Some good advice here. Sweet pea - i like this one too - If it is The Truth, then it MUST be able to stand up to ALL criticism. Truth is truth and is solid. If we can shake it up, and pull it apart, have doubts etc then it's not Truth. To me, that's very simple. FF

Advice to Lurking Newbies?
by sweet pea ini was thinking about how it's a shame that all our potential newbies, who are undoubtedly still visiting for the first time and reading, aren't able to register and ask for everyone's help and advice with things they are experiencing right now.. so, if you had a few words of wisdom, encouragement, advice, what would it be?.
i have a feeling someone i once knew may be watching...... my advice would be:-.
don't be afraid.. if truth is truth it will stand, if it is false it will fall.. you are among friends who will not judge or condemn you for daring to use your brain, open your mind and ask questions.

News from downunder - the mystery of the falling tower on 9/11
by ozziepost inappearing in our news today is this item which may, or may not, lay the conspiracy theories to bed.
us investigators solve 9/11 mysteryaugust 22, 2008, 8:32 am.
ap [enlarge photo]us investigators say they have solved the mystery of the collapse of world trade centre building seven in the september 11 attacks.. the 47 storey trapezoid sat north of the world trade centre towers, across vesey street in new york city's lower manhattan.. on september 11, it was set on fire by falling debris from the burning towers, but sceptics have long argued that fire and debris alone should not have brought down such a big steel and concrete structure.. scientists with the national institute of standards and technology say their three year investigation of the collapse determined the demise of wtc seven was actually the first time in the world a fire caused the total failure of a skyscraper.. "the reason for the collapse of world trade centre seven is no longer a mystery," said dr shyam sunder, the lead investigator on the team.. investigators also concluded that the collapse of the nearby towers broke the city water main, leaving the sprinkler system in the bottom half of the building without water.. the building has been the subject of a wide range of conspiracy theories for the last seven years, partly because the collapse occurred about seven hours after the twin towers came down.

I love this site! Hav'nt been here for sometime though, have a new life now... anyway. My 2 cents worth : I'm not very scientific, however i don't believe everything people tell me. For me - 911 has too many questions that are desperately trying to be answered by the U.S government with big, fancy "Scientific" words.I have a to say it's all Bullsh*t! The more they talk, the more stupid they sound. For questioning " The Truth" - you may be surprised at the conclusion. My "free-thinking" helped me get out of a religion that appeared to be correct to me for years. It's personal and it's great! FF

Can u give me just 5 points to bring up if necessary to help them understand why i now do not believe? Five points or arguments that may get them thinking seriously about what the org is teaching? Your help would be appreciated Regards FF

Fantasizing about the end of the Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Bring_the_Light ini'm pretty new here.
after being on my own 10 years, i'm finally coming to grips with my past (which i previously just ignored/didn't think about).
thanks for existing everyone, its been very existential.

Would like to see it in my lifetime. Maybe i will or maybe not. The organisation has some great catch phrases to keep it alive. As we kmow " The Light Gets Brighter"( We can change doctrine and make up rules as we see fit) The men in the org are "imperfect"( The men make mistakes but won't admit them or say sorry to those they have hurt). It is " The Truth" ( If we keep calling it The Truth, then it MUST be!)etc I'd rather fantasize about many other things. FF

Hi to everyone at JWD. I have been "offline" for about 3 Months. Had to leave my wife and the in-laws behind. As they are JW's and i was disfellowshipped ( Still am ),i found it impossible to live there anymore. Now living with a workmate in a nice unit with a swimming pool and spa! I have a beautiful girlfriend and a new chapter has begun. So for those who are going through hard times getting out : It IS possible, and you will come out the other side stronger! Regards FF
