  Do You Think All JWs Believe Whatever Their Religion Teaches?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that same question applies to catholics, jews, islamists, baptists and so on.

  .

  just because you belong to a religion, does it mean you espouse every idea that they have ever presented?.

  I think most jdubs go along because they really don't know how to live without the structural confines of the bOrg club. It's not important to them to understand--but they need to Belong.

  Hey sorry for the oversized picture, I tried for over half an hour to update the post with a smaller one but the site wouldn't connect for some reason.

  Apog...if the US govt passed a law that everyone must display the US flag on July 4 each year, do you honestly think every kingdumb hall would have one without protest? Seriously? No one is saying it's flag worship, but just the act of deliberately displaying a country's flag to celebrate or honor a specific occasion goes absolutely contrary to everything we were taught while in the clutches of the bOrg.

  I've lurked a long time: JW's produce some of the most paranoid humans

  by Unlearn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll keep this brief for now.. long time lurker (4 years or so).. born-in, elder, used on district level (last talk i gave before i left was the baptisimal talk), and lots of hard time put in...before i finally made the move to split.

  it's a long stoy, much like many of yours...but with it's own little interesting twists.

  more details in the future, perhaps.. as i said, ive lurked here for a while.. its funny: for a long time i'd only come on late at night.

  Debating JW's

  by will brooks in

  1. watchtower

  hi,.

  i'm new in this forum and it seems from a quick recce that jw's give this site a miss?

  is there a site that jw's use - other than their official one which is restricted to active jw's?.

  Hi Will Brooks - truth be told, only mean-spirited jws come here to vent their venom and exercise their name-calling tactics. Many active jws post here in thoughtful discussions, and many who have found the jw religion not to their liking post here as well. You will find freeness of speech on this site and lots of different opinions, but that's what makes JWN a great community.

  Welcome!
