i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.
Stumpy,Most of us here have been through what your going through.
believe me you will come out the other side better off,it may take a while but you both will.
hang in there mate and we are all enjoying your posts.
Karter.... from the other side of the ditch.
i just skimmed the titled article on jw.org and once again the watchtower is misdirecting:.
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150301/jesus-death-and-resurrection/ .
they try and make the old case that jesus saves us from being destroyed at armageddon.
good morning, fellow posters and friends:.
please use your imagination to complete this little tale.
several endings came to me while drinking my morning cup of coffee on the patio.. thanks.. cc.
Move to New Zealand we just had our 1st Autum rain.

i figure it's about time that i stop silently lurking around this community and actually add to the conversation, so here goes a first post.
a little about me-i was born "half-in", that is, my mother has been a witness for the entirety of my life whereas my father has never been.
i was an active part of the congregation (at least for what an unbaptized publisher can do) until i turned 18 and got an opportunity to attend a university (go school!).
Welcome look forward to hearing more from you.

another xjw called me this morning to tell me that a reasonably well-known 'old timer' had just died.
which set me thinking about death and the jws.
we were so positive that armageddon was coming in our life time that when death arrives on the door-step its hard for some to cope.. not that this man who just died may have been in that situation.
Hans Hubler who didn't fall out with him??
they had problems getting anyone to have him for meals when he came to our congro.

considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.
2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.
these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.
Flipper,I had a conversation with the Elders in my old congro about child molesters going from door to door.
The WTS has decided that its ok for them to go in F.S but imagine this Bro child molester starts a study with a family after a time the father finds out he is a child molester is around his family how do you think YOU would fell if you were that father ??
Naturally they tried to doge the question.
I said if i see any of the 2 child molesters in this congro going into anyone house ill be telling them.
Its not up to the WTS to decide its Ok for a known child molester to go into someones house its up the the house holder.
If the house holder has any questions dont worry ill pass on you guys phone number so you can ex plane it to them.
