  ok so i am a ex-witness,(disfellowshiped) i have posted here before...but i must say why have'nt we moved on?

  come on i mean if we all really thought that the jw sect was just that then why are we not trying to forget it and let life go on as it has; and try to be true to ourselves and our neighbor and read jesus words as recorded in the bible?

  i have been reading my bible on lunch breaks at my work, as well as reading in the dhammapada.

I have been reading my Bible on lunch breaks at my work, as well as reading in the Dhammapada. I find that the words of the Budha are quiet wise. Can't we just seek God and/or "truth" and let go of the watchtower? After all the more thinking about "it" (the watchtower) and talk about it the more we make it the very thing that it wants to be. A powerfull influence in our lives! If you in your heart of hearts truly feel that there is no truth in the Jehovah's Witness organization, then by all means...MOVE ON! P.S. However if that is not so then find out more about it and follow it, if you want. Core88

  i know the pat answer is "grieving the holy spirit" but how does one do that?

  i asked some elders who were attempting to meet with me but they seemed unsure... .

  Mkr32208, um you might want to stop lieing about all the fucked up stuff you claim to have done. It seems easy for me to see but if you were'nt being "tongue and cheek" about all the events you said that have happened, and actually told the truth, to the elders. You would be disfellowshiped right now and not be in the limbo type "hell" you desribe, then you would have relief from the problem you seem to have. Core88

  "In my family, I believe the unforgivable sin to be....Baptism. My sister and brothers did the same things I did, but because they weren't baptized, my parents still talk to them." Good point Lisa!

  I make the same hourly wage as I did before bush took office...many families I know have been through allot of changes in the past few years and make less at there new jobs then there old ones, and prices in gas are more for all of us; making it a "real life" hard ship, at least for me and the people I know. I am sure I am not the only one finding it hard to make ends meet because of gas prices. Core88

  I went to a bookstudy for 4 years that was in an elders nice full basement, after every BS me and him would play pool on his pool table get soft drinks from his refridgerator and have snacks from his candy jars. Sometimes there would be music and others a full blown pitch in dinner or cook out after.

  this came to my mind after i read 24k's would you go back thread.

  just say when armageddon came jehovah gave you one last chance to repent of your apostate ways and live for eternity with jw's.

  would you take jehovah up on this offer or ask him to strike you dead?

I hope to meet some friends here and thank you for the welcome!

  I have been a df'ed witness for two years now. I have had a son around that same time moved twice and changed jobs all around that same time. It has been the hardest two years of my life. I finally started to go to "apostate" sources to get some interaction and ordered some ex'witness books. I am finally getting out of the funk I have been in. The peace of mind that I am starting to feel now is great. I have been looking into other religions too, and have found that they all are not just other forms of satanic worship like the WBTS says. The sayings of the buddah, are very good for meditation and reflection. The one thing that I just can't seem to find peace with is this whole dieing thing...I mean, what happens? I personally feel that God has been with me these past couple of years and has helped me in many ways to survive...but inspite of this "force" in my life that I believe pushes me through each day I never really understand what his purpose is for me and my family, and I don't know what to believe in when it comes to the "afterlife". Not having a clear hope as to my ultimate future is something I have never had to deal with, and while I am still enjoying my life as much as I can each day, that uncertainty is still a concern in my life. What are all your thoughts? Core88

  I would say "Damn! I knew that you oh God could not be so bad as to kill everyone on earth without giving them a clear chance at serving you!" It's to bad that acording to the dubs that God is not even as kind as this "morbid" idea from a human. Core88
