Joy Or Sorrow When You First Found Out It Was False?
by serotonin_wraith infor me, it was joy.
i was raised in the religion, and i always figured i'd be dying along with 6 billion others because i hated the meetings, the preaching work and the rules, morality and threats of 'jehovah'.
i did not want it to be true.. for others here, finding out it was false was a hard time to go through.. as well as asking which feelings you had at first (joy/sorrow/or add your own) i have a follow up question for those who found it hard- what was it that made the impending deaths of 6 billion people okay for you?

How many JW's are having doubts?
by Mickey mouse ini wonder what percentage of current jw's know it's not the truth but have too much invested to get out?
more importantly, how many of the gb know but have no where else to go?.
anyone care to hazard a guess?.

I cannot put a number on it but when you look around at the people in the kingdumb hall they all look miserable. It is adifficult thing to come to trems that the whole thing is wrong and to walk away. There are many who have extended familys and they felt they cannot leave. I think that we each have a level of tolerance and when we cannot take it anymore and we are so miserable then we make our choice. I felt like my whole life was a lie and I had to do something, each day was misery. Today, life is so good. Yes, the sweet taste of freedom.

Aren't we all responsible for the success of the Watchtower Society?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inraymond franz was a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses from 1971 until may 22, 1980, and served at the organization's world headquarters for fifteen years, from 1965 until 1980. franz wrote and edited two detailed books which relate his personal experiences with the watch tower bible and tract society and fellow members of the jehovah's witness organization.. .
after reading ray franz's books,i held him and his fellow members responsible for all the false teachings.
i also wasn't forgiving any of them even if they found out that it wasn't the ''truth'' and left the organization.now i changed my mind.

perhaps we all have a measure of accountability for the WTS success. However, it is all perpetrated on lies by the WTS. We fell victims to the fabricated lies and half truths. I hope we all can have a part in the demise of this evil cult.

Thankyou all. Boy I had the wrong book too. I have not picked up a bible and really looked and read in some time. I have been trying to disconnect from the wts and I guess Iam doing a good job. There were scriptues that I use to be able to find without hesitation but now-------------a big blank. Hmm maybe that is a good thing. It is a blnak canvas and I can learn without the WT garbage.

Who , when invited to a banquet for a fine meal does not attend. The meetings that Jehovah provides for you each week is just that, a fine banquent- well, I would rather go on a diet than eat the garbage the wts puts out.

We had a family where there was incest. The 4 year old girl was being molested by her brother. The elders gave a talk and said not to go to the authorities and that it would be handled-whatever that means. This event happened in the early 90's so that poor little girl is grown now and Iam sure has some problems.
