  ) associates.

  For me I think a whole lot of the problem lies in the control I continue to let the jw's have over my mind and personal judgement. I think if I erased the jws from my mind (hypothetically) then I wouldn't view people as a threat so much.

  i hear ya, man. i have terrible social skills and i have trouble getting close to people since i left. i used to think what you said above, like there was a wall preventing me from accessing my social skills. well, i knocked the wall down and realized there were no real social skills back there to begin with. its kind of depressing.

  its time to leave.

  i have had all the answers i need to make a firm decision.

  thank you so much everyone for your replies, for talking to me over the last few weeks and for some of the humour.. i believe the jws are right and that they have the truth.

  Best of luck to you (oops...sorry). it sounds like you'll make a great jehovahs witness.

  I believe the jws are right and that they have the truth. i believe many of you know that too.

  Some of you may have been df'd, possibly as a result of your own stuff and you deserved it.

  Im not coming back to this site, so feel free to comment for the benefit of others on here, but i wont be on the forum again.

  what would you have done back in the 1st century when jesus came on the earthly stage and started christianity.

  would you have became his follower?

  that is not the only congregation that had people problems.

  no i do not i was simply conveying too you how you missed applied another scripture by Qouting jesus words about judging when i made a statement about certain things not being encouraging!

  i would venture to say that you JUDGED our association on this forum as not encouraging.

  if that wasn't your intent, then pehaps you can see why it was contrued as such.

  my point in this whole thread was just that there is no biblical definition of what constitutes a congregation. you apparently agree because up until now you have shown no such definition of acceptable fellowship from the bible.

  sorry man, i don't mean to come across as hostile.

  I'm sure he meant meeting up at the neighborhood sports bar or Chinese buffet

  now that's a congregation i'd gladly attend.

  defd-

  i dont call bashing people cursing at people and out right hatred encouraging.

  tsk, tsk. 'judge not lest ye be judged' (i hope i'm not quoting that out of context...)

  24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. KJV

  yeah, that's the only one i've seen too. too bad it wasn't jesus talking and it's rather vague on what 'assembling' is...

  how much more proof do you need?

  i'm just looking for quotes. that's all. i'm not trying to argue. i just want to see quotes from the bible, please.

  - what physically constitutes the Christian Congregation? (because it's the physical attendance that's at issue here, correct?)

  - where was it directed that such attendance was mandatory?

  waiting patiently. thank you
