I'm curious about JW services;
is there an antidote?

However, they do have an online feature to submit questions(!) How about that???

Bang.

I can't help with the other stuff, but the shooting part (metaphorically), I can :)

Are you really that curious about the as-weird-as-mormons-maybe-more-so JWs?

Take mormons, add a bunch more crazy and control, and you have Jehovah Witnesses.

Their services are very controlled. All talks are printed by their leadership. No dissent or questioning is allowed. They are proud that they excommunicate on a whim.

They go through your house with a trash bag and throw away stuff not fitting.

They tell you where to work and shop.

They tell you who you can associate with.

You want crazy and control... join the Jehovah Witnesses today!

What about sex? Do you get to have lots of sex, or look forward to having lots of sex?

Jay dubs are as fucked up as mormons. Just look at my extended family.

Before you shoot yourself it would be good if you send me the info I need about you to have your information submitted for temple work. I suppose I could try to show some empathy for why you might want to shoot yourself. However my #1 priority is supposed to be obedience so all other things like Empathy have to be put on the back burner.

Yeah, but do they-

Exclude family members from weddings?

Sell / Require wearing their own brand of underwear?

Require children to tell about their sexuality in private interviews?

Do they tattle & snitch on each other for minor/trivial matters?

Everything but the underwear...

but they require you to purchase books/pamphlets to give away.

Also.. tons more.

They require time... and lots of it. Church several times a week, and mandatory proselytizing for all members.

Trust me... it's worse.
