blindersoff,
i think you hit the nail on the head. it's hard to leave one religion if there is nothing (in my mind)better to go to. Some of the other churches that I've gone to (before the JWs) have left me very disappointed, so leaving the witnesses isn't an option right now. I haven't been baptized yet and probably won't, but i'll still go to the meetings and do some informal witnessing. People just tend to stay with what they know until something better comes along.

I've Got a Christmas Present Given by Pastor Russell
by Seeker4 ini've got a really good collection of wts literature that i've been working on since the 1960s.
one book i have is a copy of poems of the dawn, copyright 1912, leatherbound.. it's inscribed thus: "eleanor a. shires - a gift from pastor russell - xmas 1911".
the cover is in rough shape, but the pages are perfect.

I got a visit this morning
by Crumpet infor the first time in 4 or 5 years i got a visit by the jws this morning.
i wasnt prepared at all and so handled it not so well.
bear in mind the leaflet on display just made me feel physically ill.. the woman asked if i was interested in finding out god's purpose for the future.

by booker-t inwe are fast approaching the year 2014 which will be 100 years since 1914. what are jw's and the wt going to do if armaggeddon has not occurred by then?
will they come up with a bunch of "new light" to do away with 1914 all together?
will they suddenly announce that jesus came into kingdom power in the year 2014?

first of all, these posts were made to satanus, not you. if you had read my full post, your would have deduced that. Furthermore, you don't know everyone on this board and neither do I. I was commenting on the content of a particular post,not the poster specifically. You are entitled to your opinion as am I. So if I choose to be "closed minded" about not reading other uninspired books and read only the bible, then forgive me. I am glad you believe in the great creator, however it seems that satanus does not and that was what I was eluding to

JWD Milestone coming close
by Lady Lee ini have been watching the page counts for the last 2 months.. jwd is close to have 5000 pages of posts.
as of this post we are still 11 pages away from the 5000 mark (4989).
i bet simon never expected this to grow the way it has or become the wonderful resource and gathering place of so many who need the support and understanding of those who need it.. from active jws to ex-jws to doubting jws to ubms of jws and even the curious as well as the odd student wanting to write a paper jwd has been a great place to learn, get and give support and connect with others.

so you want me to listen to someone who calls themselves satanus. Why don't you think outside of the box. this is about religion and believing in God, not any kind of devil worship. what are you advocating here? Satanic worship? Sounds like a good excuse to me for you to do whatever you want without any guilt or conscience. You should be glad that there is no hell.

What I see here is a bunch of hurt people who have not only turned away from the witnesses but also from God. Just because you don't believe in the JWs beliefs does not mean that the bible is a load of crap. I find this blasphemous and disgusting. The JWs are one extreme and you are at the other end. Give me a break and quit your crying about the JWs are wrong...blah...blah...blah. Noone should turn their back on JEHOVAH just because of one group.!

ok, no one has explained the significance of 2014. are the jws saying that this year is significant or what. I have to hear one thing about 100 years from the 1914 date. so please explain why that year(2014)has any meaning.
