You create your own god and you create the qualities you want your god to have. No two person's explanation of god is the same. Each one is based on faith, not evidence, in what they want the story to be. It's your own creation and story.

138Jehovah God is Real
by TakeOffTheCrown inthere are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

Taking up a Cause
by OnTheWayOut inso recently, my jw wife asks me if i ever considered taking up a cause.it was a question out of the blue, coming off of a discussion about politics.
so while it was unsaid, she was really getting at whether i was considering being politically active in some way.. i already have a standard answer that i have used before with other people, so i said it.
"no, i will be content to work and get by then retire and sit in the sun with a good book and a cold water.

I guess maybe the joy of being out is now being free to do or not do whatever the hell you want. Something jws do not get to do, and they can sometimes be critical of others because of their own "sacrifices" they've made in their "voluntary life saving" work.

I mentioned on another thread a similar situation. I was in Baja Mexico last weekend and by the side of the road, absolutely NO foot traffic, stood a bright blue jw.org canopy with a lone lady sitting behind the table. Side of the road...no foot traffic.
They got quite a scam going I tell you. Others have stated on here they trust the WTBS reported numbers. I don't know if they ever took counts, but the attendants and brothers absolutely round up or fabricate numbers. Let alone the publishers who made up their reported numbers. There are no checks and balances...but mark my words...it will catch up to them sometime. And when it is advantageous for them to report lower counts maybe for taxation purposes or whatever...watch those numbers fall. Smoke and mirrors folks.

Your work is not in vain! Thank You!
by de-opresso-liber inbeen lurking since early this year.
there are many of us out there (at least in this area, central u.s.) who are waking up and crossing the line to talk to each other about it.
in our area, several elders, ministerial servants and pioneers are actively and openly sharing info with each other daily.

Welcome d-o-l!!!!
It's fantastic to hear more and more are thinking things through and leaving. The religion is really only for people that need to be told how and what to think. The more they dig their heels in on that, the more cognitive dissonance will occur with many...not all...but many.
Strength for the journey...it's worth it!

More bad news for the Organisation in Australia
by no-zombie init appears the the commonwealth government is bringing in a national compensation scheme for victims of institutional child sexual abuse with individuals able to claim up to $150,000 each.
it's clear that the australian government will not be able to fund this program without serious money from the offending churches.
so it's bad news for the organization today.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-04/government-announces-redress-for-abuse-victims/7996092.

Born in. My parents said they wanted to know more about the Bible. Sadly, they didn't catch on that they had to read hundreds of multi-colored books to explain what the WT said the Bible says.
It was just before WWII, and they were in the Great Depression. They thought the world was ending soon, and they were suckered in to those crazy promises. **sigh** Half my family still believes in those promises sooooo many years down the line.

Excellent Paul! Very informative. Crazy religion! My family were Seventh Day Adventists before JW's. It wasn't until about 15 years ago I figured out the connection. And why they took me to a SDA hospital when I had my appendix out.
Thank you for your continuing efforts at JW Facts. x
