  Do born-agains dominate EX-JW's?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do a quick look on the web and you will find most ex-jw or anti-jw sites are made by so called born again christians.

  i remember from being a witness that the general view of apostaes was that they had become born again christians.this was probably because so many actually do.

  is this having a negative effect or reducing the chances of witness reading information that may help them?

  Cerise Rose you read too much into too little.
  
  I could have asked "are most ex-JW's born again christians?"
  Instead I asked "Do born-agains dominate EX-JW's?"
  To Dominate means to have a "the most influential or conspicuous person or thing"
  I could have said "I remember from being a witness that the general view of apostaes was that they had become born again christians.This was probably because MOST actually do."
  In fact I said "I remember from being a witness that the general view of apostaes was that they had become born again christians.This was probably because SO MANY actually do."
  
  My post consisted of a few sentances , don't draw too many conclustions from that little bit of information.

  If christian groups are the vocal majority, then it gives the impression of being the actual majority to on lookers.
  Really I'm thinking of the impression given to a person if he was to look things up on the web or buy a book, you could easily conclude that a large number of ex-JW's become born again christians.

  Born again is comon name used by most people.It just what pentecostal group are generaly called.
  My dictionary defines pentecostal as ; any of the Churchs of a 20 centuary religious movment emphasizing the gifts of the spirit as at pentecost.

  Since in my opinion Born agains have got it just badly wrong as JW's I can see no benifit in help Jehovahs witness from jumping from one religion to the other.
  As a witness with "doubts" I would have been less inclined to read something from another christian group than say a atheist group.
  If the information that can be of benifit to JW's largl;y comes from other christian sources is this fact stopping JW's reading things that they may have read if it was from say, a more non-religious source?

  how much do you think movies, effect people knowledge of history or even world events today?

  there was a programme on channel4 a fews weeks back basically revealing conspiracy theroies about jfk assasination to be a load of nonsense.oliver stone defended his film (which this programe had torn apart) by saying well people know its just a film and dont believe everything in movies.

  but his missed a vital point , what if the film is all a person knows of that event.

  What if the only exposure people have to certain historical events is through films, how will they seperate fact from fiction?
  And in fact do some people then base their world view, without even realising it, on what they see in the movies?
