  Over 160,000 Simply Left The "Truth" Last Year

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that was the comment that a former elder made at the local meeting today in his comment.

  evidently, he and his wife heard a bethel speaker's comment during his talk say that (i believe the figure was) 167,000 people did not get disfellowshipped but simply left.

  the ex-elder made it a point to say that the elders should be watching to help out the flock before they up and leave.

  Why did the WTBTS not sue Ray Franz?

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if ray franz had been lying in anything he said in both of his books, c of c and in search of christian freedom, surely the wtbts would have sued him.

  why did they take no legal action against him?.

  could it be that this legalistic corportion realised he had lied about nothing?

  Is your heart bigger since you left?

  by Ingenuous in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was amazed how, in a matter of days after leaving the org, my heart seemed bigger.

  i was free to love people - truly love them as they were and without condition.

  i was no longer required to sit in judgement of them because they didn't believe as i did.
