  BEFORE YOU LEFT......

  another question.. this one is for all those that began doubting the organisation when they were an obedient jw.. although i am sure you rarely shared it with anyone, what was the one problem you had with a certain jw only doctrine?.

  what i mean is, what little gremlins lurked at the back of your mind?

  what were the doubts that you kept hidden and what made you finally act on them?.

  Hi in_between_days,

  I had some problems with teachings as I was growing up, but serious doubts started when I was much older. I started reading the bible every day, I was determined to be a much better witness. I could not find scriptural answers to support 1914, or 144,000, or 1935 being a date Jehovah closed the door on heaven.

  Later I heard about Ray Franz's book telling about the inner workings of the governing body. I was told we were not to read the book, but I thought to myself, the whole world can read about what goes on in OUR governing body, but WE, who are in the organization, cannot. So I ordered the book and read it.

  After reading the book I could not accept the differences in the way the WT dealt with Malawi and Mexico. Also, I could not accept, that the witnesses in Mexico, had to pretend to be a cultural group, to keep WT property, instead of being a religious group as we were, in the US. Then many doubts started, as I researched more and more.

  dear bill,.

  i congratulate you on your stand against tyranny.

  as you have noticed some on this board will bring up peripheral issues that have more to do with them than with you, stay the course my friend.

  Psychdigg,

  You claim:

  As you can see by the tally of people that click onto this subject - Not too many people are interested in your idolatrous slurpings.

  I believe many are like me. I totally agree with Bill and the others but I do not always have something to add to the topic, so I do not always post. You should not read too much into the lack of posts.

  We are here! And we're not gonna take it anymore!

  Imbue,

  I wouldn't argue with what you said. The first person I ever heard use the reasoning from 1 Cor. was a Circuit Overseer. Then it was permissable for the Elders etc. to use it, but, it was never a definate assurance that the unbelieving mate would be "saved", only that by the believing mates efforts at being loyal to "Jehovah's Organization", the unbelieving one "might" be saved "who knows"

  the answer to that age old question:.

  when you are looking for something, why is it always in the last place you look?.

  well, if you think about it, it's pretty obvious:.

  CheGuevara,

  I know you have been deactivated, but I know you will probably still read the forum. I can see where a JW would make the argument you did, about bad association, but, after leaving the WT org., I firmly decided that the truth can and will stand any test.

  I do not believe JWs coming to this board, are somehow, going to turn evil, just by reading and commenting on topics. If the WT teachings are so fragile, that they will not withstand this forum, then the WT is really in deep trouble, I believe they are.

  Che Guevara, You Said:

  This forum would qualify as a dangerous sites for JWs.

  My question is, can you explain why?

  I am rushing to get to work, but I will check back asap.

  For all of you JWs, I am glad you are open minded enough to be here.
