Dogpath, thank you for posting!
It reminded me of one of the things that made me walk away from JWs. An elder told me, "Saying No to the elders is like saying No to Jehovah!"

we are trying to complete the names of those folks from bethel who are on the cover of the infamous 1984 watchtower.
some people who know you have the feeling you may know them.

Wow, I didnt know about this. Very good they have questioned ex-jws this time. Lets see how many years it will take until they come to a decision.
Thank for posting
does anyone know if they still make this work?.
*sorry for my bad english.... .
I remember a story being told, were an older brother was doing street work and a man passing by told him that he is a fool doing this work for free "your leaders dont go preaching!"
so the elderly brother says "yes they do!"
"How can you be sure about that?"
"I am the president" the brother turns out to be F. Franz
"people are theists or atheists for a variety of different reasons - good and bad, rational and irrational.
but when i took the time to talk to atheists, i realized that most of them were atheists because they wanted to believe in reality.
they cared about the truth and would rather believe the truth, however difficult, than a delusion, however easy.
you spent months,years or even decades as a christian.you sacrificed everything for god,gave him everything you had,you would speak every day for him to others and would live as a person dedicated to god.what did you receive in return after all your efforts?did he help you when you were in need?if yes,are you 100% sure that he was the one who helped you?could you feel his holy spirit in your life?.
p.s:this topic has nothing to do with the org.
i am talking exclusively about god and your relationship with him.
never ever.. even though I often made myself believe god listen, cared and helped
when I left the jw cult I felt lost, didn't know how things will continue. but as time passed I learned many new things. I needed to learn how to live with the new found freedom and the responsibility that goes along with it. as more time passed things got clearer. give yourself more time and things will fall into place.
happy new year
