  now i'm even more confused...

  by Missanna in

  ok i started thinking tonight which is always a bad idea after i've had a long, really pressuring, day at work.

  but i've been in this sort of confused uncomfortable state lately about whether i believe in god or not.

  i finally got past the actual guilt of having these questions because i knew that was just what was drilled into my skull in my past.

  I am pretty much at the same place as you, missanna trying to come to grips with a whole new belief system is not easy. Thanks for starting this topic and thanks to all who have replied, there's some good stuff there.

  My dilema is that if there is no god, than to whom/what do I give thanks? There is so much to be grateful for in this life but if there is no god, then who do I thank for the so many wonderful things all around me?

  Trolling Apologist vs. Informed Apostate - WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO CHANGE?

  by BizzyBee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the battle between apologists and apostates, who do you think more often comes around to the other point of view and why?.

  imho, apologists (or trolls) are just potential apostates who need a little more time in the oven.

  (in other words, they are not fully baked, only "half-baked.

  before we even begin, if you have not read my story, you may not understand why this is such a big deal to me... this is a part of my story and it can be found at: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/101870/1.ashx.

  and here we go... my "father", an abusive bastard of a jw, recently sent me an email that put me in a tizzy!

  Inafmous,

  My dad was not a jw but he was very abusive in many ways and I had nothing to do with him for many years, from the time I was about 18 until after I was 40. I surprised even myself when I allowed him back into my life. It helped that when he contacted me his apologies were heart felt while he was begging through his tears. He didn't pretend he was a good father, but he wanted to be. I think in that moment he experienced all the pain he had ever caused me and all his kids. He died in 2001 and I am glad I was able to forgive him. I cry for you as I type this, I can feel your pain.

  The last thing I would have ever believed in my life is that I would hug my dad and tell him I love him and really mean it. I guess what I'm trying to say is there's always hope.

  Be well.

  *Are xjw's more honest than current witnesses?

  by mtsgrad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whilst most witnesses are brainwashed, many are instinctively honest (i hope!).

  those who have left or faded have displayed enormous courage.

  when we stop behaving as we were taught would that make us more or less honest?

  I think ex-jws are more honest with themselves otherwise they'd still be jws.
