The biggest turn off about pretty much every religion I know is the constant catastrophic view of everything. According to most religions, the world is never worth saving, people are bad and deserve to die, and even those living obediently are living out of mercy not because they deserve it, "god's" vengeance is always about destroying, killing or humiliating something or someone, and the hideous list of negativity goes on.
Disgusting.

"Just have faith in Jehovah..."
by evilApostate ini recently spoke to an old friend of mine who is still under the clutches of the watchtower.
a while back, i had told him about all the child sex abuse coverups, false prophecies, false doctrines etc.
he was really shocked and surprised.

Like, is he braindead?
They are not braindead, they are brainwashed.
Now you can see how the WT is a negative influence in people. If you have another opportunity to talking to him, try a different tactic. A brainwashed, severely indoctrinated person may not react unless you address their feelings. Try inquiring about what really keeps him a JW, instead of trying to reason with him. You may get a different reaction if you look into what is that the WT brings to his life that gives him comfort.

Nic's Alternative Xmas Message.
by nicolaou ini've done a few of these over the years but this time it's very simple.. beware jc, the bearded man who promises salvation and raises the hopes of many.
read his words of division if you're ever tempted to join his followers, or just ignore him and enjoy your life.
happy holidays everyone!

hard to answer this questions for any Puerto Rican. Gossip (bochinche) is the number one activity in my culture. I guess that being an island there's nowhere else to go so people turn to each other.
That aside, I think gossip is the real way congregations are run. A lot of people are in denial about how effective a gossip related system helps maintaining control of the people in it. It's the perfect manipulation from the WT since they keep their people at bay by letting it happen and their hands are clean.
Do you notice how they have so strong hold of every single other aspect of people's behavior, education, life decisions, etc, but when it comes to gossip they address it only when it doesn't lead the way they want it to go? They do not attack gossiping in congregations as strongly as any other behavior, and that's because there's something valuable in it for their interest.
So to answer the question, gossip, especially the malicious, slanderous type is very common in every congregation, as it is part of the JW culture.
