i know its been awhile since i've been around, so i just wanted to drop in and let you know whats been going on with me.

it's been a long hard road since leaving the wts back in 06. some amazing things have happened in such a short period of time.

for much of the time i was full of anger at the wts.

How I figured JWs were NOT the truth...
by cognac in
1. jw

i remember thinking growing up that i wasn't sure it was the true religion but because my family were so sure of themselves and so many people believed it that i loved and respected it had to of been the truth.. then, i reasoned that because we were the only ones who fulfilled the preaching work that there was no other way any other religion could be the true religion except us.

plus, we used jehovah's name and didn't take it out of the bible but the preaching work was really the main thing that kept me in.... i was always afraid to really study just the bible because i knew a ton of things might not be right.

otherwise, why would so many jws be afraid to run into a greek scholar out in field service.

this morning i was having breakfast with my wife and this discussion came up.

i remember that years ago the wts used to hint or say that the scriptures were written for the 144.000 / remnant.

the rest of us just kind of tagged along for the ride.

NARKISSOS need your input on Rev. 5:10
by IronClaw in
1. watchtower
2. bible
my wife just gave me notes that she took at this past memorial.

in her notes the speaker referring to the 144,000 and what they will be doing uses rev.5:10 as saying they will rule "over" the earth.

when reading this scripture in my tyndale bible it reads as "on" the earth.

Jehovahs Witnesses WHY do you now accept blood Transfusions?
by Witness 007 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
to any jehovahs witness reading this i ask....do you really "abstain from blood?

" the bible makes a clear statement at acts 15 doesn't it?

yet today hemophiliac jehovahs witnesses can use "worldly" blood for their clotting treatments which may use 10 bags per treatment.

12 ex-JWs at church yesterday...

as reported elsewhere on the forum, there were 12 ex-jws at our baptism service yesterday.

twelve.. it was quite an experience to hear about an ex-jw who had moved to another part of the country and had written down 150 names of jws in the area of glasgow she was originally from and had started praying for all those names last summer.

two of the people on her list were at the church yesterday, with their wives and children.

i was asked what i thought when i saw all the bad things going on in the world and about how close we are to the end.

i replied "jeff, i simply do not believe that it's going to happen in my life time.

" he was momentarily stunned and said "well, when have things ever been this bad before?
