Just talked to an Elder in the parking lot of the KH in Monett
by Vernon Williams ini have just a momment...replacing alternator on our jeep..... i saw one of the elders that recomended i da myself in '02 in parking lot....fairly long conversation....it ended like this:.
i commented that if he "really had the truth" he would just stop by, we would enter into some discussions and he would prove me wrong.
however, i told him, in my heart i know in your heart that you kinow i would prove the wt in error and you fear me because of it.

Are Seventh-Day Adventists a better Church to belong to than being a JW
by jwfacts ina lot of exjws need an answer to "where else to go?
" and some people seem to need to belong to an organization.
doing some research on answers.yahoo.com i noticed that both jws and mormons come in for a lot of criticism for being manipulative cults.

Romans 8
by confused and lost ini have just finished reading the book of romans and i have a question ?
a person cannot please god unless he is controlled by the spirit.
(rom 8:8,9) nor can he put to death the misdeeds of the body except by the spirit (rom 8:13) the next verse (v14) then tells us that all who are led by gods spirit are gods sons.in fact they are adopted as his children.however,according to the wts , these verses only apply to the annointed.so,my question is this.if only the annointed are led by gods spirit,whose spirit leads the "other sheep" ?

The Watchtower's depiction of "bad people"
by B_Deserter ini find it absolutely hillarious how "bad people" (i.e.
gang members, prisoners, thieves, etc.
) are depicted on the cover of a watchtower.

Where have you turned to?
by Robert7 ini am very curious, since i am myself trying to figure out where to turn to, if anywhwere.
(i am still debating if i am truly an atheist at heart and religion in general turns me off at least as of now) where have you turned to since you left the wt?
i would imagine that many people who became witnesses had spiritual needs (which is ironic why i am feeling atheist, lol) but have you gone to other churches, stopped going to church, become atheist, etc?
