  Lingering doubts and internal debates

  hello, i am in the beginning stages of a slow fade.

  over the years i have become more and more dissatisfied with the beliefs, teachings, and organizational practices of the organization.

  i no longer have faith in it.

  Welcome Huxley! Glad you found us.

  I was in the audience at Dodger Stadium when Freddie Franz yelled into the microphone "this old world will not survive the end of this century!" And by george, I believed him 100%. As a JW you only look for and only see the bad going on. You are taught to hook onto it so you can offer a pet lion on a paradise earth to worldly people. And boy did I. And I was successful in converting 4 people to the faith.

  One of the major factors of my leaving was a series that was played on PBS in 1999-2000, about apocalyptic religions. It traced many groups through the centuries predicting 1000, 1500, 1844, 1879 etc etc. as THE year of god's great war with satan and "their" faithful as the only worthy survivors. I had no idea. I was raised a JW, and I thought only they had the inside scoop on this whole business. Turns out JW's were just one of many groups that interpreted scripture to their own agenda, each with their unique argument as to why their calculations were the only correct ones.

  As read and gather more information outside the JW box, you will gain more confidence in your decision.

  Wishing you peace of mind and comfort for the journey.

  How Would You React if a Snake Started Talking to You?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just an odd thought i guess.

  i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.

  i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?

  One of the best lines I ever heard was from this board. It went something like this.

  When some JW is trying to make some point using the WT's phrasing and says:

  "It's logical to assume..."

  Answer: "Some think a talking snake is logical."

  I love using this.

  what a wonderful time to be a jehovah’s witness!

  for the most part you don’t have to go and preach you don’t have to go to meetings and you can stay home and watch what happens on your ipad.

  these are the glory days!!

  I guess maybe now it really is the "Best Life Ever!"

  Just for giggles, maybe it would be fun to contact somebody and say "Hey howareya! I heard you don't have to go from door to door anymore to get your time in and can attend meetings in your own home. Count me in!" and see what they say.

  last wednesday my elder brother called me to let me know mom had died.

  she was 97 years old and was in a nursing home for the last 7 years.

  her mind had left her many years ago to the point she didn't recognize any of us.
