  by comforter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have decided to spend less time on this board because of its explicit content.

  i could take the time to wipe the floor with alanf who knows next to nothing about the papacy.

  but we have decided to spare poor alan this time.

  comforter,

  I think you are looking for some answers yourself. You are not required to read anything you do not choose to read. I would suggest you stay and be more selective in the threads you read.

  Admit doubts

  by Realist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  would a jw ever admit that s/he has doubts about the wt teachings?

  do they have the order to pretend they believe everything or could they discuss what bothers them?.

  i assume they have to pretend they think everything is dandy and the teachings logical when they speak with elders or other witnesses.

  Realist,

  I believed the propaganda of the WT. I thought everyone was just looking for ammunition to use against the Society, so I was not going to give them any. I also believed that the WT was really Jehovah's organization and He would make everything right, in time. But, I still had times when I just could not stand, not discussing problems, that I saw in the organization.

  I went to a Unitarian church today

  (wow, simon, did you steal microsoft word software or something?

  well, today i did something that in most years past i would have believed would have resulted in me being struck by lightning; i attended a religious service other than the jw's.

  this is the first time i've ever been to another religious service.

  Jewel,

  I don't think the Unitarians are Christian.

  Christians recognize that Jesus Christ is the only way, there are no if's and's or but's, no other way to salvation. I don't think Unitarians believe that.

  Realist,

  I didn't want to admit to myself that I had doubts. I usually just thought that I did not have enough knowledge to explain why I misunderstood things.

  I would never talk about doubts with a non-JW, I always defended the Society to outsiders.

  There were about two JWs, that I would sometimes talk to, about things I thought were wrong with the organization, one of them always made excuses for the organization no matter how rediculous it was. The other would discuss the problems reasonably.

  Comforter, you said:

  But if you think such threats are going to deter jws from doing what is right, you got another thing coming. God is on our side and we will prevail

  I don't think God is on anybody's side. I think it is up to each individual to decide to be on God's side, or not.

  as an ex presiding overseer and public affairs spokesperson who is now disfellowshipped!!!

  i am new to this site and have read with keen interest the many and varied topics that have been posted.

  during my 9 years of presiding i encountered certain corrupt c/os for example the friends would treat them like little demy gods, hanging onto their every word, they would, on their visit influence the brothers to part with cash for privledges.

  Hi Bonovox and welcome, You said:

  just want to get back in touch with people who love Jehovah but maybe not necessarily the org

  I think there are quite a few posting here who still love God, but, not the Watchtower Society. If that is what you are looking for, you should find it here.
