Hi newbie saying hello (page 2)

Thanks for your posts. Well ,in answer to your question about why I left,It wasnt a deliberate decision as in I thought I've had enough of this and cant be bothered, it was because of pressure from other sources. I was married to a man who was extrememly difficult to live with and who made it so hard for me to practice my beliefs. My father is a Methodist preacher so you can imagine what he thought when I became a baptised member. He practically called me a Satanist. In fact my sister recieved a better response when she told him she was a lesbian!. I tried for a while but I was nearly always sitting on the fence as it were, with one foot in the world and the other in the truth. Eventually, after a bout of depression, I drifted away. A few of the members have actually, even some that I considered to be strong in the truth. these are trying times as you all know. When I left at first I did find it hard but as in everything the more you stay away from something, the less its effect has on you and you become more entangled in the world and the truth seems a long way away. I know the end is near and I know that unless I try and go back I may not survive but I feel that I'm too far down the road! I do still believe in the truth and in some ways it would be easier not to because some members that have drifted lose their conviction in it. I have and will always voice my opinion if anyone says anything derogatory about the truth or Witnesses in general and I will always have a belief in God. My father at least instilled in me spiritual values which were a good foundation for the truth. Anyway, thanks again for your posts. I'm not really sure why I decided to register on this site. I came across it while researching my book and was curious.

Well Niki I hope you stay and defend what you think is the "truth". It would liven up the place I think. Don't worry we don't bite...hard.

"spiritual values"?

Nikitaeve, can you think of anything more evil and vile than the mass murder of of men, woman and children? Can you?

Please explain to me how warmly embracing the belief that billions will be murdered so that you may covet their land and live happily ever after, is not blatantly supporting what you truly know is the height of evil? What kind of "good foundation" and "spiritual values" is attracted to such dark and repugnant things?

Do you honestly feel that the true Source of such a wondrous expression of life and universe can really be reduced down to a tribal god of war and destruction? Or, do you find in your heart that the truth must be far more loving and beautiful, rather than dark and dangerous?

I suggest you do some very deep heart-felt pondering and soul searching; and if you find you are genuinely attracted to the smell of blood, then be the very best Jehovah's Witness you can be. Perhaps, in the end, your deity will allow you to kill a few of us yourself. If not, if you find instead a natural desire to be kind and peaceful, then I assure you there are other avenues to explore, and far more beautiful understandings of the Divine.

Get of the fence. Find your way and be true to it. Good luck.

Nikita, I use to think just like you. It took me a long time to realize that I was worshipping an organization. The Jehovah's Witnesses are a man made organization just like any other religion. The fear of accepting this was hard. I kind of though that I would be committing the ultimate sin which was denying God. Then I became a little bit stronger, with the help of the board; and was able to question the religion. The Witnesses wants their followers to get all of the "householders" to question their religion, but they don't want you to question yours. They, actually, teach you that doing so is a sin. Such malarkey! I can't tell you how glad that I am to be away from the clutches of that mind-draining organization.

hi everyone again. Wow, I just have to say James you really need to calm down a little before you burst a vessel. What happened to make you so full of hate? For your information Im no longer sitting on the fence and im quite happy and have found my way thanks very much. I truely have no idea why you imagine I may end up 'killing a few of you' although I can understand why some people may want to. You really sound like you hate JW a lot. This is nothing like Ive been taught, nothing at all. I have read the bible and am studying it and other religions for my novel. Im also studying about Satan. is it maybe him that you're talking about when you talk of the mass murder of millions? Im not a JW any longer becasue I dont go door to door or go to the meetings but they are among some of the nicest people ive met. They are not perfect and never claim to be either and mistakes have been made along the way and no doubt you're dying to tell me of some of them Dont bother because Ive heard most of them. I believe what I read in the bible James and thats my personal choice and my view of the JW is my personal choice too. I am a peaceful person but it makes me sick when people attack because they either are afraid or dont understand. God feels sick to his stomach when he sees what goes on in his name and a lot of it is violence and death but i truely cant recall him asking me to go and kill a few. I think you'll find Satan does a pretty good job of that by himself. Satan is laughing at you and having a great time because he's got you where he wants you, and that is believing the hype. i hope you can see that before its too late. Anyway, im pretty at peace with myself and have accepted who i am and what God is about and what Satan is doing. I know the truth, know it in my heart. Thats my opinion. Anyway, to Cellist, who asked what book Im writing? The book is a supernatural thriller about Satan and the battle between good and evil. I am learning so much in tyhe research about various religions and about the devil. fascinating stuff.

Wow, you sound just as heated as him, Niki. Pot calling kettle black perhaps?
