  When you stop and think about it, there is more of a strenuous intent in arriving at the truth on many

  matters focused around the WTS/JWS and on others matters as well. This Site as helped many people

  tear back the ignorance espoused by the WTS. and has exposed its inherent corruption as an

  established religious publishing house. So in that sense the people here are in "The Truth"

  ..... well at least trying a little harder .

  So next time some JWS queries you on what your up to, tell them your in the Truth.

  We agree with you.

  We have seen more deep thinkers, researchers, and reasonable, logical people on here than any typical JW we've talked to in the past decade. There has been some awesome posts on here with some very helpful scriptures and topics.

  Keep up the good work everyone!

  Affectionately, Brother of the Hawk.

  Sometimes I think that JW’s are like alcoholics- trying to maintain their fantasy world while working frantically to keep reality from intruding in their lives. For those of us who have left the religion, in the 21st century it is very easy- with Wikipedia, thousands of books by Bible scholars, and even the doctrinal stance of some mainstream religions- these all point to a common-sense view of the Bible & God that most people will arrive at with enough research and thinking. While nothing can really be said to be ‘the truth’; a logical well though out system of belief backed by countless references could be as good as it gets.

  The two biggest opponents of this religious organization is its long established doctrines which were created for commercial appeal and

  100 years of actual reality itself.

  On a weaker stance is better and more accurate interpretation of the Bible, particularly on the NT.

  Yes, in 2014, we will mark 100 years of a lie.

  I was visiting a neighbor lady who is in a nursing home and her friend there turned 100 years old. It made me think about the crazy generation teaching in the Borg.

  So, so glad I know the real truth and that in actually am "in the truth," just no longer a cult member.

  Thanks for the new phraseology, I like it!

  Love it ! especially as we can adapt it in various ways "Now I am in the Truth .............." is bound to get a questioning response from those who know you have nothing to do with JW/WT stuff.

  Direct questioners to JWFacts.com "oh, it is all explained on this website !"

  One of things that drew myself away from the JWS after being brought up in this religion, was that it became obvious to me that the WTS.

  was obscuring the truth for commercial reasons and intent.

  Saw everything that was going on during the 1975 years and how it was literally effecting people, in some of the most terrible

  and horrendous ways. The WTS. leaders at the time had one pressing forwarding agenda and that was literature distribution and circulation.

  They had little empathetic concern for what their doctrinal teaching was doing to people, other than the fact that their published

  literature was increasing in circulating numbers.

  To this day most JWS know nothing of the fact that the WTS. under C T Russell, tried this 6000 dating years previously back in the early 1900's.

  Retrospectively speaking I find most of the WTS. in its entire history was more concerned about creating doctrines which could potentially create

  their own public appeal to the reader, rather than actual accuracy in interpretation.

  Perhaps not so sunrising since this religion has a publishing house at its operative core.

  Brother of the Hawk - "We have seen more deep thinkers, researchers, and reasonable, logical people on here than any typical JW we've talked to in the past decade."

  Well, when the WTS's active and ongoing ideological crackdown inevitably culls out all the genuinely concience-inclined, creative types, intellectuals, and outside--the-box thinkers, where the hell else are these people gonna feel welcome?

  I've lost count of how many different posters here have mentioned dutiful elders lamenting that "all the best people are leaving", or words to that effect.

  My answer to those elders: guys, if the "best people" are leaving, there's usually a reason for it...

  It really doesn't take much intellect to realize whats wrong with the WTS. and its expressed doctrines.

  The WTs. has always disingenuously exploited people's ignorance and perhaps their insecurities, to coerce people into their

  submissive control and exploitation to work distributing their literature.

  Its a game of catch and exploit.

  The hardship and pain for individuals comes in when its realized everything the WTS. said or proclaimed doesn't appear, leaving many

  impoverished, depressed and internally asking themselves why ?
