defd, I asked yesterday but it seems to have gotten lost in the welcome ... you said that you could know Jehovah AT FIRST, but it would bring you to the WTBS, and so I asked, What if it didn't? Would you just stop having a relationship with Jehovah without the organization? and to follow that up....why? Today I asked if you could show where in the bible it says anything about the WTBS? In all the times I've gone through the bible I've never seen the WTBS mentioned, nor have I seen anything that remotely resembles the statement that it's foretold in the bible that there will be those who hate the WTBS, so I am curious as to how I could have missed it.

Forgiveness, How Far Do You Take It?
by prophecor inhas it ever happened to you, something so dispicable you would rather go to your grave, not having forgiven someone a wrong they had done you, hopeful that god would sort it out in the end?
mind you, i know things like child molestation, rape and murder are things for which it is difficult, if not impossible, to be forgiving of.
that being said, where does one draw the line on forgiveness?

While I am able to forgive most things,(although like others have said, I WON'T forget) there are some things that I just don't have the power within me to forgive. I'll leave my fate in the hands of my creator, knowing that he will understand why I feel the way I do, and accept that I'm just human, and fallible like everyone else.

but eventually you will be led there because that is Gods organization on earth
What if you aren't led there, do you just suddenly stop having a relationship with Jehovah?

if you disassociated your self i would talk to you but mainly to encourage you to come back to Jehovah. i would do my best to help you in any way i could.
Do you believe that someone can have a relationship with Jehovah without the WTBS?
..and for the record, I'm not nor have I ever been a JW.
Opps..forgot to say welcome -

Just my thoughts on the matter, but no "version" of the bible is perfect, because they were all written by man for mankind, and we are all well aware that man is not perfect, and will always be fallible. It's the spirit of the bible that is what is important, it should not be used as a word for word guide on what to do, more like a guideline to be followed to help.

Is there a name for this kind of JW tactic?
by ithinkisee inis there an actual psychological term or whatever for this kind of jw tactic?.
the tactic is where they head the opposing arguments off at the pass, like when a new person studies and they get to the point where they want to make a stand for "the truth".
the person studying with them will tell them to "expect opposition from your family, this is satan trying to get at you because now you have found the truth and he's mad.".

Conditioned Response? You are conditioned to expect a specific response, and when it happens it simply reaffirms what you have been told. I've looked it up and that is the closest thing I can come up with.

Losing friendships can be sooo hurtful.
I have to agree with this. I've "lost" a jw friend, whom I cared for very much, and it's been painful to get past but the more I learn about the organization, the less surprised I am as to the why's, and more saddened by the loss of such a wonderful person from my life.
