Some people love the state, the government to tell them what is right or wrong. What to wear and what to avoid, etc. A lot of JWs are like that. They find comfort in being told what to do. Like Witnesses, some in very strict congregations would go to a nearby Hall that would act more reasonable and less rigid. People in this country, the USA, will go to a different state and avoid the extremists that try to run their lives.

There used to be a site called Watchtower Observer by Kent Steinhaug or something like that that only had Watchtower quotations and all you had to do is read their own words to see all the contradictions and errors. It was all laid out for you.

UK 6pm cerfew for all man?!
by LoveUniHateExams inhere in the uk, we've had a recent missing persons case which has turned into a potential murder inquiry.. sarah everard (33), disappeared on wed 3 march in london.
human remains were subsequently found in a wood near ashford, kent, and a met police officer has been arrested on suspicion of murder.. horrible events, and the issue of women feeling unsafe on the streets certainly needs discussing.. but surely not what baroness jones suggested: tabling an amendment for a 6pm curfew for all men.
wtf???.

I understand the view that the Witnesses should themselves prove their beliefs as being correct.
Still, I think when you review all of their teachings that change whenever the light gets brighter, it’s a ball buster. They will say it’s ok. Since the light gets brighter and brighter the understanding can change. HOWEVER , IF YOU DISAGREED WITH THE TEACHINGS THAT YOU KNEW WERE WRONG and questioned the correctness of the belief, you were DISFELLOWSHIPPED OR DISASSOCIATED.

Someone is researching Jehovah’s Witnesses. They happen to come on to this site. Do the Witnesses have the Truth??
We say absolutely not! If you were trying to explain why we say that what evidence would you provide?

JW Net and Politics
by snare&racket inthis site was and remains instrumental in assisting people that want to leave the jw's.. there has been political discussion here for some time now, a good couple of years and it makes me feel a little uneasy.
i just opened up the site for the first time in some weeks, of the 10 posts being discussed, 4 were by the same poster, about politics, promoting their right wing beliefs.. this has been the trend for some time now, the same name behind a peppering of posts stirring the right v left of politics.. i remain forever grateful to the site and it's founders simon & angharad, i appreciate that simon shares some of these these political beliefs.
it would be a shame to see the site evolve from a place for jw freedom of thought and escape, to political squabbling, that the world is frankly tired of right now.. just to clarify, politics is my hobby, whilst my friends read the football scores, i'm reading polling data.

Covid is probably always going to be around but it appears that it is not necessarily a promise of death like it was when it first came out. It’s diminishing.

The bottom line is that some health experts are pushing mask wearing even after vaccination and social distancing. Some politicians want you to be safe and wear a mask or two for as long as possible. Some are saying ENOUGH!
