"Fortunately my parents raised me with no religion as they wanted me to choose for myself as an adult. I know a few Jahovah's witnesses. No issue with them but it's sad seeing the ones with kids miss out on Christmas. The whole refusing their kids blood transfusions thing is a bit of a sore spot though."

"Dangerous ground this, history is filled with religious arguments of one sort or another just look at history. Always someone telling others that their God is better than your God and And will kill you to prove it. Once again it "should" be down to the individuals own personal choice Which path to follow and what they believe. We have our own beliefs as we are sure others have.

"I'm an ex JW. That'll make me very unpopular on here now no doubt. Maybe I should delete my profile now. Say that and most people run a mile. They think it's a cult. I don't agree with kids being made to follow religion when they are too young to comprehend it and make a choice on it. I walked away at 16 sticking two fingers up at it all. You know why? Because when they learned who caused all my bruises all they did was quote the bible at him. Didn't report it, hid it and when social services got involved they did not like it that an outside organisation were used. Quoting the bible didn't stop him. They then disfellowshipped (banned) him for something else and not what he did to me. If you ever watched the panarama programnes about them hiding child abusers trust me it was pretty spot on. " I'm an ex jw too. I'm aware of their fucked-up-ness. They still make me feel sick too. I can't handle seeing their children on the street, knowing what sorts of things they're hiding. To some extent, it's not even hidden either, just people don't know what the community is really like. | |||

I didn't say I respected the consequences of anyone believing what they liked, that I'd support them in it, or that they get to inflict it on people who can't consent. People have freedom of belief. I respect their freedom. I don't respect the beliefs. | |||

Anyway, one afternoon we knocked on a door and a mild mannered student answered. My cousin started her little spiel about the kingdom of god and when she'd finished the guy very politely said he wasn't interested. My cousin said 'That's alright. Neither am I really,' and just walked off! I just stood there laughing and casually eyeing up the student who was stood there in just his pants.

"I'm an ex JW. That'll make me very unpopular on here now no doubt. Maybe I should delete my profile now. Say that and most people run a mile. They think it's a cult. I don't agree with kids being made to follow religion when they are too young to comprehend it and make a choice on it. I walked away at 16 sticking two fingers up at it all. You know why?

Didn't report it, hid it and when social services got involved they did not like it that an outside organisation were used. Quoting the bible didn't stop him.

I can't stand seeing the children either. I'm with you on that. I feel very strongly about kids and religion to a point where I'm sure I'd offend. I just don't think any child should be made to follow religion at all until they are old enough to comprehend it enough to make that choice should they wish to... And it's their choice not anyone else's. Same with religion. And football teams lol! I spent me childhood restricted by them people, couldnt celebrate anything at all, made to sit out of things, couldn't read books or watch TV programmes because of content. And was bullied practically everywhere I went for being one... When I never had a choice in it. No child should ever go through that imo.

"I'm an ex jw well I was brought up in it. Like has been said above I walked away giving the normal 2 finger salute. Only I did it at 13ish. I just point blank refused to go anymore. From that I had endless meetings with the elders with me not buddging an inch. The outcome was I was obviously the black sheep of the family and was rebelling. I was a teenage adolescent nothing more. Again as said above I seen my mates doing all kinds much worse than I'd of dreamed of but that matters not. I was promptly placed into a kids home and there I rotted till almost 17 even though my sister from day 1 wanted to adopt me. They let her when I was virtually out of there control anyway but I digress. I'm now a 51 year old bloke and have done all the reflecting I'm ever likely to and my conclusion is this. No matter what religion or anything else come to that there's good and bad as there are good and bad ppl in the world. I more than most should hate them but no I honestly don't. If they knock on my door I'll chat with them for as long as they like as I rem_mber them damn scripture just as well as they do more in some cases. On the whole I see them as inherently good ppl but sadly extremely misguided. Accusing them of being child m@lesters and the like is just wrong or at least it is unless your accusing them all of it because it's riff in them all. How long has the church be hiding that shit and many of them abusing kids with the same background as me with nobody and alone." Yeah, I know a few deleted children too. People have no idea that the JWs are this extreme. | |||

"Just a quick question for the ex JWS Do you wish the beliefs of the organisation had been challenged more? Instead of people just saying 'oh it's their religion so we better not question it too much'" I wish, my friend, that it was illegal to indoctrinate children. If you're an adult, do what the fuck you like, but don't go messing around with children's heads. You can literally hijack a child's mind. Many of my friends minds were hijacked. Even now, they are trapped in an intangible set of limits, to which they won't attempt to break out of. I wish the religion was investigated and those caught manipulating children should be punished. I got lucky, but my friend's didn't. Honestly, the cult is evil. It extends extreme control over willing families too. | |||

"It's a manipulative cult that uses manipulation and isolation to brainwash people and indoctrinate their children...often hushing things up that should be dealt with by the authorities. I don't know a single brave 'escapee' who hasn't suffered from the JWs cultish ways...and i know several. I honestly respect everyone's right to choose, but, in my opinion, organised religions/cults are self serving businesses. Ill get back on the fence now.

"Used to live near. JW church and on many occasions they would knock on our door fairly early on a Sunday morning. Depending on what I’d been doing the night before was how I would greet them. I used to enjoy winding them up sometimes I used to tell them I am a devil worshiper the look on their faces was a picture. I also liked asking them Who made God and where did he live before he built everything never got a reasonable answer. " They called at mine on Christmas day, two years running!! The first year I was polite, but asked them not to call on Dec 25th again...second year I just tipped a bucket of cold water over them from an upstairs window and told them to piss off...they never called again...result! | |||

Occupant opened the door, said he was having his tea, but invited them in to join him. They feasted well through three courses, good wine and a few drinks, but after 2 hours, the home owner asked, "what did you want to say?" Reply was, "Errm, we've forgotten, we normally have doors slammed in our faces! We haven't been trained for getting past that point!" | |||

" That's very typical of Jehovah's witnesses. | |||

"I rem_mber letting a pair in my house for a chat once due to the rain, we ended up getting stuck with the paradox that is free will with destiny. Haha" I could go on and on with them. Last time they called, I was thinking "Aha! Watch this!"... But you know what, I opened the door to a child and felt physically sick. I can't be nasty to a child, plus, I feel extremely sorry for them. I've been in that situation. What happens then is that I just feel distressed and can't talk. | |||

"You could replace the words Jehova Witness with the name of any other major religion and all the above comments would equally apply" indeed, which is why I added the last sentence. | |||

"I used to work with a pair of jw's. Fundimentally nice lads but fuck me! How fucked up was their outlook? Creationism, god, being nice..... Even to me who was laughing in their faces. One of them (the weakest of the two ((he lost his mind on cocaine)), even bought me a bible. . . . Which I started to read, starting on page one and working my way through. "That's not the way you read the Bible" he said. "You go through and pick bits out that suit your mood". "So", said I. "Of the millions of books written, and trillions of books printed there's only one that has to be read differently from every other book"? "Yes" he said. "And that's the one that you base your religion on"? "Yes" he said. "Dumb ass"." J-Dub logic.. | |||

"there is a really fit lady who canvasses in my local town. what is there attitude to sex . ?? i heard they dont give or take oral as its forbidden ??? " Masterbation is forbidden as is porn and anything else like it. No prostitutes or escorts. No dating sites or sex sites, swinging. No toys, no oral, no anal, even wearing sexy lingerie is forbidden. Kinks of any kind are out along with clothing that would go with them etc. Wear big pants and bras in plain colours you're good. Women aren't allowed to wear trousers for the door to door work or meetings. Strictly heterosexual everything else is unnatural and treated like its the work of Satan and not as God intended. No sex and nothing sexual (kissing and hugs allowed) before marriage or you get shunned (disfellowshipped) though you can only be disfellowshipped if you're baptised. | |||
