At the time i was okay with it, i thought the whole thing was perfectly above board and completely honest. Now of course i know differently.

48Did you ever feel let down by the Bethel tour?
by maninthemiddle inreading jeff's thread about dress made me think of my one and only trip to bethel.. i can't remember if i was babtised at the time, but i went with a bus load of jws.. like someone said in the last thread, printing presses and empty rooms.
i was very disapointed, however i don't think i had any pre-concieved notions of what it would be like.
what i was diapointed in was so much of the "tour" was walking hallways looking at exhibits behind glass.

On a side note, i mentioned the British Museum and that i contacted a curator there and she said that although the website and the curator claim 586/7, that if i went to see the tablets myself that it'd prove otherwise. Obviously i don't believe that for a second.
ALSO regarding the Holy Spirit. In 1st Corinthians it says the gifts would cease when that which is perfect arrives, what does this mean? i said i felt it meant Jesus...

hey mary.
yes i'm engaging with an ex-jw's on another website, who still believes what they believe, and he dragged up the whole john 1:1 thing. i mentioned johannes greber, but he seems to think that regardless of who the society use to support it, their rendition is perfectly fine.

is there anything that can be used against their john 1:1 translation, in their own reference bible or other literature? (for example an acknowledgment that they added the 'a' before god, rather than it already being there? Maybe thats me being over-hopeful, but anything else that will help would be good.

Hey long time no see!!! I'm a JWD old timer lol
by Sirona ini used to post here...a lot!.
just thought i'd say hello to you all...you wonderful people who got out of the jw cult!
i have come to believe that we are an amazing bunch of people - we made our way despite all the odds and fought for individuality - and won.. even today i was told that going back to the hall would solve my problems (by a jw family member) and i honestly can say that i felt amusement.
