My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 3
by Simon in
1. jw
2. experiences
for me, the walls of the watchtower were not destroyed by a single giant cannon-ball but rather every brick had been weakened and suddenly the whole thing just 'collapsed'.. i've alwys been an avid reader and a firm believer that you can learn anything and everything from a good book.

anyway, i was reading a bad book, the creation book, and this time things were different.. normally, the mere thought that the wts could "not be right" could not even be contemplated.

it was like you can't even comprehend the concept or understand the question, least of all imagine it.. yet now, i read the book and things were screaming at me from the pages.

Remember Dateline??

i'm trying to get some comments that active jehovah's witnesses may have heard after dateline aired back on may 28, 2002.

do you remember any comments made about the dateline program either made from the platform at the kingdom hall, or in private conversations with other jw's?

how were the people who where on dateline viewed in your area, especially at the kingdom hall or by other jws?

this is the new book edited by edmund gruss.

i just finished reading it and must say a one word description would be "disturbing".

the book focuses of course on the characters and motivations of the first four presidents of the watchtower society.

Which One Lie Hurt You The Most About Jehovahs Witnesses?
by shamus in
1. jw
2. friends
which one teaching really hurt you when you found out that it was not true?

my number one thing is finding out that the name "jehovah" was not in the bible like it was in the new world translation (tm).

christians did not call god "jehover" "jehovah" or by his first name, no more than you would call your father by his first name when you were a child.

i have been lurking on this board ever since the may 2002 broadcast of that dateline on the subject of child molestation.

that show made me realize that the wt may not be speaking for god.

well naturally i discovered the truth about the "truth" over the past 21 months.
