not exactly working out for you guys.
I have to give SFPW credit.
It takes guts to come on this board spouting the Watchtower's BS knowing that 99.9% of the posters have actual rubber on the asphalt experience with the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses and have lost their families to it just because they figured out the scam and wanted no part of it.
He's a ballsy little troll.
i know that this has been discussed in the past but i wanted to get some fresh opinions.
there are many out there that recognize the "rot" that is in watchtower but still feel that there is a "wholesome" side to it and are trying to bring about change or reform from within.. in 2002 when the rose colored glasses came off for me and i truly started to understand ttatt, i still felt that there was some redemable aspects of the organization.. i felt that russell had some doctrinal things right.
i don't feel like that anymore.

That's nothing.
The society wrote a book inspired by a demon god and called it the bible.
A couple of weeks ago they released a new, improved version of that book.
It was also inspired by a demon god and they still call it a bible.
"it is appreciated that these documents do not reflect the current understanding of the bible enjoyed by jehovah's witnesses, and for up-to-date information the reader is encouraged to visit the official site of the watchtower bible and tract society.".

Most JW's will consider it an apostate website.
I showed a bonafide first edition (1921) 'Harp of God' book to a JW elders a couple of years ago.
He called it an apostate copy and also called me an apostate.
Most JW's DO NOT WANT THE TRUTH.
They are happy right where they are.

SBF has DF'd JWN.
after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
Good luck, SBF!!!
Tell the false prophet Governing Body that I love them even though they hate me.
i have been a "publisher" for 40 years.
even though i never actually printed a book or magazine.
i just cant find the term anywhere in the bible.. am i missing something?.
It's on page 666 in the Jehovah's Witnesses Unabridged Dictionary of Common Theocratic Words.
can't you just feel the love of the org.. .

I got pruned once and messed my britches for a whole week.
i found a copy of this book in my childs room at my home.
i am not a jw but their other parent is.. .
should i be concerned.
Per my custody order I also have the right to access any religious and medical records for my minor child but that hasn't fazed the JW I was married to at one time. I haven't had any contact with my child for over 5 years, don't know if the JW has managed to coerce my child into getting baptized in the satanic cult of Jehovah's Witnesses.
I would be more than very concerned if I were you.
when you're part of a lovely big group of people who all seem to be happy in their beliefs, it's easier to quell your own doubts.
if i was the only person left in the congregation who still went on the door to door work, because every body else had stopped going , having said out loud what most think, ''it's a waste of time'', how long do you think before i too would cease going door to door?.
i know from my own perspective that having lots of fellow witnesses around me, steered me into making life changing decisions.
The ones who left just didn't have enough love for Jehovah or they would have stayed.

That's what would be on the minds and lips of the robodubs.
They have been programmed to view anyone who leaves doesn't have enough love in their hearts for God.
