i was just reflecting about this site and it`s influence on me and what i have got out of it and it came to me that whatever subject i bring up , or others bring up , the obvious thing is we engage in discussion .that`s what it`s all about .. however , the feedback we get or the input we give , far outweighs anything we ever achieved going from d2d for the wtb&ts./ wt real estate agency /publishing house .. how many times did you have a meaningful discussion with a person at a door ?, as a jw ?
not many i would think.. the majority of times , they were not home or not opening the door to you , so even if you did meet people they were too busy to talk to you or they just were not interested.. whereas , here on this board you engage with many people from all over the world , and we can discuss a subject as long as we want.until it runs it`s course.. i think anybody who posts here has had far more satisfaction in their interaction with other people on this board than they ever experienced in the d2d work as a jw.. and i hope that people who just lurk here can see the benefits of open discussion in a forum like this without judgement and recriminations that occur in the jw religion for speaking your mind.. smiddy.
The one thing I like about this place, don't come here half ass. Meaning, you better know
what you are talking about. This keep you honest, no more of that BS stuff from the WT. LOL
I know because I have been ask have you been drinking tonight are you on drugs, you
made no sense what so ever. I was a know all JW for many years, it's very humbling.
i figured i would try this out.
i'm currently disfellowshiped but working my way back.
i was wondering if i am the only one?
I tried (out since 1987) but this incident woke me up. I was sitting in the back and the closing
song, young lady next to me moved over to share her song book with me. An elder I knew
form years back ran over and told the sister to move away. This was a KH that most people
didn't know who I was.
I'am black so I have a question for you. Why would you go back to a organization that break up
families??? Keep in mind we as a race have been through this before in the early days.
And welcome..
Both my sons are around your age and they very happy with their mates and they were raised in that
organization. Do you really want someone with the same views as a JW male, belief that women
are second class.
all they did was invite us to a convention on the other side of town in mid-july.
my husband tried to engage them and asked where he could send them some information.
they showed him the address for the convention center across town-yeah, they are going to get it there.
Two guys came to my door the other day with a tract I didn't bother to engage them in
in conversation, what's the point. I should have ask them do you folks keep records on
the householder. Over the years I have spoken to half of your congregation and you people
keep coming back, hell I'am a Apostate.LOL

shunning is unjust because say the problem is with 2 people let's say it's fraud against another person.
now 8 million people are brought into the problem by also shunning the one person that the 8 million must also shun do you see how stupid that is..
There would be no apostates( JW's are nuts) if there were no shunning, no attacks on
the organization from ex members..

prologs: good point but there would be no need for air bags at 200 miles an hr. Can you imagine
the air traffic on a friday heading out of down town L.A or NY...Not safe for man
or birds.

recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".
Communists, well they may be right. Although the beliefs revolved around equality, this
system allowed government to develop a powerful ruling class.

...right from a pro-jw site in response to a post about the relative seriousness of homosexuality.
all you can do is reason from the scriptures, which you appear to have done.
homosexuality is as serious as bestiality, or adultery and fornication.
It chaps my butt how "SOME" religious people use a book to establish their moral code
while picking and choosing which bits of the book to use.
Prejudice in the name of religion is abhorrent, wither it be prejudice on race, on
women's rights or on homosexuality.
It all stem from the same source.
A question for believers,What book has cause the biggest division among mankind in the
last 2000 years???
