Stepping out of the shadows
by contramundum ini have been lurking on the site for a few months and thought it about time i plucked up the courage to step out of the shadows and say hello.. i am in the process of fading after realizing all is not right with the organization i had trusted implicitly for over 40 years.
there have always been 'truths' i have struggled to accept entirely, even as a child, but was confident that trusting in jehovah, building my faith and remaining patient would be enough to settle any nagging doubts that remained, so i pushed any inconsistencies to the back of my mind and concentrated on being the best witness that i could be.. over the last few years, however, i have been preoccupied with a number of crises in my family and stepping back slightly from 'theocratic' activity has allowed me to re evaluate a number of concerns and research sources other than the sanitized wt publications.. my eyes are now wide open - i found things which have appalled me and left me feeling extremely let down and disappointed by people i had really trusted.. i tried gently raising a few subjects with my mum (who was baptized early '70s and still remains a staunch wt supporter) but she will hear no criticism of the organization.
i understand this because the best part of her life has been invested in the religion and to acknowledge it may have got things wrong would be to recognize the last 40 years have been a vain waste.

Yea the almighty Spegetti monster sent his son Macaroni to boil for our sins. And yes he was delicious with cheese, and the people rejoiced. And angry was the evil Lasanga who rebelled with all his evil sauces, which mislead mankind into obesity. -

To join you need to wear a spegetti strainer on your head for your licence photo. True! look it up. That is the only thing stopping me from joining. -

Finally posting and I'm FRUSTRATED!!!
by stephanie61092 inokay, i'm about to engage in a major word vomit.
just giving you fair warning as your time may be better spent somewhere else.. so, i'm sitting on my lunch break, bawling my eyes out, and writing on this forum to people i don't know yet probably have a great deal in common with but at the same time, used to scare the daylights out of me.
for years, i would come across this forum and 'lurk' awhile if you will, or see things on youtube.

Thanks for the support. I want to support my wife fully though the stats say 44 year olds have 10 % chance of live birth so I know the deal. Doc seemed to be a "used car salesman" dont like him. I'm sorry we fell into this position. Money wise we are good though. -

What are the biggest holes in the ransom sacrifice?
by Half banana inhow honest are the proponents of jesus as the ransom sacrifice?.
curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?.

The only proof about who/what Jesus was is in a book with unknown authors. There is no proof whatsoever. He may have lived as one of dozens of messiahs at the time. But him doing miricles is based on faith not facts. -

Even the Watchtower agrees species like dogs "evolve" into other breeds. But that it all started with Adam and Eve eating a forbidden fruit. There is no evidence of "Eden" and bible scolars agree Genesis was written in the 6th Century B.C.E by Jewish revisionists not Moses. You need to start from here!
