    Trust your inner voice if something doesn't feel right why are you doing it?

    nugget that is the BEST advice! I might add, stop calling that inner voice that is warning you "Satan".

    If I were to give a piece of advise to a JW I would say examine your faith completely.

    Take some acceptance that men are susceptible to be corrupt where there's power and control to be had.

    The kind of power that can be dangerously adverse to killing people !

    Does the WTS. long stream of false preaching from a comercailsed publishing house equate to preaching the true gospel from the bible ?

    or is it a exploited manipulated gospel created by a diversly corrupt religious publishing house ?

    There is a clear and distinct difference between the two.

    Question to test your intellectual honesty: If you aren't willing to be wrong when you are wrong how do you have the right to be right?

    its ok to 'not know'.
    your happiness does not depend on you knowing exactly whats going to happen in the future.
    thats an old lie...and people will try to convince you that the 2 are inextricable. its a lie. they aren't.

    its OK to not know.
    REAL humility is admitting that you dont know.
    you are a human being. a tiny speck on a little planet in a backwater solar system in a fairly mediocre galaxy (as far as galaxies go)...of which there a trillions.
    it's ok to not know all the secrets of reality.

    You have brains in your head.
    You have feet in your shoes.

    "You can steer yourself any
    direction you choose."

    You're on your own.
    And you know what you know.
    And YOU are the guy who'll
    decide where to go.

    I would tell a JWS that its impossible to reach and communicate to god through men , particularly ones that are running

    and operating a publishing house.

    Find the things that fulfill YOU and make you happy, not what you are TOLD to do to make yourself happy. If endless meetings and field service doesn't make you happy, don't feel miserable about it. This does not make you a wicked person!! Find your own identity, the kind of music that you like, the kind of hobbies that you like, the career that you like, the kind of mate that you enjoy. Try to find who you are seperate from what the WTS tells you to be.

    Hey Terry, I don't suppose you have a reference to where the Watchtower tells its membership not to pray for ex-members. I'd love to stash that one in my portfollio of embarassing doctrine.
