How True Are The Testimonies On This Board.?
by Paradise Found in
1. jw
2. friends
its easy to belive what we read and accept as truth.when my wife came to the computer i left on the screen a post on what happend at bethel (not intentionally) ..she read it and said i dont belive it?

i would like to belive what i read on this board is 100 % true.

iam grateful for the truth on the u:n and more and more stuff that blows my mind away.and also personal stories that have had a profound effect on me.. sadly iam certain with-out doubt that the majority of exsperinences on this board are true because no matter how sincere a person is when you allow people to have a higher legal position in the land they live in than the law of the land they live in( no matter how bad or corrupt the society of the land we live in.

i have been embarressed by my inabilty to express myself on the board.

oftern i write what i mean but what i wrote is miss-understood and i come across sounding totally stupid or miss-understood.. if you are a lurker on the board (english your mother tounge or not)does your ability to write english stop you posting?.

if you contribute to the board and your natural language is not english are you happy with how you express yourself?.

i didn't have a clue to these issues below.

i was surprised after 20 years in the wtbts to find out that...... 587bce and not 607bce <--- not a clue about this.. 1874 was taught until 1929 as the date jesus took rule in heaven <------ actually i did read this once and surpressed it due to my great faith in the org.. that jesus is the mediator of all men (and women) .

that the great crowd of rev is in the temple (naos) <--- they are in heaven, scripturally speaking.

those life stories of bros and sis's in the awakes and wts were always very inspirational and encouraging to me when i was in the borg.

everyone enjoyed reading them.

now i realise that these experiences would have been censored and edited for maximum affect on the readers.
