Welcome, and don't worry about the long paragraph. It sounds like you need to proceed very slowly with this. There is so much to read and meditate on, but don't force yourself to get all the answers yesterday. Eventually, within YOUR time frame, you will begin coming to various conclusions. Use these as stepping stones, and eventually you will start feeling more comfortable with the progress you've made. Many of us would like to just set everything out and tell you "this isn't right", "but they said this", "forget what they said about that", etc., but that isn't going to be of benefit to you. Rather, you must pick and choose what YOU want to think about in order for YOU to obtain the most benefit. As lola28 said, we'll be here to help.

Slap one cheek, turn and kick their @%$!
by free2beme ini remember the whole, "slap one cheek and turn and let them slap the other", philosophy we were taught as witnesses.
i was wondering how others felt about this and how far you left it behind.
i know people will sometimes have that humble personality that allows things to role off them, while others are more prone to fight the fine fight.

Jehovah certainly has a way of caring for his flock, doesn't he?
He sure does! Just think of the health benefits, too! Keep climbing those apartment house stairs and you WILL live forever!

I'm not buying it! That people left the Witnesses and became Christians.
by free2beme ini tried it, could not swallow all the lies and misinformation they had.
i am sorry, but even if you deny the whole witness faith, there is still parts to christianity that they pointed out that you can not just ignore and act like it is okay to join another faith that is christian.
are you going to become catholic when your know their history?

So I would be no different if I was a Witness or a Christian, both rely on ignoring a great deal of facts.
Correct-o-mundo. Except you wouldn't be dragging a JW ball & chain if you were a Christian.

I'm addicted to these, I can't stop!!
by damselfly inif you prefer to keep your bath to yourself and wouldn't dream of allowing anyone else anywhere near the bathroom when you're in there naked, please don't allow the following suggestion to detract from your enjoyment of a bubbly, mauve bathos bath.
if you prefer to share your bath for reasons of ecological soundness or just plain fun, then bathos is absolutely ideal!
we make it with some of most sensual, relaxing essential oils on the planet, including lots of violet leaf which is reputed to help people remember why they got together in the first place.

Another example of false hope foisted on the R&F by Jehovah's insidious and manipulative mouthpiece, the FDS. Similar to '75.

Update: New Governing Body Pics - Have fun!
by Neo inthe twelve men who exert control over the lives of 6,000,000 people and who could put a stop to all the harm caused to families if they wanted to:
as i said in another thread, most of them started partaking the emblems after 1935. that's a clear sign that there's a corrosion of the "remnant" doctrine, because now most of the governing body are considered "replacements" of 'anointed ones who have fallen away'.
i finally found out the new gb members' ages.
