    I still think it might be the truth - what is wrong with me?

    apostate literature - i have read the lot.

    you name it - c of c, gentile times reconsidered, thirty tears a watchtower slave, the orwellian world of jehovah's witness, apocalypse delayed, and the freeminds and watchtower observer sites, so on and so on.

    and i have been reading the posts on this site regularly pretty much since it started, and hourglass before it.

    Are we sure that this thread is a valid way to spend a day?

    It seems as though our friend is uncertain of his own pathway. He also claims to have read lots and lots of material over the years and it is doubtful he will listen to any old news on this thread, as he knows it all

    Its fun to watch the threads expand though.

    I find it interesting that lots appear to be jumping upon this thread to comment. Maybe we are simply defending our own ideologies?

    Apostates on this site pretty much admit that one main reason they left was because they did not want to live up to Bible standards (please don't eat me alive for saying this - it is true)

    That appears to be the case with certain individuals and for a time, believe me, I decided to turn my life over to drugs and a few other vices. But then, I examined myself and decided to clean up my act in light of the standards I believed in within my heart.

    Others leave for scriptural reasons and I do not think Ray Franz left because of breaking Bible principles. I also read CF with great interest and read about 2/3's of CoC (before growing tired of the material - I had read enough basically).

    You have sadly made a broad generalization and have fallen into the overtly judgemental mindset (very JW infact).

    The UN thing - so what if the Witnesses joined the UN, what's the big deal?

    I had to sit through the study of "Revelation: Its Climax At Hand" - as I am sure you have. You know that being affiliated with the UN is a big deal, according to this book and other publications!

    Saying all of this though, I do understand how you feel and I wish you all the best in your personal journey.
