Well, if I won 9 million today, I would quit my job and immediately move back to Kentucky, but that ain't gonna happen, so I guess I am stuck here for a little while longer.

If you won the lottery whilst being a JW.....
by mtsgrad inwhat impact would that have on your life?
an elder told me he would be very repentant and then spend every penny/cent?.
what would you do if you won $9,000,000?.

I would have taken that money, got as far away from the JW's I could, and then started enjoying life and doing the things that I wanted to do, without the pressure of making enough money.

If the word Oriental is so offensive, then how are you to distinguish between those living in the orient (china,japan,korea) and those living in Iraq? Is there a term for people who come from the orient?
Arabs are Asian, some of the baltic states are considered in Asia, heck even Russia is in Asia. The term " Asian" is just too non-specific. -

Is it possible for a child to be exposed to JWism and not be damaged by it?
by Mickey mouse inwhat do you think?
were you raised as a jw and feel you suffered no ill effects?
or do you feel it had a negative impact on your life?.

I now get what you are saying. I too am proud that I no longer fear Armageddon, I too am proud that I was able to form normal relationships with people, but all of these were in spite of the JW influence that never should have been there in the first place.
Oh and just to be fair I have seen numerous people on here blame George Bush for everything wrong in their lives--all the while forgetting it was the Watchtower Society that hindered them from getting a decent education in the first place. -

Thanks, I already know the answer is yes in some circumstances, what I don't like is when someone is downgrading another's experience in the JW org. Beksbks obviously felt like her JW chidhood was damaging to her (only she knows whether it is or isn't).
If I wanted to sing the praises of the JW religion I would go to a Kingdom Hall and not a discussion board for people who have escaped. -

IP-SEC, just because a person does extremely well, does not mean that they were never damaged. Some people are damaged, some are not, some are damaged beyond repair.
I would trade my JW upbringing in a heartbeat. -

Prove That JWs Do Not Act As "True Christians"
by minimus ini have heard witnesses proudly say that are the only true religion following the bible.
they put down anyone else that claim to be christian, stating they are merely "counterfeit christians".
jehovah's witnesses believe they alone can rightfully be called "christian".

Jesus said "let your yes mean yes, and your no mean no". Jehovah's Witnesses have a practice of purposefully witholding information about their beliefs and even misconstruing them under the guise of "Theocratic Warfare Strategy. This is outright deceitful and lying.
