I did call but was told to call back later after lunch and I never called back. I do have the # still and will call. I have done research on it myself already but I need to do it again to be certain.

It's all been done before...the newbies got me thinking...

this isn't a negative observation at all, but i've noticed with all the new people here, there are a lot of things i remember being said before being said again.

some of the things i assumed when i first came here, many are doing again...and it's very interesting to watch.

i guess the human race is very cyclical.

DefD is a current JW poster. He has mellowed considerably since he's been here,

I have to admit he is right. I did come here with an attitude. I already admitted I HAVE learned something from here. Not that I am not in the truth, but I have MANY things to work on. Some is compassion, patience and understanding. All at the same time, not tolerating BLATENT rivalry against Jehovah God and Jesus. So YOU all have taught me SOMETHING thanks.

my sisters came home yesterday and said someone was following them home from school, they got very scared and ran the rest of the way home.

they also told me that these two men had also followed one of their friends home a few days ago.

should i call the school and report it or should i call the police station?

defd

no you are not overreacting. The bible sys in the last days people will ADVANCE from bad to WORSE. Keep an eye out for her!

Imposters??

by searching4? in

i have only been here a couple of weeks, and while i find most of you to be kindhearted, understanding and supportive, i can't help but get the feeling that there are some of us who are not who they say they are.

i'm not trying to be presumptuous, but do you think some people pretend to be x-witnesses just to mess with us?

defd

Seriously, yeah, it's inevitable. Some people probably pretend to be JW's, and some JW's prolly pretend to be ex's.

There's even a group in Brooklyn that pretend to be God's representatives on earth, but 99.9% of the earth thinks their nuts.

Low blow dave, low blow.

in another thread i started someone askedi still believe in jehovah, but now, i'm having doubts about his name???

is jehovah really god's name?

if he wanted his name to be known, he's all-powerful, omnipotent... i know that he has the power to make sure that his name is used correctly.

defd

YES!

Where is their Scriptural proof?

by Honesty in

that people who discover the jehovah's witnesses and their watchtower bible and tract society are not nor ever have been approved by god to 'speak' for him and then leave the group are not going to be resurrected?

according to the bible everyone who has ever lived experiences a resurrection, so where does the wt 'no resurrection' teaching originate other than in the demented minds of the wt hierarchy?

defd

Nowhat I couldnt have said it better myself.

Some
;Not ;Resurrected. While it is true that Christ’s ransom sacrifice was given for mankind in general, Jesus indicated that its actual application nevertheless would be limited when he said: "Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many." (Mt 20:28) Jehovah God has the right to refuse to accept a ransom for anyone he deems unworthy. Christ’s ransom covers the sins an individual has because of being a child of sinful Adam, but a person can add to that by his own deliberate, willful course of sin, and he can thus die for such sin that is beyond coverage by the ransom.

hey everyone i know its been a while since i posted but today i felt the need.just wanted to update you all on my position which is still brainwashed!i just dont know what to do i gain my strength to conquer this disease,(thats what i call being born in the org) from others like freedom lover who have come out of this religon free and clear i know its not easy but i know it can be done.i dont know why i just cant get over it and move on already,but theres thats piece of me that says,but what if?then im back, screwed and tatooed with jdub on my forehead,thinking that jehovah is upset and dissapointed with me and satan has me in his grasp.im stil sooo confused even with all the evidence pointing to they are full of crap!what if they arent?i just want to know the truth even if i dont choose to follow it,i want to know if jehovah is watching me torment myself every day,going back and forth and i cant take it anymore.then i think what if there is no jehovah?who the hell am i praying to with my daughter at night?

(the air mabe)you see my daughter still believes even though she is ready to celebrate halloween this year and yes we bought her a costume,cinderella!my mother comes and takes her every now and then only if i promise to go to some meetings and i did last weekend i attended the sunday meeting for once in a about 6 months!felt strange to be there but once again going to a different cong i got love bombed.btw i feel guilty and scared about having anything to do with halloween this year.yup still dealing with the guilt,fear,agony,of knowing and believing in the dubs,for so long now trying desperately to get out without feeling the way i do.i just dont know what to do anymore and its a shame because the dubs have sucked the life out of me(guess i didnt check my doubts soon enough).if i dont get off the fence soon im going to go nuts.i like believeing that satan doesnt even exist and that there is no heavenly org.gives me peace of mind that i can just live my life,if theres a god,fine,is it jehovah?thats where the conflict arises and i cant just go on with my life thinking jehovah has lost me to the other side!

!im not a lost cause yet guys.i need new light!

defd

STILL BRAINWASHED! We ALL could use a good brain WASHING now and then.

Jehovah is watching me torment myself every day,going back and forth and i cant take it anymore. Sis Jehovah KNOWS your pain. He feels for you, believe me. Jehovah is more patient and understanding than we know. Just CONTINUE to take your concerns to Him. It is written....Throw all your burdens and anxiety upon Jehovah and he will sustain you, because He CARES for you.
