Jehovahs Witnesses; what do you know about them ; are you one of them ?

There  was a  TV DOCUMENTARY PRESENTED BY LEAH REMINI WITH MANY EX JWS INCLUDING ELDERS<  ON SUNDAY 18 NOVEMBER ON UK TV the show aired on the Crime & Investigation channel on Sunday 18th November @ 7pm. Sky 156 Virgin 275 BT TV 328 & Talk Talk 328!

did you happen to  watch it  and  what  did you learn  about the Cult   from it ?

Do you know  about their practices    and  especially their      'disassociation' practice  of anyone who leaves the  cult;  they will even  disown their own flesh and  blood  as  apparently that is  an 'order' from Yahweh in the Bible  

WE  know they  will not  accept   a  blood transfusion and would rather  die that have  blood  given  to them

They    do  not  'recognize'  Christmas  and are  not allowed to 'celebrate'  any  birthdays  

women  have  no say in anything but are  regarded as  second  class  citizens  with a brain  smaller  than men

Do you know anyone who is a  Jehovah's   Witness and  why they decided to  go into the cult ?

Ths  link  https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/nwt/books/ goes to what the JW   use as their 'version' of the Bible and it  is well worth  doing a  comparison between various sections and passages to  try to appreciate  just how 'misled' they have become

They are not allowed to do any Bible study  on their own but MUST do it with others and have to study the section   dedicated to them  by the Watchtower  people who as far as I know have no theological training

Their  version of  Baptism means that they are  baptised in to the jW cult and    are NEVER allowed to leave it

Have you ever  wondered why, when they do their door to door 'ministry'  they take  forever to do it  slowly????  Partly because it is compulsory to do it and they have to do it in pairs and report   back to their  Elders  how many houses they have done ; it  is  how many hours they have been out  that matters so if you take   an hour to get to one house then you have 'done your duty'...which no one really wants to do  but they  MUST do it or  be reprimanded by their Elders !!

There is LOADS  on YOu Tube to help you to learn about them and  what deeptions are  taught

Do please drop into this thread if you have anything about them  you wish to discuss  or are  one and wish to debunk sumunt or    want to leave but do not know what will happen to you when you do

Are you a JW and how have you dealt with the inability to do the door to door evangelization you are ordered to do in lockdown??

If you are in the JW cult and are allowed to access a computer....how are you coping with the pandemic ??
