Has Anybody Here Converted to Judaism?

2. beliefs
i've studied many religions since i left the jws.

i've flirted with a few and have actually thought about joining, but in the end i didn't because it didn't feel right--it didn't resonate with me.

in 2001, the year i discovered this forum, i started reading judaism 101 and really enjoyed it.

What I Learned from Bro Lett's DC Talk
by Rohag in

2. beliefs
what i learned/derived from steven lett's dc talk (thanks again, ynot, for providing access to the .mp3 files!).

brother lett - or the committee that produced the talk - really loves food metaphors.well-dressed people, especially children, produce a good witness.if you're an apostate, chances are bad conduct/secret sin/moral depravity made you that way.

apostasy is usually founded on sin and rarely on conviction.the bible is an insufficient - or overly cumbersome - guide to godly conduct.

Need Help From Anyone Who Has Been Part of a World Wide Org Other Than JW's
by Eh in

i've been having some good discussions with my jw brother-in-law about god, the bible, and the witnesses.

he's really integrated into the jw life and i think he truly believes the stuff they peddle.

it's clear that he has never done any research outside of the wtbs publications and has never really questioned his beliefs.
