  i want to practice a thechnique that was shared with me today about opening the eyes/minds/hearts of jws.

  i need someone to argue the way a jw would about the following question and i will reply and so on until the end.

  So, you have been feeding me falsehoods? I was told that I would get "Eternal Life". I have been reading the Bible on my own and there are many time Jesus tells me I have "Eternal Life" but you tell me no. Is this real?I have done all you have asked of me, I have spread the word of the WTS and preached Jehovah's name and still it is not enough. You can't even tell me that if continue to live by the moral standards instilled in me by the Bible I will be given "Eternal Life"?
  
  Can you at least prove to me that it is a possibility? Have you seen miracles done by the WTS on behalf of Jehovah? Have any sick been cured or wounded healed. Have you fed the poor or cared for the elderly? Have you housed the orphans or protected the innocent? I am sorry but I don't think I can continue this way anymore. There is no Love here.

  Loved the excerpt of your story. Sounds pretty interesting. As for JW only wites. I give up. Nothing is even really said on them. I looked in on a few and it seemed to further confirm the idea that they really don't think. It was sad. Oh well, one day I hope they accidently search ggogle and stumble upon the wealth of information that is out there about their own society. God willing.

  the obvious two would be coc and isocf.

  are there any others that had an impact on your beliefs/doubts?

  are there any that are not apostate?

  I know those are the only sanctioned sites. I am looking for some that are not directly in violation of the WTS. Something a JW would justify to himself that is was okay to look at.

  Any idea when? Would it be on a Sunday? I hope that is the last straw for a lot of people. If they still had a President it would almost seem like a dictatorship. I thank God everyday I am and never have been a JW, I only wish there were about 4.5 million people that could say the same.

  Is that going into KHs nationally? I have never been a JW so I am not sure how that works.

  That brings up a good point. Anyone know of a good pro-JW site? I was under the impression there really aren't any.

  Another question. What do you believe now based upon the book that changed your perspective? What faith do you have if any? finally, kind of a dumb question but on a scale of 1-10 how important was that book to your leaving the WTS.
