so let me get this straight
by 4digitcode ini have been on here for only the past 3 days or so....so i don't really know how it goes.. this is an 'apostate' site right?.
so today i've learned that there is just the ol' regular apostate and an 'active' apostate.. but are there actually active witnesses on this site as well??.
because i just saw a topic about someone asking for advice on how to do a talk?.

I am quite new myself. Iv only been on here a couple of months. I am still somewhat active, I go to meetings, but havent been regular in a while. I am what is called on here a fader. But, I am not out. I am still doing my own personal reasearch that will help me with that decision.
I Was never really scared to read what was said on here. There are alot of opinons that are stated and its up to take in what you want. But, there are also some really worthwhile points that people make.
Anyways, hope you have a good experience. So far I have.

My PO stopped me today. He usually does, seems like a nice guy. Anyways, he hands me these sheets of paper and said "I thought you might find these interesting". Appartently this scholar Jason David BeDuhn Wrote a book called "Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias Translations of the New Testament" and from what my PO gave me this guy is saying that the NWT is pretty much the best Translation. I looked up the Author and I emailed asking him if this was actualy what he was wanting to get across, we'll see if he writes me back. But, I wasnt sure if anyone has heard of this author or this book. I scanned the couple of pages I got from my PO, but they dont come in to well.

A "Captive" No Longer
by saywhat29 inokay, i recently read "captives of a concept" by don cameron and i am utterly shocked, yet i feel so i don't know- hell, free!
this guilt of believing in "god's organization" and feeling as if i was losing something that in reality never even existed!
at first i felt so guilty, as if it was my issues that led me to my path of not having faith in the organization and in a sense always believed that i was just immoral and couldn't uphold the standards.

I am going through COC right now. Would you say that Captives of a Concept is better in any way. What does it entail that gives you that freedom of conscience?

Yea, It was on the tuesday night meeting I went to. It was funny cause I could think of TONS of witnesses who are myspace including myself. Is anyone else on there, if so, PM me.
The actual article doesnt actualy say myspace. Its more so implied. I had not heard anything about elders calling families asking if their children were on.
Ill scan my copy and post it later on if I can remember.

For Lurkers Only

Guess you could call me a lurker. IM still active, well, I still go to some meetings. One thing that sparked something in me, was a few months back a pretty respected elder left. It was VERY quick. literally like conducting the watchtower one week to not comming to meetings anymore the next. That along with me not seeing the love that was supposed to be there and also my brother had been out for a while as well, it got me to start acting on some questions I already had. I have been doing mounds of research. Im starting to do actual personal research on the dates. Thats the only way I would be able to leave, is if I see it for myself. My head has been absolutly spinning with everything iv been reading.
I think one thing keeps going through my mind is, if all this info is so real and out there, then how come there is so many people still in, I mean if its so obvious, the drop out rate should be more rampent then it already is.
Even though I am still needing to do some person study, Its more so, just confirming what iv read and its validity. I beleive Im mostly at the point of needing to make that life changing decision of whether or not to stay in or get out. It kind of gives me a lost feeling with the thinking of, if I dont have the witnesses, what else is there. I beleive though once I confirm things for myself, the decision will be made for me.

Do they DA people who quit going?
by White Dove indo the elders da people who quit going?
i quit going two years ago and when sisters came to my door one time and asked why, i told them that the elders are no different from the pharisees and that i don't want anymore to do with it.
no elders have ever visited me concerning this or any other matter.

Well, the only way you can be DA is if you tell them thats what you want. What your probly talking about is DF. The only way they can do this "legaly", is if you give them a reason to. Which if you still have ones, such as your family, that are still in, I would make sure not to say a thing. If they ask you again, just say you have personal issues.
