gen. 3:5 for god knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like god, knowing good and bad.".
(genesis 3:22) 22 and jehovah god went on to say: "here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take [fruit] also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite,".
gen 3:22and the lord god said, behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:i awoke this morning and had an epiphiny.

for me, it was a combination of things over a long period of time.

how about you?
After reading the whole Bible for the first time, everything changed.
this morning, a poster asked me why i still go on field service:.
just wondering if your conscience bothers you that you are continuing to "spread the jw gospel"?
do you have plans to stop fs soon?
I am Ministerial Servant (almost elder) and I have to put face and go to the service for the sake of my family too. I think I am making progress with them, so I have to stick to this for a while because I love them. But, meanwhile it is a really hard thing to do go and give people magazines and tell them lies. So, I try to do the less possible. Meaning. If I have to talk I just talk about the Bible and I leave the magz where is no people around.

...but don't know where to start looking for a good church to attend?.
or maybe feel too guilty with leftover jw emotions to even think about going to church at all?.
I would love to attend another church. I want to know what other people think about God and life. That surely will help me broad my horizons and understand them better. Don't you think?

Are the figures false you ask? Well, at least the ones I put in every month are, so...
when you gather with the same people for decades, they get to know you inside out.
they know where you work, have a good idea how much money you earn, know if you have sex or not, know your personal tastes, know where you go on vacations and so on..... were there things you were able to keep them from knowing?.
Heck yeah!
I know about a lot hanky panky between bros and sis from different elder's marriages. And they look so holy. If they knew I know. LOL
