A favorite word JW's were ALL over was: glean. There was one elder who was simply incapable of using any other word to describe learning or understanding certain points.

Overt Use Of Certain Words.
by Englishman indo you get hung up on certain words, so that you tend to use them more than other's do?.
my latest word hang up (other than overt) is rumbustious.
it has such a nice raspberry sound to it and almost describes itself by it's very sound.

What's Your Opinion of the Opposite Sex?
by minimus inare you of the mind that all men and all women are basically the same?
you know---all men just have one thing on their mind or all women are just users?
there's so much stereotyping when it comes to males and females...typical man, typical woman.

I love men. However, I do not see men and women being equal.

If Your Child or Friend Told You They Were Gay, Would You Be Disturbed?
by minimus inas a jehovah's witness, you know that you cannot practice homosexuality.
it's considered a sin.
if your friend or relative revealed that they were gay, you would be obligated to "report" them to the elders.

My viewpoint on homosexuality has changed allot since leaving the JW's. I used to be extrememly hateful and didn't know any gay people. Now, that I've expanded my social circle by leaps and bounds, I am far more accepting and have several gay friends (and yes, I'm a fag hag). After living in Vegas for two years, those drag queens give you some fabulous make-up tips!!! On a personal note, I'm not sure how I'd feel if my child was gay....

You're Going To Get A Whippin' !!!
by Perry infor those who were raised/born in the truth: .
1. were you ever beaten as a child?
and, i mean where the parent really crossed the line, not just spanking.

SpunkyChick
I didn't get spanked. But saw others in the congregations get abused...This one little girl was only 2 years old and her dad took her to the car, pulled her diaper down and beat her. How I hate the Jehovah's Witnesses.

At what age should JW children start going to the KH?
by JH indid it bother you to see new born babies go to the kingdom hall?
only a few days/weeks old, and already at the kingdom hall.
the baby crying throughout the meetings.. at what age would it have been reasonable to bring a child to his first meeting?

shotgun - I agree with you. My 9 year old sister enjoyed the bible school at the local church and got allot more out of it. The JW's are just plain cruel to make children succumb to that awful indoctrination. My mom was councelled by elder's wives telling her not to bring books or crayons for my brother and I growing up. She told them to mind their own business!
