Isn't it ironic
by Princess Daisy Boo in
1. watchtower
2. medical
i used to regularly get calls from my mom (she rarely confronted me face to face for some reason) about my leaving "da troof" and most often, her lectures were met with my silence - i didnt have the confidence to answer her back as to why i left and refused to return.

now - almost 7 months are regularly reading and posting on jwd, i am angry and just itching for an opportunity for me to tell her what i have learned and discovered.

the relief at discovering that i wasn't alone is indescribable!

Why believe god?
by LtCmd.Lore in
1. watchtower
2. bible
assuming for the sake of argument that the bible is inspired of god, why do you trust this god?.

how do you know anything he says is true?.

for all you know, satan may have created everything, and then yahweh came in to take the credit.. for all you know, yahweh may just like messing with people.

I think I am an Atheist (current JW)
by Robert7 in
1. jw
2. friends
i am writing this group to discuss a topic that as you can imagine i really cannot discuss with too many people, at least as of now.

i am a married male jw, married to a another jw, and she's content with being a witness, and in fact, i don't want to change that if she's happy.. for a very brief history, i was baptized at 19, and have been a jw for 10 years.

fact is, i 'believed' in everything in as much as a lot of it 'made sense' and i was wrapped up in the whole thing.

1. jw
2. experiences
after being raised as a jw, my dad was df'd for the 2nd time in 1994. that year he lost a wife, 3 children, mother and brother, as well as every friend he had made throughout his 40 years of life.

over the years my sister and i gradually started contacting him, but never had a real father/daughter relationship.

a few years ago, during my divorce, he and i sat down and started discussing his feelings.

What is truth?

1. watchtower
2. bible
ah!

yes, that remark made by pilate after pilate had asked jesus wether he was a king.

( john 18:37-38 ).. how would you answer the question according to what we know from the bibles definition, and how the faithful and discreet slave have endeavored to give us spiritual food at the proper time?.
