    I could also add to that list about the divide in rich and poor -- they suck up to the rich people in the church and give them status of elder and ministerial servant and "tell the poor person to side at the back seat." I always wonder how they can justify being wealthy and having many belongings. This Scripture always comes to my mind.

    Luke 18:18-23 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying: "Good Teacher, by doing what shall I inherit everlasting life?" 19 Jesus said to him: "Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God. 20 You know the commandments, 'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'" 21 Then he said: "All these I have kept from youth on." 22 After hearing that, Jesus said to him: "There is yet one thing lacking about you: Sell all the things you have and distribute to poor people, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come be my follower." 23 When he heard this, he became deeply grieved, for he was very rich.

    People pick and choose their own doctrines out of the Bible -- and if it sounds bad they ignore it! People don't want to face the truth!

    And I'll tell you I've seen many rich Witnesses that have such a bad attitude and look down at all the battlers of society!

    Because they ensnare people with false promises of a better future. I gave the best years of my life to serve the wts, with no reward at the end of it.

    Their god is very difficult to please whatever the dubs do for him is not enough so they are always stressed out and unhappy. And one mistake done and everything is written off with one stroke no dub will even speak to you anymore.

    I agree with the false promises idea. You're taught to expect to live forever, and when you realize it's not going to happen...

    Yes, it is a disappointment. Still, now I know it isn't going to happen, I'll try to make the most of the time I do have left.

    Living for ever, it will certainly not happen the JW way but perhaps in a different biblical way. I believe in eternal life according to the gospel.

    I really haven't sorted out my beliefs yet. I only just escaped the borg, and I know they don't have the truth. I still believe in God, but I am not anxious to join another religion anytime soon, 25 years in the last one will do for now.
