well yeah - I get it....
Jesus is on that cross for us dying a horrible death for US....not something to take lightly nor to poke fun at. IMHO.

THE MOTIVES OF GOOD JWS WHO POST ON THIS SITE
by steve2 inwhile i think it's perfectly okay, i do wonder what motivates jws to post here and especially to also express views critical of ex-jws.
is it the freudian notion of "projection": the jw who denounces something in others that he or she is also guilty of?
hence, if a jw clearly denounces an apostate's faults, it must mean the jw is really against apostasy when it might be something he or she struggles with.

you may want to study Jewish/Hebrew history mouthy.
yeh-ho-vaw'
From Strongs dictionary- (the) self Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the Lord.
When capital LORD God is written in Gen etc it was the above name. God revealed this through Moses - and not before.
Here is a name given to the Creator which we have not yet met with(Prior to Gen 3), and that is Jehovah - the LORD, in capital letters, which are constantly used in our English translation to intimate that in the original it is Jehovah. All along, in the first chapter, he was called Elohim - a God of power; but now Jehovah Elohim - a God of power and perfection, a finishing God. As we find him known by his name Jehovah when he appeared to perform what he had promised (exo 6:3)
, so now we have him known by that name, when he had perfected what he had begun. Jehovah is that great and incommunicable name of God which denotes his having his being of himself, and his giving being to all things; fitly therefore is he called by that name now that heaven and earth are finished. (Matt Henry's comentary.)Hebrew bible scholars agree.

Your anger has clouded your judgement and perception.....I am not judging people but making observation of the people who have attacked me and my free thinking mind.put a cloud over your claim to be doing a tertiary level course in counselling.
Soooo would you like a phone number to confirm??? Wow I have not encountered so much suspicion since leaving the Dubs - I think you are more like them than you know....just at the opposite corner. My point is that anger unresolved is a very bad thing - anger should not go on for years and fed to escalate. I shant be posting or reading in here any more - you are tooooooo angry and aggressive and many of you need help...not a forum where you can nurture your unresolved anger and issues. Wow - I think Id rather be back in the Dubs!!!

wow - you guys really are normal here...
For a minute there I was worried...LOL
It just goes to show that there is no REAL NORMAL - it is based on our own experiences and perception. Its like most people say - "Im the most normal person I know"
Normal is weird....
Hey I thought I was crazy cause I was a dub for 35 years....

Hi mouthy - how is it that from a few posts you can tell that I am a "baby Christian"??I do say how it is and I think thats why a few on here have taken to me so aggressively.
There is one goal in my life and one alone - and that is to be a true follower of Jesus and a servant of the one true God Jehovah - made up of the Father - the Son and the Holly Spirit. I know that the most important thing is to LOVE - the whole law hangs on that.
I see a lot of hypocrisy on here - on one side people are saying how bad the JW's are and I do not totally disagree - but to do the same your self is not justifiable....I see many critical of dubs not obeying verses like Heb 10:24-25 but then they themselves do not either....I think people need to get there life in order and learn what it is to be a Christian before pointing the finger and accusing another of being a "baby Christian" after a couple of posts. I left the milk long ago mouthy - maybe its the meat that YOU detest?

Hi all - Im new here and started posting yesterday....but i must say I am taken aback a bit by the tone of so many on this site - its frightful
I heard a comment above about a pro-JW site that you have to watch what you say or your under suspicion....well news flash - so is this site. I am a free thinker (thats why I finally left the JW's) and I came on here reading and ended up last night (my time) questioning the practice of pickets and rallies - but I got shot down and accused of still being a JW....I mean - what the??? Talk about hypocritical.
Im only 2 years out of JW's and still sometimes struggle with it - like have I done the right thing yada yada. I now belong to a good Christian Charismatic Church - but I do know for sure that if I was a current JW visiting or posting here, I would be convinced without a doubt that I had the truth and many people on here have lost the plot and have unresolved "anger issues".
I am currently studying my BA in Christian Counselling here in Australia - but it certainly doesn't take a scholar to recognise that there are many here that should seek help and some counselling.

remember apostates holding signs outside the convention?
by in a new york bethel minute ini remember there was one that used to go to my hall.
he would say hi to my dad and my dad would ignore him.
i know now that my father feels bad for that, but at the same time he had no choice.

No, Jesus probably wouldn't have picketed against anything...but he did came right into the temple and to trash the merchants out. Should we do that also?
Well Jesus is God - He had the authority....we do not.Our duty is to take Gods side....there is only 2 sides.
We are either for God or against Him. If the Jdubs are soooo demonic why focus all of your attention on them? The Devil wants worship or at least it away from God Himself. By people putting so much attention and effort into pickets etc - are they not focussing attention on the demonic dubs and not God Himself.
If Satan cant get your worship he will distract it.....either way he takes it away form God.
