Who here was a Jehovah's witness and how was your experience as a Jehovah's witness?

I have never been a JW but i dated one. On the subject of religion, she was condescending, arrogant, and hypocritical.

[Alwayreckles93]

Thank you for sharing.

[Staximus]

One of my friends grew up in the Jehovah's witnesses and said it's really stupid. Like parents disown their children if they want to leave the church and stupid shit like that.

[Alwayreckles93]

Wait so it has similarities to the United Pentecostal church rules?

[Alwayreckles93]

One thing I learn an individual can be extremely religion yet still be an ass whole. I've seen it with my two own eyes. I quit church. Now again Today I went Halloween shopping. I've read an article non religious people can be more happier.

@alwayreckles93 All very true.

At the end of the day, I feel its best to just not belong to any church, and to let faith be our own journey

[Alwayreckles93]

@WhiteBoyChill Yes you are absolutely 💯 correct!👍 This morning I was walking in my neighborhood I saw a leak beautiful trees a lot of nice colorful leafs and few old Victorian Houses as I was walking I felt God's presence and It felt very peaceful that I can't explain. I mean I've never felt that peaceful in any church building. You are right I will just let God guide me and not some congregation.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Precisely right. Faith is our own journey and its our duty to let God take the reigns.

[Gwendoline]

I wasn't but I helped convert a few to Catholicism. They are happier as Christians.

[Alwayreckles93]

Ok you know at your young age you should be investigating other churches and religion. I don't understand why on earth so young you prefer to be Catholic. I mean I was mortified when a young lady your age decided to be a nun. What about college and being successful? You know you can serve God and at the same time be successful. And why young nuns and priest give their wealthy money to the lazy Vatican who didn't have to not one day hard to earn that money ? Yet expected this young person so give away their generational years of labor hard work and effort to the Vatican that is horrible. Also the Vatican hides secrets lots and lots of secrets. And the whole statue worth shipping I don't know it sounds creepy. The giantic live size. Of Virgin Mary starring at you down looks creepy to me.

[Gwendoline]

Just the stories of abuse from these survivors of the Jehovah witness cult is heart breaking.

[Alwayreckles93]

Your clown priest what do you have to say about that? Priest abuse minors and nuns. In the Vatican priest made horrible acts with nuns.

[Gwendoline]

Have you seen the explosion of abuse case in the Jehovah cult that's happening right now...

[WhiteBoyChill]

Never was one, and neither do I feel particularly interested in becoming one either

[Agape93]

Friend of mine was

[Alwayreckles93]

Is your friend still a member? I've heard they don't celebrate holidays or birthdays.

[Agape93]

No, he was kicked out and shunned from family. I can ask him though

[Alwayreckles93]

That is sad and horrible. They do follow similar things like the United Pentecostals.

[Agape93]

Another group of nut jobs

[Agape93]

Yeah, he was caught smoking once and flirting with a girl outside the religion. That's it

[Alwayreckles93]

Oh my gosh for nothing.

[Agape93]

Yeap. Still isn't able to see or talk to his family because of their cult doctrine
