  ok, so the time has finally come to register an account on this site.

  not that i think i have much to contribute to the discussions here, but more out of a desire to show that yet another person has learned ttatt.

  i am a fader, not discussing ttatt with anyone as i know the inevitable outcome it would have.

  This is fantastic news. Best thing I've heard all day.

  I remember the night they announced my deletion as a MS.

  It felt like a won something when it finally sunk in. Like a prize.

  
  

  Bask in the moment, record the date, I wish I did to chart personal growth and progress.

  
  

  I'd love to hear your experience in a PM, please.

  Churches: Praise the LORD! ---- JWs: Praise the Org!

  I'm having a hard time understanding what you hope to achieve DocHouse. It's like you want to remain a witness somehow by convincing others to look for  the "good" in the WT.

  
  

  
  

  Even your screen name is suspicious, as Doc House on TV is one of the biggest dick heads in history. Don't be like that. Nobody enjoys arrogant, self righteous judgement.

  Regroup man. The WTS offers no value or truth at all.

  I see zero evidence for god right now, and I am left as an agnostic willing to accept a creator if one appears after 25 years having "the Truth".

  
  

  Maybe that would be a good starting point.

  Prove there is a god.

  Early Morning Informal Witnessing, Yay!!

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many of us would get up and "start your time" by 6:00am or earlier?.

  i sure did my fair share and convinced many others to join me semi-regularly.. we'd stand out in front of "somewhere/something", you remember?.

  donut shop, 7-11, liquor store ( genius ), driving to laundry rooms or coin-op's, etc... anyway, this past sunday i was pumping fuel for the long trip home early in the morning out of l.a. to norcal, when i spotted a young, energetic version of myself 20 years ago.

  I remember this one time I was trying to place a magazine with someone pumping gas here in my home town. Maybe 15 years ago.

  
  

  He started laughing manically and even stated very loudly as I walked away:
  "You'd have to be on acid to believe that!!!" 

  
  

  I should have listened.

  Earth rotates the wrong way. ( no one even knew that )

  by kairos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've heard it mentioned a few times.. the rotating earth graphic in the background on jwtv rotates backwards.. i've mentioned it to the active and they are not concerned at all.. my response is, "it's something they are portraying that cannot be more wrong".. .

  two gb members have stood in front of it telling us to trust them.

  how can you when they think the sun rises in the west.... .

  Looks like they corrected the rotation for Tony's part.

  
  

  At least for part of it.

  I was in your spot for a short while before just quitting the JW's completely and fading.

  My wife is still in. She went to the meeting this morning and service yesterday.

  
  

  I quit hassling her about a week ago and things are going great.

  Be patient, get solid on you decision to leave.

  
  

  There is no reason to live under watchtower authority.

  Why acknowledge the DFing or DAing doctrine?

  
  

  I walked away.

  Watchtower Study today Jan 4 2015 , Fallacious Reasoning (issue Nov 15 2014)

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the subject of the study was jesus resurrection .

  my post is not about the subject and whether or not that can be believed in.

  millions of christians do and it is not my place to debunk religious faith.
