After learning TTATT, I tried to defend the organization & tried to justify its actions, but reached a point where I could not defend it anymore! I then realized that if I couldn't defend "the truth", it was not because I was a poor defender of "truth" but rather it was because it is NOT truth in the first place!

CAN WE BE BETTER THAN THE GOD WE SERVE?
by Terry inbe careful what you say god is and what he wants; you may be saying more about yourself than you realize.. it may well be our personal taste in religion is revelatory of our basic character.. _____.
look at the devout islamist whose worship consists of blowing people up or cutting off heads.. contrast that to those hindi who sit with legs folded in their own lap contemplating bliss.. now contrast both the above to somebody who believes service to god is visiting the sick in hospitals.. _____.
instead of there being 3 different gods served--there might only be an extraordinary unveiling of each person's heart and mind!.

Why can't I just leave?
by Trapped in JW land insome of you may know my situation.
i'm still going to meetings, but i am a closet apostate and homosexual i. only keep going to meetings to please my family and some friends.
i guess i could tell my mom i no longer want to be a jehovah's witness and stop going to meetings, but i'm too scared to do it.

If you wait, it would definitely be easier for you to leave as you would then be in a position where no one can control you. As long as you are living under the same roof with JW family, leaving can NEVER be easy. If your bf truly understands you, he would be willing to wait, if not, then it would simply mean that he is not the one for you

I have nothing left in the tank, I need help
by Yondaime ini dont have the willpower to attend meetings anymore.
i'm literally on the sound system list every week.
i'm either reading on sunday or tuesday, praying on tuesday nites, adjusting mics, passing mics, or working the sound system, or doing last minute parts for the service meeting.

I often thought about why there are only a few million witnesses of Jehovah in a world filled with billions of people. The answer given is that Jehovah looks for quality, NOT quantity
Then I started to think: Wait... why do people on the outside seem to be of better quality than us???

why didnt God just do this?
by sowhatnow infor one thing, i cant get past genesis, but no matter.. when god told adam and eve if you eat from the tree youll die.
so why did he not simple let them die and not allow the offspring to?.
you see, if i was a god, and i told two people that, id let them die , .

Since Elders And Mini Servants Have To Be Exemplary How Does Anyone Ever Qualify?
by minimus init seems to me that you must be almost perfect to be a " servant" in the organization today.
no college, no spiritually weak in the family, no disfellowshipped living at home, no tight pants, etc......who can live up to their lofty ideals?.
