It is defiantly there. I remember one elder talking about when the cong. was getting new chairs. That they should not be too comfortable. Now gone Schroder was an asshat. I swear he would go home and whip his own back. You could never do enough. My wife felt like that. It was never good enough. I felt it I just did not really give a crap.

Episode 13 - Fernando is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses - Is Out Now
by dubstepped inepisode 13 - fernando is shunned by jehovah's witnesses, is out now.. one of the hallmarks of growing up as one of jehovah’s witnesses is that feeling that you’re never “good enough”.
it drives a lot of the depression seen in the cult, and is often something that people that leave take with them.
imagine if instead of just feeling less than because maybe you aren’t hitting some goal of hours spent knocking on doors or taking care of responsibilities in the congregation that are expected of you the problem was something as personal and natural as your sexuality.

Did Your Taste In Music Change After You Woke Up?
by pale.emperor inafter i awoken from the cult, i went through the normal process of not knowing who i was and what my tastes where.
looking back this was a wonderful time in my life because i experimented and tried different things and now i like or dislike things because i personally like/dislike them - not because i've been told they're good or bad.. black pudding is an example - it's made of blood and is a popular addition here in britain to fried breakfasts.
i tried it for the first time last year and i can confirm that it is indeed revolting.

I would not eat black pudding or any blood made dish. Not because of any Watchtower bull shit but because its disgusting. I don't eat organs of animals and I gave up red meat 12 years ago. I do some chicken and fish but try to stick to the Morning star plant based burgers and chicken and crumbles as a meat sub. Its just better to stay away from animal fat and meat as much as possible. As far a music nope nothing has changed. I owned 60s and 70s rock then I do now. Music started down hill in the 90s with rap, which is not music but Bull crap. Very few good new music. I like ZZ Ward, Beth Hart, Addel, Passenger, Johnny Flynn and some others but Music hit hits crescendo in the 70s

The glue of disfellowshiping
by Sour Grapes inthe fear or threat of being disfellowshipped is what is keeping thousands of jdubs stuck in the borg.
the borg knows that and constantly reminds the witlesses of this loving provision from their desert god.. this forces thousands of people to live miserable lives.
millions of jdubs live for the promised panda and lion petting zoo while pissing away the only life they will ever have.

John 3:16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son" ...Really ?
by smiddy3 infor four thousand years god never gave two hoots about the world of mankind that is suggested by john 3;16 and how do we know that ?
simply by looking at his dealings with mankind for the first 4000 years of his dealings with humans as shown by the "old testament".
1. god only dealt with a couple or a few individuals early on in the o.t.. 2.god only dealt with one family line whom he chose above anybody else .. 3.this family line the israelites became a nation whom god dealt with exclusively.. 4.to the exclusion of every other peoples on earth ,he favoured who became the israelites and he obviously had a hatred for any other people and was instrumental in trying to get the israelites to commit genocide on many occasions against these people who god had never taken an interest in .. 5.jehovah god on numerous occasions instructed the israelite`s/jews wipe out the amorite`s , the hittites ,the jebusite`s ,etc ,etc, and with the blessing of him not to feel sorry for them kill old man woman and child and do not feel sorry for them.. jehovah god actually gave the israelites /jews sanctions to commit genocide amongst these nations in the "old testament ".

“Christians” go to war and kill each other.
JWs refuse to go to war.
No they don't go to war they just kill their own with stupid blood and other polices. LOL Stupid is as stupid does.

Well Christian is a broad brush. Anyone who believes that Jesus is the ransom sacrifice and died for the sins of mankind would be technically a Christian. There are many different groups that are sects of Christianity. JW are one of these and so Christians. They interpret the teaching of the NT different than most main stream.
