A really good book about Watchtower history
by Gary1914 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i recently discovered a great book which i would like to recommend.

it is called a people for his name and it was written by a jehovah's witness named timothy white.

i love this book and it helps one to see the origins of many things taught by the witnessing such as disfellowshipping and the blood doctrine.

How far would (do) you go for your principals?
by SpiceItUp in
1. jw
2. friends
would you stand up and uphold your principals no matter what the cost or outcome?

would you pick and choose your battles deciding which really are the most important (to you) and letting some of your principals get battered in the process?

right now i have 2 scenarios where my principals are at stake.

religious or secular?
by fader in
1. jw
2. friends
i have never been a religious person, despite being raised as a witness and going through the motions.

now that i'm out, i'm not a religious person at all.

i don't believe in god, i think there is some sort of higher power, but i'm just not that concerned with learning anything about it.

an intervention?

you know like friends and families do with members who are addicted to drugs/alcohol etc.

i've always wondered if something like that would work.

The biggest LIE you believed as a JW...
by Waymores Ghost in
1. jw
2. friends
for me it was the belief that all people who refuse to become jws are intrinsically bad.

if someone doesn't accept the "truth", naturally it's because "satan-the-devil" has hardened their hearts.

when you're a dub, you tend to ignore the ramifications of this.
