i was just curious as to the aim of this website?

i thought it was a discussion board for those interested in/ for jehovah's witnesses, but it seems like you're all former jehovah's witnesses?

so is this site just to bash jehovah's witnesses?

this is an update regarding my 17 yo who was dating an unbaptized publisher, carl,18.

when he first began dating her i sat them both down and made sure carl understood that he was visiting the home of a df?d brother who also be considered by the society to be an apostate.

i gave him this direct info not wanting to encroach upon his conscience incase he was maintaining a good one, and incase he was looking to make progress in the jw congregation.

Turn away from these wicked ways!

well as you would have guessed from my name, i am a proud witness and i feel obliged to preach to you about the promises that our wonderful creator, jehovah god, has promised each and every one of us, of any race or background.

i know that you already know what he has told us through his word, but i am curious to wonder why you have chosen to jump off the narrow road which leads to everlasting life.

is it because you have had a bad experience in god's organization?

my wife is really starting to transition out of the wts.

this has been a happy time in both of our lives.. while things have peaceful at home - her somewhat abrupt departure appears to have raised eyebrows with her 2 jw syblings.

so much so that they are starting to plant their own seeds of doubt into her head.

feeling lost today.. it's the weekend, and i will be once again going home to an empty house, where my children won't be welcoming me home.

i haven't seen or talked to them in a very long time.

i won't be able to kiss their sweet faces, or hold them close to me, so i can tell them i love them.

How can Jesus be God since he referred to the Father as "my God"
by hooberus in

ron rhodes quotes paul g. weathers: .

since christ came as man, and since one of the proper duties of man is to worship, pray to, and adore [god], it was perfectly proper for jesus to call the father "my god" and to address him in prayer.

positionally speaking as a man, as a jew, and as our high priest ("made like his brothers in every way," heb.
