I must agree with you...the Isaiah stuff bored the crap out of me. But it was also because it all centred around prophesies of condemnation. There was always a gloomy feeling inside me after sitting through that! Truly Horrible!!!

Crisis of Conscience
by Kristofer ini just finished reading this book.
i've got to say, that last chapter was amazing and so inspiring.
i haven't felt that good after reading a book in a long time.

Currently reading CoC, only 20% through it at the moment but its blowing me away. If anyone could be in the faith after reading this, and i haven't finished it, then they must have a very strange viewpoint of what 'truth' really is. Big respect to Freddie!!

Please help me. Advice re. children
by jambon1 ini have been out for a few months & have been doing the supportive role for my wife who still goes to most meetings and is taking the lead with our 2 kids.
the supportive role has cushioned the mental anguish for my wife and i would not have wanted to be frank about my disbelief in god & the wts, it would have put a tremendous strain on our relationship.
at the moment she is hoping i will come back.

Hello jambon1
Sounds like a divided household to me! I have 3 boys, 18yrs,16 and 14 all brought up in the faith until 2 years ago and now none of us go. Josh my eldest wanted to go to Bethel and do the full-time service thang. He believed that right up until 15 or 16, but not now!!!! By the way there's no such thing as a 'liberal JW' as far as i see it, otherwise you end up living a lie. 'Do it properly or don't do it at all' was always my maxim....that's why i failed and i now lead a much more 'truthful' life. Listen my troubled friend, your kids are only very young and have a few more years before they get too impressed upon by the JWs, so for now just love them and your wife. Make your stand firmer than concrete and when your babies are old enough to reason and ask you serious and deep questions...that's when you tell them your views in a more forceful way. Chip away at your wife as well because if she's only 'liberal', she won't last long. One more thing!! Buy 'Crisis of Conscience' By Fred Franz, formerly of the Governing Body (get it from Amazon) read it, be totally blown away and leave it on the coffee table for her to read, seriously.
Peace to you

Grow up and stop pissing around. Be a man and get out of the organisation, stop wasting your time and do something with your life. I'm sorry mate but in spite of all these people welcoming you back and saying 'hi' i REALLY DON'T see the point of what you're doing here. You're living a lie, just like the WTS...and thus no better than them.

What Things Were You Deprived Of Because You Were A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ini think back at some of the simpler things we couldn't do or have because we were a witness.
i hardly know my father's (worldly) side of the family.
didn't know my grandfather, grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins.

Hey Minimus
Deprived of having a proper relationship with my friends that i grew up with before joining the JWs. I dropped them, as you're supposed to. My most important friend is still around, but....i wonder how many of us lost dear friends because we were too pigheaded and fanatical to see their true worth. Just a thought.
Peace to ya
