They're just trying to survive in the topsy turvy world that's been forced upon them. You know, doing normal kid things but having to sneak around. Actually, the cult pressure they are under forces them to act out more than normal kids. I don't blame them.

18 Year Old JW Getting Married To Young JW To Do The Right Thing
by minimus ina friend of mine was telling me yesterday that she goes to school with a girl who is a witness and she has confided to her that she feels the need to marry this guy because simply dating isn't right.
when i explained that they are under pressure because they must not commit fornication, she laughed and said, "oh they do that all right"...it makes me aware of how so many jws are nominally in the religion but do what they want in the end while trying to keep the elders off their back.

Looks like when grandpa has a bit too much to drink at Christmas and embarrasses the grandkids.Just an unco old man having a dance, no bad tendency there. No one would even care except he's a cult leader. He's just mingling with his followers, give them something to oooh and ahhh over on seeing how "humble" and "like us" he is.

AUGUST 2014 OVER!! NOW WHAT??
by NoMoreHustle inwhile sitting through a dreadful meeting today, while staring into space, i wondered what is next for jw's now that the "greatest preaching campaign" in the history of mankind is over.
what is everyone gonna be obsessed with now?
who knows maybe the annual meeting?

Like it has been stated here before, the campaign and every other one is just about keeping them busy. Everyone knows that if you have a bunch of bored children, soon they will start running around and wrecking things. So you give em games and activities to keep them occupied. Busy work. Tract and leaflet campaigns are gb busy work.

The org should stump up for Ashya King's treatment
by Mickey mouse inall the jws on my facebook news feed are defending the family vigorously and rightly so imo.
if the watchtower had any sense they would step up and offer to pay for ashya's treatment.
that would do far more for their profile than their website publicity campaign.

That's actually a good idea. They would convince people with actions more than with a website.

My Story: from JW Elder to Born Again Christian to Agnostic
by passwordprotected ini first posted here on 3rd june 2008. at the time i was an elder, appointed the previous october, i was 36 and i was a born-in.
at the time i'd become disillusioned with the society due to the governing body's letter explaining why the book study in private homes was being abolished.
april 2008 saw me start questioning this decision, privately of course, and this eventually led me to this site, to jwfacts and to many youtube videos, all of which began to errode my faith in the leaders of the organisation.. in july 2008, having discussed my doubts with my wife, i attended the district convention, deciding to give the society one last chance to convince me it was the truth.

Wow I can so relate to all that, especially the peace that comes from not knowing and furthermore not being expected to know. Jw religion gave us a set of answers, but never actually the right questions, which is far more important. Not knowing takes away the pressure to force others to know what you know, and unites you with the vast percentage of humanity who don't know. Not knowing opens up endless opportunities to find out and explore and grow.

So true. Wearing a cross is idolatrous but covering yourself and your car in a religious logo is not.

They want to recruit the Bribri because maybe they have money.
Seriously though, 850 million visits in 2 years- how does that compare to good websites in a comparable period? Also, downloads is no biggie. One jw can make several downloads per week.
