good job bonafide.... waiting to hear about your fade imploding..lol
reniaa... i dont respond to you often. I am, however, glad you are here. Your counterpoint arguments fuel debate and debate is good. Debate makes people think. Thinking leads to questioning. Questioning leads to an examination of one's beliefs. Examination can lead to change for the better...including leaving a cult....this site helped me do that...and I was an elder, pioneer, and MTS grad like Bonafide.
Reniaa....You sound sooooo much like my JW mom, defending God's Organization™ even though she has obvious doubts about the ever shifting sands of the Watchtower doctrine.
As an active JW on an anti-JW site, you subject yourself to an almost guaranteed JC by the rules of the religion. You not only lurk on an apostate (per JW rules) site, you are registered and posting, engaging apostates in discussion. You know this is grounds for apostasy. It is likely you would be difellowshipped. I sat on a JC for an apostasy. That brother did nothing apostate to be DF..there was no real "proof"....the PO had it in for him. The PO was not interested in evidence to the contrary. Inuendo and suspicioun was enough.
YOU, on the other hand, have tons and tons and tons of proof against you for apostasy if anyone ever found out. I hope not for your sake. You seem to have a need to have one foot in the religion cult.
I lurked here as an elder early on. Only when I was on my way out and fading did I register and post. I am done with the religion now. I don't do anything dub anymore. My JW mom is the only reason I don't just send a letter. For other reasons not apostate, I figure by Sept 1st I will be DF. I will DA first.
sorry bonafide, I didn't intend to hijack your thread....I just had to comment on this within the context of the discussion. I wish reniaa only the best.
