Re: jw's and internet--

their UN involvement!!

molestation really does occur in jehovah's org

apostates aren't bad people

no oral sex!

There's more, but that's all I can think of right now.

I wish I had the internet back in the 1980's to check everything out such as the issues you mention. I note that since I left in 1987 so many other people came in and also left.

Same as Loneysheep - JW/UN was the biggest revelation which then lead on to finding this site.

But I've got to admit that today, for the first time, I have managed to complete the Sunday Express big crossword with the help of the internet - my son said I was cheating (yes - but only a little) :)

That there is no satisfying answer that holds water as to where we came from and where we are going when we die. There is no tangible truth. Just possiblities.

Nice to see someone came here by accident and found out the truth about the JWs.

Jaguar some of the things mentioned in truthbeknown.com are not contradictory but rather christianity rendered the Mosaic law obsolete eg circumcision, the eye for an eye justice etc

I came here by accident too - and learned the Truth about the Truth - the UN thing is massive in my opinion. Also, seeing the Watchtower (thanks Blondie) and other WTBTS publications for what they really are. Not forgetting 'Quotes' site too :)...Although I'd left the Org many years prior, I retained a certain amount of guilt believing I wasn't good enough to be a Dub. Now I know different.

I had already left the witnesses through a relatively successful fade but still believed that the witnesses probably had the closest thing to the truth if not the whole truth - still I fundamentally disagreed with their stance on higher education and was/am cynical about the 1914 goal post shift. I was also appalled by the local treatment of an incident of child abuse.

Getting on the internet and googling Jehovahs Witnesses allowed me to understand that whilst I had come to my conclusions on my own, the feelings and thoughts I had were widely held and that the societies problems with child abuse were of a global epidemic and a massive problem for them.

Thankfully now mentally free I can try to help others in a similar situation to that I was in over a year ago.
