  did man go to the moon?.

  just watched an amazing programme that claimed the moon landings were faked.i was supprised at how compeling the evidence against a moon landing was.anyone know more about the subject?.

  if it is true that this didn't happen it raises a whole lot of questions about how trust worthy our governments are.

  i was trying to remember the correct german word for the state of attitude towards others.

  that witnesses often show - i believe it is "schaudenfreud" - happiness felt when observing.

  Defensivness

  hey everyone,.

  i have never been a jehovah's witness, but i've dated someone who is and i have a few clients who are.. my comment and question is this, i've noticed that witnesses who aren't even active get very defensive when asked a question or a comment is made about the religion.. did any of you find yourself before you left getting this way when people asked you about the religion.. restorebeauty.

  Whilst I was a JW the organisation became my family - my brothers, my sisters - and I learnt to defend them just as I would if I had a real family. Often within families it's OK for someone on the inside to say something derogative about a relative, but look out if it is an outsider making the very same remark! Suddenly the ranks close and the downgraded relative is elavated to a position they did not formerly occupy.

  Such family ties run deep, and although I have been away from my former 'brothers and sisters' for some time, I still find myself defending their beliefs - even when I know they are wrong.

  Coupled with this, is the knowledge that at one time I too believed what they hold to be true. I know 'where they are coming from', I understand their position.

  ive been brought up to beleive that he died on a stake.

  It seems to me true, that it matters not much whether cross or stake at this point in time. It does however matter if we are being deliberately misled for sinister reasons. Question the dogmatism Watermelon, search for truth - if truth can indeed be found

  Hi -New Here

  by RandomTask in

  i want to share since i'm new here!

  i was more or less born into the jw religion and raised as one.

  my mom was a pretty strict believer, but she didn't get baptized until i was 9, "surprisingly" my parents got divorced three years later.

  Hi Random

  I too exist here in an anonymous state, largely for the same reasons, but in reverse. My daughter and son-in-law are JWs, and they bring me mags, books, news etc (I haven't been to a meeting for 6 years). They are my only family - I cannot just walk away and desert them. That's how it would feel anyway - it's bad enough living this half life, without going all the way and encountering complete severance. At least this way I can still feed them with bits of information - and live in hope of change.

  Hang on in there
