You know, I was raised as a Methodist until the age of 12, and I learned the same concept - stealing is wrong - without the aid of the Watchtower Society or the threat of the disapproval of a supernatural being.

Not the most gripping plot in Caleb's latest adventure...
by cedars inhttp://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/stealing-is-bad/.
caleb sees some brightly-colored lollies.. caleb's mom tells him they're not buying candy today.. caleb puts down the lollies, sulking.. caleb thinks about stealing just one lolly, but remembers his dad's words at family study, that if he steals he won't be jehovah's friend.. caleb puts back the lolly smiling, and runs along.. .
hardly a gripping plot.

by compound complex indear friends:.
forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.
this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.

Sounds like you need a stiff drink right about now.
I had two JWs come to my door a short time ago but I wouldn't open the door (I'm a single woman living alone and I watch way too much true-crime TV). All the same, I hollered through the door that I was an apostate and that they should run away. My heart was pounding too.

I'm glad I got out before they started in with the glue-bound books and paper covers.
My Revelation-Climax book lasted through all three time we studied it at the book study.

Evil Elderettes, the true Hounds of Hell!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inmy wife was told a brother was going to be disfellowshiped, "how do you know this is going to happen?
" sister so-so said "he was not repentant or humble to the brother's kindness.
" instead of engaging into a heated debate, she knew who the leak was, so-so's husband.

My elder ex-husband never ever told me what was going on in any of the meetings with the other elders. And I never heard one other elder's wife say anything. Some may have known but they never said a word.
Ditto.
In his own inimitably harsh way my elder father had already trained me not to be curious about his desk, book bag, phone calls, etc. If we happened to answer the phone we were not allowed to ask who it was, or if the person told us, we couldn't announce it to the family in general.

Guilty as charged.
Worse, I listened to the drama tapes over and over.
Worst of all, I had recorded talks that I listened to AND the recorded WT and Awake.
