  Would some of us be better off as Witnesses?

  by Jerry Bergman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have often wondered if many people would be better off if they stayed witnesses.

  some people i have known have really gone off the deep end after they left the watchtower.

  most all of my family have left now (not due to me as i was cut off from them for years) and many others i know who have left are now bitter atheists or have become pagans and worship stones or new ageers playing with crystals.

  shamelessly pilfered from another site enjoy!the forums have in many ways become plagued by terrible argument.

  people who (i am sure) are perfectly normal irl, seem to lose their way in any from of online debate.

  i have been watching this and have compiled a list of common mistakes.

  Have you joined another religion?

  i don't think i will never join another organized religion.

  that being said however, i have enjoyed going on occasion to non-denominational churches, watching the band play music, and the speaker.

  if you did or would attend another church regularly, which one would you go to and why?

  Governing Body looking for work

  by Iwasyoungonce in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the governing body of jehovah witnesses suddenly found themselves out of the power seat that they currently refuse to vacate what do you think might be a fitting job for them to fill?.

  i vote for the gb to start making fortune cookie predictions.

  finally they could put some of that self appointed spiritual powers to some worth while means.

  Was Public Reproof Traumatic for You?

  by zenpunk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reproved at the age of 17 and, believe me it was a nightmare at home.

  first, my parents felt such shame over me - i was such an evil disappointment to them.

  i would hear my mother talk on the phone to other sisters about how sad she was about the way i had turned out.

  my story

  2. experiences

  .

  well i tried to do this yest and i lost all of it, :( lot of typing lost, but oh well, i would welcome feedback from anyone who has been through similar things to me, i got the truth 13 yrs ago, and i never felt like i was wanted not really, i was with a man and had 3 kids with him when i came into contact with the witnesses, but he was a pedophile so i found out and had been doing things to our kids since they were born, i ditched him, he walked from 2 high court trials, and no one in my cong cared abt me, they didnt want to know.

  said it was in my head, anyway, i struggled for years i hated going to conventions and being ignored by my own cong, it was just me and my daughter on our own all the time trying to serve jehovah, i didnt feel happy but i just wanted to please my god and i just tried my best, i always felt left out and i was never asked to do demos at the hall, its like they were just putting up with me, i was always pulled in for stupid things like the messages i put on my answerphone cuz some stupid stuck up old sister didnt like it.

  I'm not ready to exhale

  by teejay in

  let's face it.... the only reason the d.c. sniper was caught was because his pride--arrogance, really--got out of hand.

  he bragged about another cold-blooded killing that he had made a month ago.

  what his stupid ass didn't realize is that he gave a break to competent officials who were looking for any opening.
