  I really enjoy your posts and feel you have a great insight where the WT is concerned, for someone who has been exposed to it for such a short time.

  in the may 1, 1988 watchtower, on page 22, a witness, matsue ishii, recalls her first encounter with the bible students in 1928: at the back of our house in tojo-cho, osaka, there was a house with a sign: "osaka branch of the international bible students association.

  " assuming it to be a christian group, i visited the house.

  "do you believe in the second advent of the lord?

  That happened to a sister in my hall. It started off as an item in the hall, experiences placing a new book, it ended up on the platform in the assemble. I knew it was embelished completely, cos I had been with this sister when she placed the book!!!!!

  She didnt want to do it, but did

  I agree the "entry requirement" is different, at the very least you have to be alive to become a witness,,,,,not so with the mormons LOL

  I hate picking out someones past posting but Qcmbr, who is a mormon said that in his 2 years of ministry he baptized .........wait for it..........74 ppl

  Now he never answered when I said I found that hard to believe, but I just donot believe it

  What witness has EVER brought 74ppl in in 2 years ?

  I was still in when I came across this site, id just googled JW!!!!!!! and this was the first site I went onto

  I just read for hours and hours about how DFs ones had been so mistreated and I thought about all the times I had just thought ppl had "wanted" to be DFs

  I knew nothing about the scandels of the WT but knew something was wrong . Then I read Cof C and that was it

  I must say it was the friendlyness here that made me stay, I have been on other sites but I find they are too aggressive, This one has all the info you need, great topics and is truly welcoming !

  Thanks Simon and Angharod for helping my family get its life back.

  Somethings just not true!

  ive been here for sometime now.

  long enough to know that some peoples hatred toward th wtbts and some of its members are based on wrong information.

  for instance: ive read on hear many times that the wt promotes the idea that everyone whos not a witness are not friend material or will be destroyed at armageddon.

  The reason I stopped going to the meeings was that my conscience allowed me or disallowed me to do things not approved of by the WT. I came to realize after reading the bible for myself and actually having some insight into it that when I had a conflict between what the bible says and what the WT promotes, the bible wins every time.

  Its good that you wont allow the elders to rule you, as long as they dont find out

  i was surprised at the number of people who popped in with running advice for vitty.

  i didn't realize we had so many runners on board here.

  i'm getting ready for my first triathlon next month and find myself wondering if we have any triathletes around here..... i have wanted to complete a tri ever since i ran the 1/2 marathon portion on a tri relay 1/2 ironman in 2003. i've shied away from them because the swim totally freaks me out.

  i must say, i never thought that i would see the day when i would find a site about disillusioned (mostly) jehovah's witnesses, but low and behold...one truly exists.

  first let me start off by saying thank you to the creators of this site, and i'll have you know that i've been lurking for several days now and i am just finding the time to finally log on.

  i've been a member of the borg for over 20 years now, been baptised for about 14 of those years and now i find myself in the most unusual of places.
