It's easier to work out who aren't God people. Does the religion baptise children with no chance of them exploring other religions without sanctions. Do ones who get expelled for believing something different get reinstated when head office changes belief to what one expelled believed.

JW women true value
by Chook inwhen they sent out internal letter to elders regarding the binding of elders book , worldly men could do the job but only under supervision of a elder.
but under no circumstance could a sister touch the book.
the idiots put it in print, any elders wives on this forum should take it up with their man.

Ladies do you really feel that God and the org held you in the same value as men. Women seemed to get little attention in the Old Testament and in the org similar outcome.

I go to toilet more during the night. Also I realise that no person ever really knows another person until they have to live with them.

We are just damaged sheep, we all have been half slaughtered emotionally from the cult. If I think I can speak for most even though I haven't been here long , is that people as a rule do what they want. It's just some people take longer to break free from different control factors. All victims of a war zone have some emotional damage .Ours was a religious war ( we all remember the pictures in the old revelation book ). In conclusion we are all united in our unique religious torment from a slick book publishing company turned realestate mogel.

What is the purpose of life?
by slimboyfat inwhile reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

With a billion bucks they could buy a decent remote island invite the whole brotherhood there, with free labour they could build housing and every other comfort that communities need, buy uniforms with badges for the elders, introduce there Judical system and save the world of heart ache and of being woken Saturday mornings .DFing can be a public execution, similar to ISIS , there's plenty of bible zealot execution examples for this loving brotherhood.

When you were fully in, would you lie about how loving your congregation was?
by TTWSYF innot long ago my elder brother got very sick.
he was hospitalized for a few weeks and his jw wife and children were at his side often.
also, his non jw family was also bedside with him, siblings and parents.. his recollection involves asking us "don't you remember all the jws that came visiting me when i was sick?".

The whole problem with the " is the cong loving" is , that their version of love never extends to the general population. If you only have friends in one social group , of course that is the only place you may experience love. Real love exists outside of the org. The good man was right when he said more happiness in giving.

RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(
by Frezia inless than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

In Australia they had this absolute crazy xjw who had never been linched(DF). This man had been in loonie hospitals ,I knew his sons. This happened in the 80s first thing he did was he rang Rolls Royce in Britain and impersonated as a leader at bethel and ordered a brand new roller for our dearest brothers, the craziest thing about the story is that Rolls Royce actually sent one to Sydney. Second mad thing this guy did was he ran for local election with a placard that read local representative of Jehovah's Witness.
