I came here thinking it was a forum for JW's...Look at the name of this forum and you will see why I though that.
I did a lot worse things in my life than coming to this forum...and the elders, the congregation etc, still encouraged me, supported me and showed great love and concern towards me. If you read what I wrote, you would have seen these words:
"The love among JW's is unconditional, I can tell you that from my own personal experience."
I did some really bad things when I was still claiming to be a JW, I eventually left The Truth. But even when I was out of the Truth and going round saying nasty things about JW's and just being an out an out nasty bloke, Witnesses that I knew would still come up to me and encourage me. A few things made me realise that....with all their imperfections and mistakes that have been made over the past the WTS really is The Truth, and I spoke to a couple of Elders...they did not shun me or refuse to talk to me, they showerd compassion and concern and unconditional love.
Anyway, after looking at the posts in this forum, I can see that the majority here have become apostates, have twisted the facts and lied about the WTS. I have evebn read that some of you are DF'd. I cannot 'socialise' with the likes of that. Yes, we has JW's shun apostates and those that hate Jehovah and Yes, we shun anything that can harm our spirituality.
People here base their hated towards the whole of the WTS on the actions of imperfect man. Jehovah has always used imperfect man to look after his people and his earthly organisation and has they are imperfect they make mistakes or they even do something that is not right in the eyes of Jehovah. There are many examples in the Bible and also in modern days. But it is The Truth.
So now I have said that...I will say goodbye.
