My mother was. So were my elder GF and GM, but I think the religion plays on that crap. You are better, smarter and able to see clear because you are a JW. I saw it in kids who would treat others in school as inferior and would soon die. The cult is dangerous on so many levels.

What happens to Bethelites?
by rickroll inso if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

Letter Detailing My Latest JW Encounter
by Roger Kirkpatrick into whom it may concern: .
i am writing this letter in the hope of reconnecting with two jehovah’s witness elders whom i met at a literature display in downtown new braunfels, across the street from krause’s.
i explained to them that my daughter is a jehovah’s witness and, therefore, i am somewhat familiar with their beliefs.

As a JW Did You Prefer a “Stricter” Congregation or a More Liberal One?
by minimus inin my experience, there were three types of witnesses.
some were barely witnesses while others were extremely conservative types who followed the letter of the law.
and then you had those in the middle who just went with the flow.. i knew many witnesses who “felt safe” being in a stricter environment.they were actually proud that they belonged to such and such congregation because it was filled with strict bethelites..

The OP is spot on. I was in both types of cult halls. One was so conservative it was silly. I was told to meet with the elders because I shot a possum for not respecting gods creation, and in another it was fine if the teens had a beer party at the beach. I found that in both though that the parents would give a pass to their own kids for not following the cults teaching. Its a joke no a nightmare top to bottom.

The Watchtower stole from me and you too
by rickroll inthink of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.
think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.
they stole so much from us.

Did Jeruselm fall in 587 or 586 BCE?
by Doug Mason ini came across this article written in 2004 by an evangelical.. “when did jerusalem fall?”, rodger young, journal of the evangelical society [jets], 47/1 (march 2004), 21-38.. http://www.rcyoung.org/articles/jerusalem.pdf .
these are the conclusions of the 18-page analysis.
(1) jerusalem fell in the fourth month (tammuz) of 587 bc.

Even if by some huge leap over the grand canyon that the temple was destroyed in 607 which is most certainly was not, the cult has been wrong on all of its predictions. The end did not come in 1914 and WW1 was not what they predicted. They lie, selectively forget and change what they said to cover it all up. There are so many lines of evidence to show that the temple was destroyed in 586-7 and none to show it was 607. The cult uses the same lines of date setting when it comes to all other dates but then switches to some mystic bull crap when it comes to 607. The fact is its a cult, its a dangerous cult and the leaders are a bunch of drunken idiots who show they are not that smart every day.

If anyone ever makes the claim that they don't focus on Money ALL the time...
by HiddenPimo ini saw this mentioned on reddit but no link - i found the article form this weeks bible study..... in the “congregation bible study” part of the meeting this week there was a part that said and i quote: “only jehovah god and his son can receive someone into the heavenly kingdom or the paradise on earth under that kingdom.
we should diligently cultivate friendship with them by using what material riches we have in supporting kingdom interests”.

The JWs will say they don't hate anyone that is why they preach. But they will say they hate all religions that are not JW.

JWs, The WatchTower Society, Child Abuse and Disfellowshipping
by Simon insomething just struck me.. is the wts the only religion that won't kick people out for abusing children, but would kick you out for visiting a website that informs you that the wts won't kick people out for abusing children .... it really shows where their sensibilities lie.
they are more interested in acting as gatekeepers to information, especially information about them, than providing basic levels of protection to the children of their members.. maybe someone with a better turn of phrase can shorten it, it might make a good meme - something short and simple that really makes people think:.
"the wts - tougher on those who read reports of jw child abuse than on jws who conduct child abuse".
