i lived 38 (baptized) years in that mindset: right/wrong, prove this/disprove that, old light/new light.. several times over the last 25 years i really thought i'd broken free...now i was a new man, brave, open, speak my mind and help change the world.

Now, simply, I learn each day, I share each day, I go to bed each day with peace in my heart...knowing that I've lived this one day as best I could...no explanations required to God or anybody else.

This should apply to everyone, not just ex-jw's.

We all have preconcieved ideas that can get in our way and we should constantly re-evaluate ourselves to see if we need to change something.

What exactly ARE the JWs known for?

by detective in

jw
friends

i was reading a thread in which jh said:.

people knew we were jw's just by the way we dressed, but also by the way we talked.. .

now, not to come down on jh by any means, but this raised a question in my mind.

searcher

Everyone I know is non-witness.

Their reactions range from my Dad's " Its the god botherers again, I'll get rid of them"

To my wife's " I am not talking to them, they let their children die"

Not much of a reputation I think.

p31 at the back has another go at the internet.

it also takes a swipe at other sources of info - other than them, of course!.

Those of us who want accurate information have to establish that our source is reliable.

SO FUNNY !!!!

ROFLMAO

Attacks on Kingdom Hall

in today's paper: "church worries about rash of vandalism.".

while i certainly don't agree with jw doctrine, neither do i condone such activity.

The ones in the Kingdom Hall didn't create the Blood Doctrine or anything else.

No they did'nt did they ? All they do is spread the watchtower lies, talk people into joining the cult and put thier families at risk, generally treat each other like dirt, call everyone else in the world evil, refuse to believe the evidence of child molestation, help to cover up whatever the others do, shun ones who ask questions, refuse to support the governments who allow the freedom of religion, refuse to acknowledge those who died to gain that freedom and beg for grants from the governments they hate.

Did I forget something ?

They are so innocent !
