i have been reading about the witnesses for some time - but the information i read is always massively biased against.
it is even hard to tell if this web site is exclusively designed for aggrieved ex-witnesses.
i am at a loss here.
Blimey.
Many thanks for all your comments. Again, I instigated this thread as an absolute newcomer to these ideas. I have never been a Witness, but was curious to find out about why people feel so strongly against them. And again, I mean no disrespect to your views, your former views, or the weight of your experiences.
And as a never-been and never claimed-to-be good, might I also add that Robdar, if you're ever in London, do look me up.
Kind regards,
Ed

Whoa! I didn't say I have studies jw's...I said I had found it difficult to find impartial information.
What I have found it is they are broadly hated by many and have a number of beliefs that appear to me -a layman - as being as man-made as many teachings in Catholicism.
I am also fascinated by the level of feeling against Witnesses.
For example, one might reasonably expect that "jehovas-witness.com" is an offical web site. Clearly - again, as a layman, it is an anti-jw site. This suggests a passion by ex-Witnesses; a religion with an official-sounding domain name set up by those who oppose it!
I really haven't meant to be agent provocateur, or cause offence. Apologies to all who think this is the case.

Well, I feel suitably freaked out. You all seem very angry about this organisation. Sorry if I have taken up your time, I was simply curious. I do have strong beliefs in God but organised religions don't seem able to give me a place to be...
Thanks for your responses!

I didn't mean "why is it of concern to you" as, "isn't it none of your business". Sorry, that didn't read well. I meant, "how have you been affected". I am just curious why this religion raises such passions.

It is even hard to tell if this web site is exclusively designed for aggrieved ex-Witnesses. I am at a loss here. Who would like to describe Jehova's Witnesses in ONE sentence? And it would be interesting if you could say if you are/were a Witness, or why it is of concern to you. All the best!
