  the other brother says, "i heard it's really violent"!

  i hear many people on this forum say that kh's don't have windows.

  but i have never been to one that didn't have windows.

  is this only in a certain area or something?.

  some 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.

  there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.

  he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.

  he was also arrested soon after this.

  Bible Atrocities

  2. beliefs

  i really can't wrap my head around how people can still consider god loving with such atrocious biblical accounts such as, 1 samuel 15, (god ordering the slaughter of amelikite baby's and children) 2nd kings 2, forgot the verses (god sending bears to maul 42 children) and many others.have you ever asked a witness or anyone elsewhat they think about these accounts?

  what was their response?

  i'd love to ask one, but unfortunately i'm still physically in the cult and i wouldn't want to raise any suspicions.

  and also, how did you end up leaving?.

  Did anyone in the congregation discourage you from going to college?

  i remember being out on service with an elder when i was 17. he asked me what i plan on doing after high school.

  i told him i was thinking of going to college to be a teacher.

  he then asked me, "do you think this system is going to be around that long"?
