Ok, so a friend of mine is a JW. So... how is that not being able to have friends who are not JWs? I'm not a JW, I'm not even a christian. The rest of it? Somewhere between "no big deal if that's what you're into" and "that probably isn't true."

@diptdipt - So how are you going to break the news to all those Sunday worshipping Christians about Saturday being the Sabbath day and Sunday is just the first day of the work week??? I look at all those poor mislead Christians that really dont read their Bible, around Christmas they'll hang their pretty lights, put up their pine trees "christimas trees" to celebrate Dec. 25 as Jesus birthday. Not to mention those other so call holidays of PAGANISM.

@ShameOnYouMofokhaa - Post # 1 of 2 -- There are 12 claims made in this video. 7 are definitely true, 4 are maybe true and only item #7 is definitely untrue. Please review this and see if I am wrong.

1. Lose all your friends - maybe, some new JW's do some don't

2. No holidays - true

3. No blood transfusion - true

4. Oral/anal sex forbidden by leadership - true (often disregarded)

5. Forbidden music & reading - sort of true (again, often disregarded)

@ShameOnYouMofokhaa - Post 2

6. Raped and you don't scream, considered your fault - true

7. Required to preach 8-9 hours - not true

8. Expected to attend 3 times weekly - true in 2007 when the video was made

9. Forbidden to speak to ex-members -- true if they're disfellowshipped or disassociated

10. Elders judge you unrepentant, you're DF'd & JW's cannot speak to you - true

11. People come back due to no friends - probably true

12. Some cut off by JW's commit suicide - true

[ShameOnYouMofokhaa]

@TK3SOJ The King's Speech is a rated R movie, and it's very beautiful and inspiring. You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Rated R doesn't mean pornographic! It just means it has some things children should probably not see/hear. Some of the most profound movies I've ever seen are R rated movies!

@QueenEiliYAH YOU KNOW WHATS FUNNY::THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU WORK ON THE SABBATH YOU HAVE TO BE KILLED,IF SOMEONE WORSHIPS THE MOON OR THE SUN,YOU HAVE TO BE KILLED,IF SOMEONE TALKS TO YOU ABOUT ANOTHER GOD YOU NEED TO KILL THAT PERSON.IT ALSO TELLS YOU HOW TO BEAT YOUR SLAVES AND HOW TO MARK THEM BY DRILLING THEIR EAR.HOW COME CHRISTIANS NEVER TALK ABOUT THAT.ILL TELL YOU WHY,THEY CHERRY PICK..

@Sharnayroses-Maybe the Bible doesn't forbid oral or anal sex, but the Watchtower does even for married couples. Their book "True Peace and Security" (1986) in pages 142-151 says "homosexuals employ other forms of intercourse in what the apostle refers to as "disgraceful sexual appetites" and "obscene" practices. (Romans 1:24-32) Could married couples imitate such homosexual forms of intercourse in their own marriage and still be free in God's eyes from expressing "disgraceful sexual appetites"?
