what do you call a person who keeps promising to do something for you--but won't get up off their ass and do it?.
what do you call a person who needs money from you all the time and doesn't pay it back?.
what do you call a person who keeps you waiting and waiting and then, they don't show up?.
But he is all love

as kid i remember a break of 15 minutes between the public talk and the wt study.
all the new ones and "weak" ones ran out to smoke.
loved to see the attendant round them up to come back in when the droning began again.
The article that Blondie posted makes me wonder if they will ever go back to not praying before the public talk.
personally the jws to me are not dangerous.
on the other hand, many do think they are in fact a dangerous cult.
why are they dangerous?.

When we push our ego to the side, that is when we can start to learn and accept the truth no matter where it leads. From the surface the JW's look like an innocent group that just wants to serve God but underneath the surface, lies gruesome pain and anguish.

JWs are the gun. The Watchtower pulls the trigger.
Thus the old JW leader saying, 'if the society says to jump, we must ask how high?'
after reading coc and isocf i cried, i was in shock, disillusioned, angry, and afraid... anyone wants to share their experience?.
i would like to see what you think about these questions when compared with your account.. why people from different backgrounds feel similar reactions?

Bump if any newbie would like to add their comments

WT is like a Windows operating system, lol
it's been a while since i've posted anything about myself.
i've been on jwn for a couple of years.
my leaving the organization was not because i lost my faith, but i left because of my faith.
You said: I'll admit it, I do like to think there is an afterlife. It’s a beautiful thought. I like to think my grandfather is there and happy to see I freed his family lineage from the chains that once shackled us for over a hundred years. Maybe it’s just a dream –just a vestige of all that inculcation years ago. But it makes me smile. If there is a loving God, he will bring us all home one day. If there’s not, well, I guess I’ll still join him and countless others in the eternal slumber that awaits us all.
That was beautifully said. Thanks you for sharing
