Thanks seeks for clarifing that (hug)
Well Frank in a way, as JW we did put people to death in a spiritual way. I was told when they d/f me "You are dead spiritually" & what is worse at the time I believed them...
Did you see Jones town last night ?

Grace,
Shortly after I left JWs, a relative told me I was now "dead" as far as she is concerned. I thanked her and said I've begged in prayer for forgiveness for the sin of being a JW for so many years, and in view of her "judicial decision" -- JW terminology -- I can now view myself as forgiven according to Romans 6:7: "For he who has died has been acquitted from his sin." I told her that I hoped for the same for her someday, and she walked away in a huff.

Mouthy, I just want to say that you are an inspiration to me and I haven't even met you. I've been thinking a lot lately about how as we get older we become more set in our ways. I don't know how old you were when you left, but I think you might have been older than I am right now. I know some right now that are in their 80s and have been in the Org all their lives and I don't know if anything could convince them to let go and accept Christ as their only hope. I'm glad for you that you had the courage to leave. My time is coming, I just don't know when. Thanks again for the inspiration. Seek

Thank you ( seek hug) I was 57 when they kicked me out. I really dont think I would ever have left on my own... You see I truly believed everything. ( except 1914) I had never believed that. But I am terrible in math & never could work out any thing mathmatical EVER,,,, so I just left it up to the WT because they were the ONLY truth in the world ( in my mixed up mind)
Thank you for saying I have been an example. But as for the old people you know in the borg. I doubt weather many will leave. It was devastating for me when they kicked me out. HONESTLY!!!! If my daughter (who had left the WT )had not heard about her having Cancer ...I doubt weather I would be here today, I had to stay alive for her now. To help with her kiddies.
I kept pills to kill myself ,was about to jump under a bus at one point. I truly do believe if hell is anything like the two years I went through,( until I was found by Jesus) ...It is truly a "cutting off from God"I begged Jehovah to forgive my ignorance, my stupidity, I hated to be kicked off the ARK, Hated myself as a replica of Judas... Oh the memory of it is awful ...still.SICK! sick sick,
Now....I really do not mind what anyone thinks of me. I know I have, & will make many errors in my life,I know what I am, I have love, I am kind, I screw up on many occasions ,I rely on MY LORD, if anyone else dont believe about God that is up to each and every one.... He is MY comfort. As children some run around with a Teddy, a doll, a train, etc as their childish "comforters" I am now adult.... My Comforter is Christ...But I love all on board that do or dont believe. I have "been there done that'. 81 in May!!!! I was supposed to be a beauty in the NEW World. Here I sit a wrinkled old woman .Oh well I aam FREE!!!!!!

read good books
Alex Jones has come out with a very differerent expose on what really happened at Jonestown. One you won't get from the msm (main stream media). All of his info. is very well documented which makes it quite scary, reality often is. I listen to Prisonplanet.com to hear info. to hear the Alex Jones show to get info I can't get from main stream t.v. or radio.
