Any Jehovah Witnesses here?

[Pete671]

Hi, I'd like to find out more about this faith, basically I'm looking for a spiritual aligned community, and wondered what they might have to offer, I have known a few JWs, I admire their work ethic and have always found them very agreeable people to converse with,,,

Please feel free to PM,,,

So basically you want a religion that will control your every action? Why don't you just join the westboro baptist church at that point? They're even more spiritually aligned than jehovah witness.

About half my family is JW what do you want to know

[Pete671]

thank you very much, really I guess, do JW people believe bible to be literally true, or is the bible a collection of metaphors for living a good life?, basically I'm looking for peace of mind, are JW people open to discussion or would I be expected to follow the teachings blindly?,,,,

[humanearth]

Thats a loaded question, some question it, some follow it blind, and many are open for discussion.

They are just like the rest. Everyone has a different purpose

[Pete671]

Thank you so much for that, it's really helpful,,, I think I'll give it a go,

Personally, I would never consider joining an organization that works to protect their predators and shame their victims.
I only mention it because they won’t.

Unfortunately this is what attracts some people,

JW's are some of the sickest of the sick. Beware, it takes a special kind of nut to become a JW.

I find the idea of shopping for a religion completely weird.

Bible is not reliable

[Pete671]

indeed not, not factually true anyway, more of a spiritual metaphor type of deal, this is what I am curious about exploring actually,,,

Hmm
Did you search for other religion books
