    Am I allowed to discuss to people why I belief in most of their doctrines still? Because I have noticed people always want me to believe in their stuff, can it work the other way around?

    I should be able to! Because you should be able to be on a "level playing field."

    You can discuss anything you want here, that is why it is so great. You will not be kicked out for apostasy if noone agrees with you

    I may be speaking out of line here because I have not read many of your prior postings and threads... This is a discussion board. Seems that you are allowed to discuss whatever you want especially as it concerns beliefs and doctrines of Jehovah's witnesses. Yet, because it is a discussion board, you should expect others to comment back to you about their beliefs. Part of the process is to help each of us prove to ourselves what is right. Or to at least clarify our respective belief systems. I really find it difficult to believe (ha!) that people here 'always want <you> to believe in their stuff.' I think they probably want to help you prove to yourself why you chose to believe the way you do. -Aude. (meaning: Dare to Know; Dare to Have Knowledge/Wisdom) PS: Welcome to the Board.

    aude stated it well.
    You can believe anything you want and state it here but don't be surprised if people call you on it. Also, don't be quick to take offense to it. The majority of people here aren't doing it to be mean. They just disagree.

    Rightio people. Thanks for your help! :)

    Yeah, I don't mind what people believe in, I just like to share what I believe too. I certain love to hear all the "bad stories" about what happened. Because these are people's experience. And I like to read about what the WTS has done when they shouldn't of... And you know you are not alone, that's one of the good things about this message board. :) (Well, On the Internet in general as well. :) )

    Yeah, you'll hear a lot of stuff that the WT will wish you hadn't. The question then becomes, can you still endorse them when you have learned all there is to know about them?
