JWs at the door
by HB inyesterday, my 23 year old son mark was the only one in our house and was just drying off after a shower when the front doorbell rang.
he was expecting a friend to arrive, so he pulled on a pair of underpants and went to open the door and let his friend in, only to find two sweet-looking, demurely dressed middle aged jw ladies on the doorstep holding magazines.
mark was not particularly embarrassed, but the ladies were visibly taken aback by his appearance and were speechless for a couple of seconds.

My Beliefs on Spirtualism
by Vincent init was suggested by someone to share my beliefs on spirtualism ever since i left the jw i no longer believe what the bible says.
however i don't do things like the occult or use a ouija board.
from the age of 11 i was interested in spiritualism through my brother who practiced out of body experiences, a lot of people have to see it to belive it really as many religions like the jehovah's witnesses says it is all work of satan aka lucifer, fraud or hoax.

Finding Faith
by Ima Apostate inhow many of you ex-jw kids were able to believe in mainstream christianity after leaving the borg?
within the last year, i have opened up to getting to know god again.
what's funny is that when i prayed for truth and to know god, i knew and had a real feeling in my heart that i was getting closer to something real, but there was still a voice going, "hey, it's me jehovah, and you have rejected me!".

The problems with my JW family
by Ima Apostate inthis may be a rare thing on this board, don't know, because this is my first post, but i was raised jw and officially 'checked out', in my own mind, at 14 or so, because it just didn't make sense that god would destroy so many good people who are wholeheartedly trying their best to please him and worship him in truth.
i actually did not pray or give god a passing thought for 12 years or so because the god i had been raised to know was no one i wanted to worship.
but here in the past year something brought me around to him.

Believer's how long will you allow this blasphemy?
by dawg inas all of you know, i do not believe the bible's divine... but if i did, i find that much of what the society says is outright blasphemy.
notice this insert from the april 15th, wt... you can look it up for yourselves as i'm certain i'm not taking this out of context.
if you believe the bible is the word of god (i find it hard to believe that anyone can take it literal) but if you do, then what about the souls of your family still in?

An Elder Called Me Yesterday
by snowbird inafternoon around 5 pm.. he just wanted me to know that he was thinking of and praying for me.. he said he was a bit down himself because of back problems and insensitive gossip about his problem.. i expressed my dismay over conditions in the organization and he agreed that something is terribly wrong.. i could tell he wanted to say more, but didn't want to rock the boat too much.. his call took me totally by surprise, and i the defeat and sadness in his voice was unmistakable.. he is one of the best.
i hope he gets out with his family intact.. the wt is going nowhere fast.. sylvia.

An Interesting YouTube debate I had with a JW
by B_Deserter inso most of you have probably seen my youtube video what you should know about jehovah's witnesses, which can be found here.
naturally, this draws quite a negative response from the jw community, but this particular person decided to send me a personal message.. you wanna talk smack about witnesses or anyone in general you better have your facts straight.
everything you said is taken almost enitrly out of context to our true practices.

Experience from a bible study student
by Vincent ini have left the jehovah's witnesses(jw) organisation after hearing of the death of emma gough who was 22 years old and refused blood while giving birth to twins.
as i thought of this i thought this would put me in a similar situation but with having a brain tumour operation like i did on 7/12/06
i studied the what the bible teaches book and got to chapter 13 until 28th oct 07 i left after hearing of the terror of that death.
