses who like to say their 'truth is so simple' actually have very complicated beliefs and it's not easy to get at what they believe through a general questionnaire.
Old hippie, I don't know if you're a practicing witness or not but you're definitely not neutral :).

What's interesting to me is the number of witnesses willing to answer the 'ideological spectrum' question but not the 'political views' question. It's very witness if them...obey (pay minute attention to) the letter of the law, not the overall purpose of the law. Maybe they didn't realize having an 'ideological spectrum' viewpoint is NOT staying 'neutral'. I like that they were willing to say it, I would have done it too as a witness...I just think it's funny.
Regarding the 'heaven' question, there was probably some confusion, did the question mean you think you're going to heaven when you die, or that heaven exists?

Trump or Contested Convention?
by Coded Logic infor those of us who are hillary and bernie fans, which is the better outcome - to have donald trump as the republican's nomination whose unpopular with most americans?
or are we better off watching the chaos of a contested convention and the party eventually putting up someone weak like john kasic or jeb bush?

This convention is going to be fun. News making, for once. For journalists it won't be just the same old grind again, they're actually looking forward to it.
As as I said before, barring a muslim extremist domestic terrorist attack, Democrats win. So this 'who is going to the the Republican candidate??' thing probably doesn't matter that much. Trump fans will be livid if the Republican party ignores them tho...it will make them do crazy things.

super heros
by Gratefullyunstuck inafter reading the content of the 1 day assembly on another post, please tell me wt are trying to suggest members cant follow super hero movies/characters etc.
the whole of my ex family wouldnt have a life if this happened!
surely a wake up call for them....... but doubt it
-

How about the utter disrespect we show to Jehovah every time we watch anything about aliens? Um, I can't remember the exact reason but something about disrespect for his creation.
And watching superhero movies is bad because they are basically gods with godlike powers and if you watch them you are glorifying, worshipping!, other gods.
They're just like the Taliban, really. Pick something extreme and run with it, enforce it on others.

Are you sure his ex was a JW? I read that he met her when she was working for his nonprofit organization... Which doesn't seem like a witness job. And now she's married to another celebrity...
