fisrt I am not a JW anymore,I was basicaly raised in the JW Faith,from age 6 to age 16,then I left,then I got married,my new wife wanted to know about JW's,so I took her to the meetings,now,when I went back I saw what they they had taught me as a child,all the same,I saw things that were not to my likeing,or what I thought were right ,but I still remained,I can only say This about the JW's,they are people like everyone else,they dont beleive in killing other people,,they dont dont beleive fornication,,theifvery,you all here know all this,so go ahead and throw stones at them,they to me are no different than any other people trieng to be good in a wild and wicked world,so what if they teach isnt tasteful to you,get over it,how many jew's didnt like what the jewish preist taught?i have met many other ex JW's,all whineing and wimpering about how JW's did this and did that,guys and gals,it was the Jehovah that did it,it was the people you were in direct contact with,(non Perfect humans)its the same as when you were in school,maybe a teacher didnt teach you everything you needed to know,well there is a libiray in schools,they have all the books so you can learn on your own,now I noticed some of you here have learned a lot,butbut if think your gonna just get by ,by hearing what some what says is truth,you can forget that,you got a big surprise waiting for you.even though I am not a JW.I do defend them,as I do any faihful regilous person who realy beleives in what they beleive in,you have to remember the main deal is ,GOD reads the hearts of the people ,so no matter who or where they are,He knows all he needs to know,there is nothing he doesnt see,and with that you should know that what ever you want to think or beleive,he see;s inside your heart,he knows if you or we ,are earnest in what we are doing,so thats all that matters,and I also must admit,JW's did open my eyes to a lot things ,such as all the faslehoods in the world,all the traditions of man,all there pagonistist rituals intertwined into the holidays of today,so i can asume some of you just got pissed off because you cant do the birthday thing ,(as my fleshly brother did) and christmas,all that other crap,but who cares anyways,money is the key of the world,and JW's never hid that fact,in fact i was raised to work hard and make money,to support my family,feed and clothe them,and all that goes with it,dont cheat and lie or steal,dont do drugs,dont be a drunkard,dont adultriate,fornicate,you all know the teachings,once again go ahead and bash them with stones,they did nothing good what so ever,all they did was screw up everyones mind,yeh right,like I said get over it,if you dont want to be a JW,fine do as i did LEAVE THEM,they wont stop you,but you cant blame them for trieng to do what they beleive in,most not all of the ex JW's I have met try so hard to find fault with them,well you know what ,it easy to find fault in every one on this planet,no one is perfect,now what do you think of Jehovah is the main issue not the ones telling about him,(when who else would)all the other groups do is try to hide that name,try to pull you into there churchs to get that 10th tideing thing,never once did I feel like I had to give anything to the JW's,in fact many of them (the people) did nothing short of bend over backwards to help me in many ways,but either way,you all read it,you all here know it,just like the book said,no one will have an excuse to say they didnt know,at least you did get a good teaching and learning of how to read the bible,for yourselves,you can call me an apostate, or what ever you want,It doesnt matter to me at all,I know what the Thruth is,and I dont need any group of people to make me feel complete in life,call me anti social if you want,but I dont have to worry about aids,or getting robbed by friends(so called)dont have to worry about much of anything,I call on the name of Jehovah ,and He heres me,he even answers me,and yes he helps me in every way of my life,the entire message that the JW's teach is call on Jehovah,he is there for you all,and you dont have to in the Jehovah's Wittness's for him to hear you,I could go on and on,but I wont,probily wont even post here or read any replies of my post,i just stumbled across this site,and figured I would my 2 cents in,so i say now,Live long and prosper,be well and happy all of humanity is my wish,thank you for place to post it host

I agree that lots of them are decent people. If you keep reading this website, you'll find that it's not necessarily the JWs that are the target of us throwing stones, but it's the people who run the JW religion - the Governing Body. They are the source of all the problems that are caused by the JWs. Many JWs put aside their true feelings to promote the feelings of the Governing Body.

However, there are also JWs who's evil side has been intensified by the teachings of the Governing Body. I was a victim of one of these people.

Satanus

GOD reads the hearts of the people ,so no matter who or where they are,He knows all he needs to know,there is nothing he doesnt see

I thought it was santa who did that.

JW's did open my eyes to a lot things ,such as all the faslehoods in the world,all the traditions of man

Of course, and that is what the jws are too. But, they didn't explain that part, did they?

what do you think of Jehovah is the main issue not the ones telling about him

You know the part of the bible that they call the christian greek scriptures? Well, in the manuscripts from which the jws translated that part, the name jehovah never appears, not even one time. The reason that it is in the wt bible, is becuase the wt put it in there, over 200 times. In fact, there are no oldest greek manuscripts that have the name jehovah. Why does the wt distrust the bible like that????

Btw, i agree that you don't need the jws.

I don't know what the question was that you are supplying an answer to, and I can't help but wonder what kind of school you went to during your formative JW years. Your spelling is deplorable.

I do wish you a happy life.
