  yesterday was my 15th year anniversary of being baptized.

  may 11, 1991. i'm not sure it counts anymore since i was df'd last feb. 3, 2005, but still, it is a remarkable period of time to pass by and reflect on what changes have occurred.. i was 18 years old.

  the "internet" was barely a blip.

  I was baptised on November 11th 1989 at Hayesbridge assembly hall, Surrey, England, UK. I even had an interview on the platform to tell everyone about the thousands of pounds worth of 'demonic' stuff I destoried so I could make steps tor progess in the Truth and towards baptism. I sat along side another 3. One more brother and two sisters and the elder sat down and interviewed us. We had to pratice the week before in the 'second school' room area at the KH

  Disgusting.....this man should get life and be castrated.

  But I am afraid that Dr. Jekylll is right...The WTS will claim he was not a baptised JW due the fact that he worked in a Catholic School. At the very least they might just say he was just studying or had an interest but was not a JW.

  When I was at school we were taught not to approach any stranger...especially those that gave promises of aweets or small toys. We even had vidoes on such subjects...even tv adverts in the 1970's...I am sure there was a 'Charlie the Cat' advert about it. with the the lines "meow meow meow meow" "Charlie says never talk to strangers"

  The 'Be the Scream' is a great idea.

  I brought a really nice copy of the Qur'an (Koran) from a shop in Southall, London a few years back. It was in Arabic with English text

  But I will tell you who do a nice translation...'Penguin Books' Ok it may be from a more mainstream source but it is very good English translation. It is part of their 'Classics' section if I remember. You can buy it in most book shops, and if they do not have a copy...order one...you will have it in a few days.

  How a JW was instrumental in deconverting me from Mormonism

  by Noggin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i used to be able to state, with clear emphasis... and a straight face, that i knew the mormon church was god's only true church on the face of the earth.

  i used to be made up of a highly

  polarized mormon mind set

  The whole WTBTS is a lie...isn't it?

  I have had JW's lie to me...I have known JW's to lie about someone else which caused a lot of serious problems and even being wrongly DF'd for other JW's lies.

  Hell...even I lied as a JW....But I never lied to cause trouble and get people hurt. It was lies...Like "I did not go to the meeting because I was not feeling well" eventually I told the truth and just said "I no longer want to go the meetings"

  It really is a good idea that you look more deeply into the WTS. I was baptised in 1989 and really believed it was 'The Truth' But these last few years and especially the last few months since August / September 2005 I have learnt a lot about the WTS that at first shocked me.

  The strange thing is when we are studying we are told to question what we believe...but when we question our believes when we are baptised JW's that seems wrong?

  Please don't learn the hard way. By all means come to this forum and ask questions but think twice before making any commitment to thw WTBTS. I remember once asking an elder if

  The Flood really did happen? I ask has there is no geological proof that such a thing did happen. And also isn't it possible it was just a Jewish version of an older Persian story of a great flood?

  I was shot down in flames for asking such a question being told I lacked faith and was spiritually sick. Blimey! I was glad I did not ask a question about the WTS. I am sure his very look would have killed me dead on the spot there and then.

  Watchtower Predictions

  by zgborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a vivid recollection of going to people's doors as a teenager and telling them that bible chronology indicates that 6000 years of human history is due to expire in the fall of 1975 and we can fully expect a radical change in the world at about that time.

  while i know that this was not the first watchtower prediction which proved to be incorrect, what i would like to know is, has any watchtower prediction of a future event come to pass?

  Mmmmm! did the Watchtower actually say 1975 would be the year Armageddon would happen? I have sen back issuse of the Watchtower from that year and a couple of years before I did not see anything about a set date. Yes they said that:

  Bible chronology indicates that 6000 years of human history is due to expire in the fall of 1975

  But I do not actually believe they said 1975 would be the date...I think a few brothers and sisters jumped the gun...so to speak.

  The thing is, no one is really sure how long the creative period was. I believe the Hebrew word translated 'day' just means a 'period of time'...so 1 day could just as easily mean 1,000,000 years. Plus we must not forget that the last creative act was that of Eve being created from Adams rib. We do not know how long Adam was alone until Eve came into the existence.

  According to Genesis 5:5 Adam died at the age of 930 years old. But we do not know how old Eve was when she died.
