maybe the reason it's hard to go is because we don't know where else to go...it seems that this is the closest one...but having studied catholic theology..their theology just makes as much sense as the wts'...maybe it's time to do our research..and attempt to know what really is true..

Reasons why its so hard to break from the WTS
by Leander ini'm still sitting on the fence trying to figure out which direction to go in.
i think one of the reasons i have'nt left yet is because of the fact that i'm not entirely sure that the wts is really not god's organization.. some of the reasons why i feel that way is because of their insight on the scripture.
i've never heard of any other religion attempt to decipher the prophecies in the book of daniel and revelations.

Good people in the WTS
by Introspection ini sometimes think there may be people who will be largely unaffected by the organization crashing down, by virtue of them actually being good hearted people.
naturally the psychological shock will be there if they didn't see it coming at all, but i really think for some people the religion doesn't touch the core of who they are.
(actually, i think that's the case for everyone, but since this is a free country you're free to believe otherwise ;) ) so, do you know anyone like that?

What should the WTBS do?!?!
by LDH inwell guys sorry i haven't participated much lately, i've been really busy.
but, i do have a question that i would really appreciate all of your input on.. it is no secret that young people are leaving jws faster and faster.
it is no secret that most jws are disappointed, and hurt by lack of prophecy fulfillment.. so here's what i was thinking: i'm going to post some very personal thoughts on what *i* think they need to do in order to stop the loss of almost 50,000 disfellowshipped and probably 4x that to inactivity.

Two Witnesses Rule
by Stephanus init just occurred to me that you could have fun with that rule.
single out your favourite elder and privately go up to him and call him every expletive you know.
when they try to discipline you, ask, "are there two witnesses to this?

Being rather than doing together..
by Introspection inactually the subject pretty much sums it up.
i wanted to ask you guys, have you ever had a relationship where you can just be with the person, not so much be busy doing this and that?
maybe this sounds boring but if anything i think that's what i'd be looking for... .
