11Where's God?
by Billzfan23 ini was baptised in a freewill baptist church about 15 years ago, and then i became a witness and was baptised about 11 years ago.
what my experience has taught me having delved deeply in both (served as a servant and later an elder in wts) is that i don't really believe that there is a god.
why won't he answer me?

Skeptical of the Apostates Motivation

witnesses.
he believes that many individuals leave the truth because it is hard; and they look for any miscue to escape the organization and their responsibility to god.

People may "leave" the organization for various reasons e.g. pressure to conform, injustice, molestation/abuse issues, humiliation from reproof/scandal etc. The list goes on......
However, I would say most of these people never really "leave" in the sense that they have not de-programmed themselves from the JW mindset. For one to truly "leave", the de-construction of their "pyramid" belief system must take place. Major doctrinal points must be examined against the Bible/logic/conscience/facts and then rejected as erroneous/unacceptable. It really is a major project, but only then can a person be on the way to true freedom from the Borg. Those (such as myself) who have always wanted the "truth", were shocked and shaken after finding out about the UN/NGO affair. This was enough to send a wake-up call to my brain. At that point, you either take the red pill or the blue one. "Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more."

To remedy this I suggest that hustler magazines be put in the KH bathrooms, that will get the attendance back to normal.
What you mean is, that will get the normal ones back to attend. BTW, what reading material are you recommending for the ladies room?

by compound complex indear mouthy and other denounced ones,.
you may find this double standard $%^@#@*&!
"in 1975, knorr made a remarkable and candid statement to the governing body, which confirmed his growing disillusionment until his death two years later: ["]'"there are some things i know --- i know that jehovah is god, that christ jesus is his son, that he gave his life as a ransom for us, that there is a resurrection.

As the illustrious Oscar Wilde stated, "Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived." And that's exactly what the "truth" has been for JW's since the days of Russell.
