I had to order mine in from the US. I had already left and just wanted to make sure i wold never want to go back. The book is definately full of anti GB experiences. I still have not fully read it. Its pretty full on. To go back or not is in your own heart, not in this book. We were all part of the witness religion because we believed without question everything we were told and everything we were told to read.

I don't know why in God's world why anyone would want to return! I just don't understand! It's out my realms of comprehension. Unless they like lots and lots of long speeches and lots and lots of people wearing suits and ties! :) It's up to them, I guess. They must have been lucked out in Russian Roulette! :D

I know one Witness who got baptized AFTER they read Crisis Of Conscience.

lol. He must have had a severely edited version from the WTS. :D Either that, or he didn't read it in his native tongue! :) -

EPHATICALLY, YES!!! I am living proof, mate! :D You'll think the Society is too corrupt to attend... There is a guy on here who has the catholicexjw site, so he changed to that faith, but it's made me TO NEVER WANT TO ATTEND THE KINGDOM MALL (social club) or any other organized religion social club again!
*YOU'LL BE VERY SHOCKED WHEN YOU READ IT!
* You'll think Raymond is an angel of a bloke -- trust him with your life.
* You'll think the Governing Body are corrupt and unloving towards it's members.
* You'll (probably) think of never going back to any organized religion.
* You'll see how bad the the false dates of 1914, 25, and 75 are.
* You'll see they got rid of a nice bloke, Raymond Franz.
* You'll find that the J dubs are not a special group of people, they are just like any other religion but more strict than most.
ENJOY! It's one of the best books I've ever read in my whole life.
Oh! And one more thing: You'll find it very inspiring! -

WT filters and why people don't see what's right in front of them
by Lady Lee inmany of us find it hard to understand why we didn't see/read/understand what was right in front of us all along.
we get frustrated with those who are still in who can't see what we have discovered.. i think i just found a similar reaction.. i've been playing an on-line game called luxor.
i've been playing this for months now.

uninformed,
ts funny too, like the recent WT started quoting the 20's and 30's WT to prove a point, (subject escapes me), but if we quote the same issue of the WT in regard to a doctrinal or teaching error we are apostates. However, they are free to quote all the way back to 1879 if it furthers their purpose, but they shut down web sites that do just that.
___
Aren't they the apostate ones for quoting apostate material? THEY SHOULD THROW ALL THOSE MAGAZINES OUT SHOULDN'T THEY? Maybe sell them? They need the money! :D -

-independant thinking, urrggh this is a dangerous one. when i first heard it it hit me, 'thats what ive been doing i should just trust the org'.. now i see its real intent
__
So, independent thinking is ok when are preached to about JW's, but while we are in, we are not allowed to leave because if we did, we are ignoring the truth? Come on!
Why not go "ahead of the org?" You might teach them something new! Like Carl Jonsson did with that 1914 crap ("Oh you can't do that...")
What if I liked the old light? Maybe I prefer it. Old things increase in value like wine! :D -

Lady Lee,
Wow! That's great what you said. Yeah! We shouldn't be wondering why they can't see it when we can....
But I'll add to that, that some people like me wanted to find out what the f___ was wrong with the org. I was badly treated like many people. And there were too many straws on Inquirer's back. And I thought that's it! And I went and searched. I thought "I have this great tool called the Internet," let's give these evil heretics on www.jehovahs-witness.com a bit of chance. :) And then someone told me about Crisis of Conscience and told me he is an ex-JW, etc, etc...
So because I am an "Inquirer" and have a curious personality, I went to investigate what the f___ was wrong! :D
I think you have to be in that state of mind where you want to change and your mind can sense there is something awfully f______ wrong with this s_____ place. If you don't look, you won't know. Some people have more of those "warning signs" than others. I am well aware of it. And yes, I know some people are stuck with the borg because of family even if they know... But yeah. Well done Lady Lee.
One more thing on that, (not trying to be sexist) but I think maybe males are more likely to doubt and get sick of it, because religion is an emotional device women are more captive to this than men... but I am seeing a lot of women on here though! :) I still think this, even in this "women indepence" era. :)
We put smoke alarms in our house to warn of a fire, we need to do this with religion as well. :) -

I reckon the Gospel of Judas sucks. But don't think it's Satanic like my post count though! :D LOL
There is 3/4 missing. Been around since 1978 as I heard on the local radio station. Went on the gray market and got stolen and now it's only turned up recently like 5 years ago and it's taken that amount of time to translate it into English and Coptic.
It's only about 5-6 pages long and it's an offshot Gnostic group called the Cainites. It has a lot of that cosmology in it about Eons and different gods like yaldabaoth (sp?) And it's suppose to take the view that Judas actually help Jesus fulfill his prophecy. But if anyone read this would think Jesus was arrogant by his intimidating laugher and rude derogatory comments against his enemies.

On the news they make out it's something really special, but it's not too different to other weird "gospel" writings done by Gnostic heretics. :( -

My rotten JW weekend
by LtCmd.Lore inugh... yesterday (saturday) we did spring cleaning, in the rain!!!
we were outside for about 3 hours in the freezing rain, raking leaves and spreading mulch.
just so we could look good for the memorial... we weren't even allowed to go inside to warm up because the had already cleaned everything and we were soaked.

Sorry dude... LOL
Worldy people, like if there is a tennis match on... if it rains, they usually just close the roof and continue playing! :) Why work out in the rain? :D Could something be that urgent? lol Only council workers are forced to do that and they get paid for it so it's not so bad.
