[quote:Anonymous Coward 1466713:MV8xODAwOTkyXzMwMDg2OTk3X0UyNEJCMzM4] My family is Jehovah Witness. I was raised as one. JWs are basically not allowed to think for themselves. You are obligated to only associate with them because everyone outside of the kingdom hall are evil people. My family has hearts of gold and that can be contributed to being a JW. But they are so set in their ways, that they cant see past their own watchtowers. If you screw up, they announce it to the WHOLE congregation and no one is allowed to associate with you from that point forward. I have come to see, that you can have a GREAT relationship with god, without a cult, i mean church telling you what to believe and feel. Look inside yourself to find GOD. Church only takes you further away from having a personal relationship with god. At least, if you are a JW. Thats my 2cent. [/quote]
Original Message
I have felt the need to go to a Church for fellowship and I have been talking to Jehovah's Witnesses.
I have heard their side of the story, can anyone give me a reason not to become one?
I have been a free agent all my life, meaning I have a personal relationship with God and have never allowed religion to interfere with that but I feel as though God wants me to find others like me.
What do you think?
