You certainly aren't the only one.
Most people get by because of god. I get by in spite of god.

Am l the only one.?The older l become the more hostile l become towards god.
by atomant inthey say you mellow out with age.maybe so but not in my case.l feel its an insult and degrading to us humans to have to live the way we do if there is a god.deep down l guess l do believe theres a god but lm having great difficulty trying to understand why things are the way they are.l dont need a bible bashing from anyone l just feel frustrated and helpless.l just battle on like everyone else but l get the feeling theres a whole lot more to our existence.

Dan Sydlik
by done4good inmorning warship - he was the only restraint and i'm not saying that lightly.
i know there are a dozen others here who were in bethel back in the early 2000's who know what i'm talking about.
he actually kept me thinking this was jehovah's org because of his sincerity as if the holy spirit was operating in him.

I'm sure that some of the deceased members of the governing body were "nice guys". It wouldn't surprise me if there are still some "nice guys" left.
But to mirror steve2's comment, this is the bottom line: They have misled and continue to mislead millions of people. If there is such a thing called "divine justice", I hope that they are at the receiving end of it. These "nice guys" have literally sat by and watched as countless witnesses lost their lives in war-torn areas of the world...and did NOTHING. Even now, most of the flock is struggling just to get by and keep a smile on their tired faces. What are these "nice guys" doing? NOTHING.
Oh wait...they are doing something. They are asking for MORE.
Nice guys my a**.

It's ALL about the ratings. People will do and say anything on so-called reality shows just to get ratings. Made-up drama, made-up problems. I tease my wife from time to time. She loves "Real Housewives of Atlanta"! -

Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?
by 3rdgen inok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.
objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?
Ouch. That is a tough and eye-opening question. We probably would not have married each other. If we weren't witnesses, there would have been more choices and more chances to meet other people.

Gross! Grooming of young brothers in the KH to do more for Jehobadahhh and his organ-nigh-say-shun! I saw it myself.
by macys inso there is this young brother probably 14 or 15 and the elders are already grooming him to do more for jehobadahhh.
most of the elders in this kh are old like 60+ and sometimes there are not enough brothers to do the mics or sound so you will see a 70 year old elder forced into action.
almost comical to see a brother who thinks instagram is an email service try to operate the sound system and projector as he plays the wrong song or brings the screen down during a prayer.

Has anyone noticed the JW movies are trying to normalise their lifestyle?
by truthseeker inhaving watched the prodigal son returns movie produced by the organization and a recent mini-clip of a brother in london who is shown jogging and doing normal everyday things while wanting to "reach out" it occurred to me that the organization is trying to normalize their bizarre lifestyle and beliefs for the benefit of non-witnesses.. what do i mean by normalization?
they try to make the witnesses look like just another christian denomination who are reasonable while their members live and enjoy normal lives that appear to be within the mainstream.. they do this by not mentioning anything to do with higher education, armageddon or the urgency of the end of the world nor is their discussion or mention of the blood issue.
these are things mentioned often at kingdom halls and in study articles.. watching the prodigal son returns, the family appears to live a normal life, going to meetings and studying.

In regards to the prodigal son movie, I wish I had a family business to fall back on if I hit rock bottom. -
