I never could believe mostly cause they can't tell you just how they know that they are being called. And they leave you with the impression that you don't deserve to know anyway when you ask, when so much is hinging on if they really are telling the truth or just wishful thinking onn their part. Personly all humans are basicly good people if you look at them from gods point of veiw, he can see beyond our imperfections anyway, so its not like we have to be just right.

What to Believe In Now?
by Frannie Banannie inprior to being borganized, i was captivated by bible scriptures and doctrines....but....after od-ing on scriptural content and doctrines according to the borg for over two decades, i began researching the scriptures to discover too many inconsistencies, even in what was alleged to be god's word.....the writings of earthling men, said to be inspired by god...... during the od-ing, i experienced quite a few personal spiritual incidents or events, which served at the time to confirm to me that the scriptures themselves were valid as to their veracity and content.....but.... after researching and discovering the inconsistencies in them, i've wondered if the spiritual experiences i had were inspired by what i had read and believed in the scriptures, as i had *believed* in those words.....like....hallucinations caused by strong belief or brain-washing....you know my drift, i'm sure.....i do know that some of the spiritual phenomena toward the end of my being borganized was leading me out of the borg...definitely...no questions about that....so....to me....even if there's the possibility that my experiences were caused by being immersed mentally and emotionally in scriptural content, the end result was good...and beneficial to me, since they did free me and open my eyes to the real truth of the matter....... now that i've discovered the inconsistencies in the scriptures and religious doctrines, i have only blind faith in god left to me.....even though i sense that he's here for me and listens and answers when i ask, it's sometimes difficult to deal with....i keep wondering if there isn't something or someone i should be putting my faith in....but the answer always appears to be "no"......i can't find god in a book.....i can't find him in a building or organization.....i don't know what tomorrow....or next week, next month, next year or the next century or millenium will bring to mankind...... could it be that life is once again becoming an adventure for which i do not know what the outcome is?
like it was when i was young?
if it is.....then thank god!....for to always know what and where i was supposed to be and what tomorrow and the future would bring was to live in fear....fear of not living up to my part in someone else's plan.....be it god's or mankind's.....i much prefer to "pioneer" my life....one day at a time....even if i don't know what to expect from it....should i seek enlightenment beyond what has been given to me?.

LOL, I belive that one day we will all be drawn into the spiritual quest that I call the "great perhaps".
Its a great all consuming, bathing, refreashing, light, we will leave this clasical mess behind in a flurry of forgotton dreams.

Elders - Law Enforcers or Loving
by Jim Dee inthey don't care
they enforce the rules without compassion, dogma without dignity and punish with glee - it keeps the others in line.
they have total control without guideline or being accountable to anyone.

The very term to "step down" has always errked me to no end. Elders who had to step down leaves the impression they are above me somehow. Yuck it just makes me sick.

The Witness's took advantage of the human need for acceptance and unity with a group, then made by-laws to hold over your head as threats to expel you and shun you once they have you absorbed into their quagmire of misplaced loyalties.
What a sad and disgusting place to find your self seeking God at. If your a tender hearted person you can surely be hurt by such groups as the Witness's. I have found myself finding rest for my soul by attending certain meetings at times from say the Baptist they are very easy going kind hearted group of people, I go when I need some spiritual tenderness where I will not be treated like I am soiled clothes. You what I like about the Batist before and after the service you can if you want drink coffie and donuts and talk and laugh and relaxe. Now if you tried that at a Witness meeting they would draw and quarter you.

the elders came
by the mole inmy friend and my sister has betrayed me in my confidence to ask them on issues i have with the org.
i admitted that i dont think what the org is telling is all truth.
so the elders came and whipped me but i would not bow down to them, my freedom is at stake and i will not be a robot.

Internet use and the dubs
by William Penwell injust wondering if anyone is aware of a clamp down coming down on internet use with the dubs?
just talking to my parents tonight and there was some mention that "big brother" wt organization will be shutting down any dub web sites.
i guess i wasn't to popular as i said, "god created us with a brain to think amd it would be the most divine thing if we used that brain to think for ourself".

Now that would OK by me if they thru a tittie, and tried to send the elders to my house or at the very lest contact me in any other manor for the purpose of asking / making me to stop posting. I would create a living hell for them in ways that would baffle even Steven King.

How do I find God if I want to find him?
by Singing Man inyes, i have many times asked this of my self.
after leavening the witness's its been hard, i think ewww i am no good cause unless i am attending the kingdom hall i won't have gods grace and he won't hear my prayers or anything.
boy they sure had me, being raised a witness sticks with you long after you leave in ways you think it never would and in ways you just can't can't flush.

Thanks you guys, your all so good to me. I hope this web site never goes away, it has been there for me many times even if I never be came someone who contributed to it. Basicly I was a Jehovah's Witness who almost took his life after finding myself disfellowshipped during very bad part of my life. Now when I think of being a Jehovah's Witness it feels like looking at the grand canyon full to the rim with black tar.
