  i have been reading this board for a year now, so i'm not new, but new to posting :)

  please let me apologize in advance as i am having trouble separating what is true - from what i hear at the meetings, vs here, and private research, so i may ramble or say things that may sound watchtowery.

  i still go to the meetings due to family pressure which may eventually end, not sure when, probably when i decide its enough.

  Thanks for everyones kind replies, i am feeling a lot better after reading this.
  
  As i mentioned, I would read the site, but then go to the meetings, and i guess it would trigger the guilt complex again, crazy.
  
  I also wanted to say, i have been reading your posts OTWO for the last few months, thanks for your work for us newbies

  Thanks for all your replies To IP_SEC This has been a large part of my problem. I see many different religions worldwide, every part of the world has its own flavour, this bothers me because of the religion people are born into, most stay with it, just like most born-in jw's stay in too. Therefore, it would not seem fair for all them to be destroyed too, unless of course God can read the heart and makes a decision based on that, i dont know. I am not afraid of death per se, but i would prefer to just go in my sleep, not the way the bible says it is.

  Hi everyone. I have been reading this board for a year now, so i'm not new, but new to posting :) Please let me apologize in advance as i am having trouble separating what is true - from what i hear at the meetings, vs here, and private research, so i may ramble or say things that may sound watchtowery. I still go to the meetings due to family pressure which may eventually end, not sure when, probably when i decide its enough. This board has helped keep me balanced, however some things still bother me. All the time i was in the "truth" they say, its either do it our way, or the highway, because if you don't have us, you are nothing. This question is for any that are still Christian after leaving the witnesses, Jesus mentioned in the scripture that there would be ones that said, did we not prophecy in your name.... etc, but that he would not recognize them. Did this mean that there would be only one true religion? I cant get my head around the scripture. Also, when Jesus commanded the disciples to preach, was this meant to be in the door to door style of the witnesses, or something else. I have been feeling immense guilt about me thinking about these topics, and i pray to God that he forgives me if i am not seeing the whole truth about this. Thanks for your answers in advance.
