No offense people, but how can you classify and entire organization or congregation as filth when only talking about relatively few incidents. Sad story however, for i've seen the same.

that they felt they were neither truly loved nor cared for in their JW congregations
I'm very new, still going to meetings with wife and kids, recently learned some truths about our doctrines, your typical non-informed and ignorant witness. After searching through a lot of threads on this board, I'd agree on the above statement. Practically all of my family has left, and now a good close friend has made a decision that she will not be coming back either. She was disfellowshipped about a year ago, has 2 kids, and no calls whatsoever. That disturbs me, however, I cannot say that I know the circumstancs of the elders... which most people overlook. I know, how much effort does it take to make a call. At least for the sake of the kids... make a call.

A testimony of Filth? Absolutely... A testimony of Filth, for those involved... not the congregation/s. Otherwise, all religeous organizations are Filth.

A bit reluctant
by saki2fifty ini'm a bit reluctant in writing this post, for i dont feel i should be here.

i've never officially dedicated myself to jehovah, but i was brought up in the truth, very strong, and at times when getting older, there were lulls in my attendance... yet to this day i still attend.

Well, just thought I'd browse around a bit during lunch and I've found this site to be very informative. I picked a topic, the topic of 607BCE, which im sure everyone is tired of. After reading a simple comment from one of the posters to this board (attached below), he mentions that this topic has been covered in 1000+ pages... over and over again, which I've seen in the short time being browsing. After going through that thread, it appears that JW's have their stance, and the ex-JW's have their stance on the matter... all of which has not been resolved... as noted below.
So, a quick question. Can you honestly say that you have "learned the truth" about the non-truth of the 607bce issue when even both sides cannot prove their point?

since 01-Jul-01The topic of 607 vs 587 has become ridiculous! Why? Because just here at JWD there are about a THOUSAND pages concerning this topic...and the discussion still goes on!
Can this question ever be answered once and for all?

Lady Liberty, i'm not sure what to think. Yes, the points that you have brought out... I have heard. That is why I'm afraid of losing what I have because I know there is some truth to it. It's amazing to see how many others share similiar experiences with your's being almost identical. 607BCE.. man. I used to use that as the foundation to prove that we are in the last days... so sure that this was the proof that we are the one and only true religeon. I too have found out what you have, and the disbelief that I had, and still do, is hard to get over. I've read some of the other posts and it appears as though this board does not tailor to just JW's, which I was unaware of, so my apologies if I offended you with some of my comments. I guess for those who are not witnesses, or once were, having just studied who we are and what we are about, then you can never know how painful it is to have your whole world crumble in an evening. You will never know how much of your life is based on our teachings. I'm stuborn though, and I will continue to justify my relationship with the organization even if it means living a lie. Because where do you go once leaving? Lady Liberty, whats next for you? Do you go out and find another so called true religeon? Do you just look within yourself and try to interpret the complex bible and apply it to your life as best as you can? I say or ask that because thats what my Dad tells me... look within, have joy and peace within yourself for thats what he has found. But what does that mean? What about doing what God demands? In the year that you have left have you found that happiness that everyone else here displays? Once a witness, I dont see how you can...
Sorry, wish I had time to respond to everyones comments, which in time I'm sure I will.. and plan on it, but I'm currently writing up from work. Afraid to research at home, for I dont want to mislead my family.
Thank you all...
