in another thread, honesty said:you did get switched at birth and we finally found you.

almost all of your real family (us) were switched at birth also so it was one helluva deal to get you back with us.

but we are happy we found you.

question for all

most of you are ex-dubs, so what if world events proved that the jw's were right.

for instance, governments turning on religion, matthew 24th chapt events really increasing at an alarming rate, enough to make you think: " maybe they were right?

" if that happened, and the wts left the "door on the ark", so to speak, open for a little while, would you go back to the wts?

I could never go back to an organisation who are the opposite of everything the profess to be.

I have never been happier since I took my life into my own hands.

ok, lets see if you guys know the answer to this simple question.. .

if you have a car with a mechanical speedometer and odometer, not digital, and if you back up, will your mileage on the dial back up?.

7 miles on the odometer and you back up, for a few hundred feet, will the mileage also back up slowly to 47,108.6 and so on....?.

what would you do if you knew someone had no respect for you and only associates with you coz they have to????

for months i couldnt understand why this particular person said things to me and acted a certain way to me and it only just hit me this weekend that this person actually just doesnt respect me, doesnt respect my feelings, my thoughts nothing.

and only associates with me coz she has to.

Hi Es

Try to rise above them. Be the better person and don't give them any justification for their feelings towards you. Being family you have to still acknowledge them but I wouldn't go wasting my time and energy trying to please them. And the more you try the more they are going to consider themselves above you.

Your a lovely girl, respect yourself and be confident. People will notice.

Miss Peaches.

Hi Guys

Wondering if you have any input on this one.

Now that you are no longer a JW what is your interpratation of the Lords Prayer where it says 'Let your will take place in heaven also upon earth'.

I would love to hear your opinions on this matter. As a christian the belief is that you are going to heaven right? So what is the relevance about the will taking place on earth?

Thanx - Miss Peaches.

Did it ever bother you that Watchtower never did charitible works?

by AK - Jeff in

i mean, for forty years believing the witness lie it always made me wonder.. judas was the keeper of the money box - and there are statements that indicated that the apostles thought that wasting money that could be used to aid the poor was sinful - so indications are that the earliest christians were doing charitible works.

of course there are many scriptural passages that encourage that activity among believers.

today all the organization ever does is pay lip service to charity.

misspeaches

That's a good question Jeff.

To be honest I believed that the org helped those affected by natural disasters. We used to get reports relayed to us that where a tornado had struck or an earthquake the JW's would always be first on the scene rebuilding homes for people donating food clothing etc. The slant was always given that this help was available to everyone. I used to be so proud to be part of an organisation that was their first.

Of course since then I have opened my eyes and realised this is all baloney. Yet another time the WTBTS has left me with a bitter taste....
