  How many JWs are genuinely in "good standing"?

  an interesting question arose from my earlier thread:.

  we all know that many jws do stuff that would get them disfellowshipped, but never get caught.

  but how many jws do you think there really are who have never kept any disfellowshipping "offense" secret?

  Interesting question. In my case I held beliefs in evolution for a couple for years before I was difellowshipped. One thing I am not is a hypocrite I just couldnt live the lie any longer, eventually the belief manifested itself in many ways. They turfed me and seperated me from my familly and extended familly on both sides.

  Truth is a very dangerous thing to the witnesses. I would guess that maybe 10% of the dubs are the true ones who would'nt say shit if they had a mouthfull of it. The rest are just a bunch of frightened spies amongst thier own people.

  What constitutes 'proof' on JWN?

  recently there have been a few threads where claims have been made alledging personal negative effects in 'real life' following internet activity on jwn and other ex-jw related sites.

  discussion then ensues, aspects of which may include 3rd parties either disputing the truth or affirming the likelihood of the claim.

  questions are asked.

  IMPORTANT QUESTION REGARDING JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES

  by jw04 in

  12 years ago

  hello.. i would like to know about jehovah's witnesses, what they can cannot do.. i am interested in the truth, although it seems a bit confusing.. i have seen a few of jehovah's witness on facebook, and would like to know, why in the literature it says that it is dis-encouraged to have a profile on social network sites, yet many have profiles, why is it like that?

  also in commenting on photos on the site, i noticed swearing inappropriate words and behavior from comments on some photos.

  is there any knowledge gone to heart to the ones acting this way?

  What literature have you been reading? I have been out of the cult for a long time. Before the internet even existed. I think the more you read and listen to Jehovah's Witnesses you'll get the feeling that they dis encourage a lot of stuff and they don't like the internet. Theres too much information and social networking makes people question things. They just like social networking amongs other cult members.

  A ban will never happen in England or the US or Western Europe. Might have a chance in China or Russia or Cuba. Shunning for example is a form of descrimination based on religion and if it impacts you financially you may have a basis for litigation.

  JW attitudes to women

  i would be very interested to hear from you ladies on this one.

  i know that the society keeps women in subjugation through the headship cr@p but didn't ahve any sense about hoew prehistoric the attitudes are until the other day when we were driving out of the supermarket car park and my wife spotted a woman dressed in tight shorts (it has been very hot here) and she commented 'they say that women who dress like that dserve to be raped'.

  i did a wtf and overreacted 'how can you blame the victim like that - such attitudes give men a lciense to commit rape and make women feel they are to balme if they get raped which in turn means that rape doesn't get reported and it gopes on with impunity.
