i've been bi for a long time but i know it's wrong if you want to be a jw... .
Sally, you said, "Yeah i do . Like I believe the bible prophecies are probably true and the history aspects ."
Look a little deeper. Read books by Bart Ehrman, Ray Franz, carl orloff Johnnson, etc
Start with "Age of Reason by Thomas Paine. Here's a link: http://manybooks.net/pages/painethoetext03twtp410/0.html
There is no reason to be conflicted. The "prophecies and history " aren't true!
look what an ex-bethelite has to say about the spirit channeling he saw first hand up at wallkill:.

now i believe rayven's story of horror at brooklyn bethel:.
Typical of Bethel. One guy is a self righteous asshole, the other is probably artistic and suffers from delusions of grandeur. Both a bit nuts.
No conspiracy. Just the human psyche under strain.
I was at Wallkill too. Didnt know either guy, but the personality types ring true.
here is a fascinating subject.
according to the bible , one of adam's first assignments was to name all the animals including the sea creatures and dinosaurs of course.
we don't know how long this took but, as all witnesses know, the time period is crucial in working out the timing of armageddon).

2025? 1975+50???
Just playing along.
i think all of us ex-j-dubs have had the --i'll call it a privilege--to exchange views with others who think differently than we do.
we encounter "christians" from mainstream churches.our dialogue is sort of...like speaking to martians.sooner or later, an ex-dub smacks into a wall.
that wall is a subject which is never spoken about or taught by the gb or watchtower with any candor.
I noticed this too when I left.
Grace is such a beautiful, spiritual, light concept.
Undeserved kindness is very guilt ridden and legalistic. Even Calvinist.
But I'm an atheist now- so I think it's all bs!
with all the cattle, sheep and others wouldn't they be shitting and peeing all over the place?
along with the gallons and gallons of blood being drained and then the flesh being burned as well.
wouldn't the stench be unbearable?.
The book Zealot by Reza Aslan has a great description of the disgusting, fetid experience Jerusalem must have been. Stockyard doesn't begin to describe it.
i have two questions about warwick.
see the picture included.
1) at the other side of the lake you see other buildings.
IBM has buildings all throughout the Hudson Valley. That facility is like many others- nice, and empty!
i happened to be in brooklyn yesterday and decided to take a spin around the old hq.. the factory buildings have cool retail at ground level and offices or loft apartments above.
the whole factory complex area looks very cool- now that it is not jw'd..
Easy- Brooklyn is where all of the "cool kids" live now. Coffee bars, skinny jeans, music halls and restaurants with names Iike "chicken and waffles"
