hi brinjen. i see what your saying and i also trust that what your saying is based on truth and experiance etc ,, i wont doubt that at all so i do appreciate your comment. i do believe that is the way for me and the lifestyle. im not afraid to leave or anything if it does come to it. i have thoiugh just spoke to one of me elders on the phone and after the cing we are going to have a talk as i have some issues as you can see. its tough when i can plainly see how the lifestyle works but how everybody is always against me saying that their way is better , yet most people on the earth are genrally mixed up. lol touhg one hey.

i understand your points.. the thing is,, the congregation i go to isnt like that.. i know that being a christian is restricting but i gues only for the protection from satan. i do not want to go to the church as i know they do ot follow god hte way he wants them to( as with even some JW,s that have done wrong). can you guarantee that not being a true christian will svae me from armageddon?

a good man i used to know from the jw days died today of cancer.

he was in his mid thirties and i feel really bad for his wife.

he was a great guy.

That's only one creepy thing about death in wbts. They console themselves with the thought that the one who has passed got an automatic ticket to paradise. actually it doesnt mean that they will inherit the earth. everybody has a chance of forgiveness and to learn about jehovah and jesus,, why do you think there is a 1000 year rein for christ?
