Hi Truehart, welcome to the board!

I think the major reason people stick around and criticize the society is 1. We are honestly trying to help people who have serious doubts and 2. We are amonst people who understand. It is demonstratably a cult that hurt's people, and a LOT of us here still have our families still in that will not talk to us.

You're My Reason For Why I Am

i would like for it to be known that my being apart of jwd has been an experience that has given me hope.

i've come to enjoy being a part of the online community, so much so that it's what i look forward to when my day involves something other than being here.

the only thing better than being here would be to experience being with you all, face to face.

Believe in 607 BCE or you are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses

by VM44 in

if a jw states that 607 bce is incorrect, how long will it take before the elders announce from the platform to the congregation that the person is "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses"?

i just wanted to say hello to everyone.

i'm an inactive, spiritually weak witness of not so good standing who stumbled on here the other day while trying to find out what tomorrows big announcement was going to be, after being told my mother that i might wanna go to the hall on sunday to find out.

it's cool seeing so many people who have shared some of the same experiences i have in the past.

yesterday,i get a buzz from the doorbell,well i wasn't expecting anyone,niether was my roomate.well geuss who,2 elders i don't even know.they tried to introduce themselves and act all friendly.i said"i don't want to talk to you abot anything,before i could finish my statement,he tried to butt in and say something,i cut him off and said"listen,i don't want to talk to you about anything at all",in a firm tone.and shut my door.. i believe they have gotten wind of my activities in giving my family the truth about the truth.i believe they wanted to draw me into a trap so they could df me,i gave them no satisfaction.i know for a fact other my younger sisters friends know i can't stand the religion,and it has gotten back to the big bad elders.i could give a shit!they can't fool me anymore.again,this site has been a godsent,no pun intended.thanks to all my friends out in cyberspace,youve all hel[ped me out.. i also unloaded on my older ,depressed sister about the truth about the truth,she was not sure how to react,but i had to speak my peace.i can no longer pretend to co0ndone or keep silent,she has a young daughter,i had to at least warn her.and when i say unload,i mean unlo(ad!!

!i got into the jdubs history,lies ,changing doctrine,mental abuse,beth sarim,thier monitary holdings,thier guilt and scare tactics,thier exploitation of children,and ovwerall craziness that is the wtbts.i also kept calling it "the publishing company from brooklyn.

"i topld her i have no belief in that religion,and that i'm here for her if she needs help dealing with this.i don't know if it did harm or good,but she i feel it needed to be done.. .

stopthepain - you're story sounds a lot like my own dude. I really resent the WTBTS for what its doing to my family. I'm trying to get my little brother out of it altogether but its tough. I've given up on my dad. Great to have you around on the board man.
