i'll be free from the bondage of the watchtower pharisees.. after over a year now of researching my belief in god and the watchtower society, i'm convinced that i can't live my life untill i'm out.. they finally just a few weeks ago deleted me as an ms, over six months after i asked them to.

that's a big relief.

they didn't get the hint from my 2 hrs.

Hi darklighter,

Welcome to JWD!. Freedom is so wonderful, isn't it?

If you want to catch A@G you might send him a PM. Know

how to do that? It alway catches my eye when I log in.

Glad to have you here.

Love and hugs,

Lurker for a long time, finally decided to take the plunge!

by Momma-Tossed-Me in

i say this because i have been helped so much by the many posts that represent the way i feel about the wtbts.

it is good to know that there are so many people that feel this way.

i am currently inactive and dont comment but do attend meetings for the sake of the family.. my wife is still in and i have a daughter and one on the way.

Welcome to JWD,

There has been a lot of good advice and articles given. My advice, is ask Holy Spirit to guide you.

If you want to know about God and have a relationship with Him, you will not find Him in the WT.

You will find out a lot ABOUT Him, much of which is only their opinion, but you will only find Him by

asking Holy Spirit to guide you.

I am praying that He will lead you in the right path.

Love and hugs,

I Received The Holy Spirit!

by Maddie in

i want to share with you all a most wonderful experience i have just had.

i have been going to a christian church called the vineyard.

they have a live band and lots of singing goes on there.

Eliveleth

Maddie,

I am so happy for you. Holy Spirit brought me the truth through my reading of the Bible and healed me and gave me

peace. I know how you feel. Jesus promised He would send this wonderful Helper and your testimony is proof that He did.

I am glad that you have peace now.

Love and hugs,

WELCOME! Surfsup,

i would work late because i wanted .

Lance,

Here is a website that you may find answers at. http://www.4witness.org/

Hope it helps. It is not pleasant when your spouse finds yet another cult and you

are ready to throw in the towel.

I will be praying for you and your wife.

Love and hugs,

Velta
