  What Made U Feel Special As A Jehovah's Witness?

  for me, it was the idea of never dying and living forever.

  plus being a bible scholar.

  lol.

  For me it was thinking jw's were the only religion that had 'the troof' & worshipped the true god. I didn't realise at the time that god was 8 - or should I now say 7 - men who were in Brooklyn & the so-called 'troof' was all lies...

  Are witnesses the best behaved people in the world?

  by speargrass55 in

  hi everyone, i was discussing with a family member recently and was encouraged to at least consider the benefits of being raised in the truth.

  for example,i'm not a drunk, don't do drugs, respect others etc.

  the point is i've found lots of nonwitness friends who have similar behavior.. growing up, when a worldly person does something good like help someone i'll hear things like "that's nice of him, for a nonwitness.

  The JW's are no different to those who are not jw. Some take the 'rules' seriously and some don't. So long as they go to meetings, report FS (regardless if they go out or not) & no uber dub sees them breaking the 'rules' & report them to the elders, they will be ok. Those that break the rules tend to stick together or have non-jw friends they hang out with.

  Just last night, I was out with some jw's & one of then made the comment that if a girl dates a non dub guy, he will always expect sex on the first date. Apparently that is the way it ALWAYS works out there. Yeah, someone who has lived all their life in a bubble as a uber dub & knows nothing about how life is in the real world knows how it works out in the 'world'. Give me a break!
