  hi all, its time i stopped lurking around here.

  i've been posting at jws for just over a year, i know a few names here and it looks like there is lots of good banter going on.. i am a second generation, born-in who grew up in west-central scotland.

  i pioneered in edinburgh and later married and settled in berwick just south of the border.

  Site To Refute Franz And Cameron

  by Bangalore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this site set up by a loyal jw who wants to refute books like "crisis of conscience" and "captives of a concept".

  i thought loyal jw's were not even supposed to read such books.. .

  Did You Exit the Witnesses Due to Injustices / Difference with Doctrine-Both?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of us leave due to injustices committed inside the organization.

  i did initially.

  i had doubts about some doctrines for years - but not until after leaving the witnesses was i free to be able to confirm my suspicions and see that yes, i did have valid reasons to have doubts all those years .

  I left for all the wrong reasons

  Never felt the need to justify them

  28 Years passed and the dissonance reared its ugly head

  Then I had to start reconciling all those feelings

  of doom and gloom (and basically the hopelessness)

  This was my first stop thanks to Google

  Was scared to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Went through the

  Tears

  Anger

  Wanting revenge

  Reconciliation

  Freedom!!

  Turns out all my wrong reasons

  were right. Imagine That

  I now know that it's all a scam

  Cautious Newcomer

  2. friends

  i am still a member of the jw's organization.

  i have been puzzled over some of the teachings for many years but as i seemed to be the only one querying things among my local jw's i felt as if i was going crazy.

  i was very relieved to find this site, a few months ago, full of evidence to back up my findings, and so much more.. i am so grateful to you all.. i do not want to leave the organization until i have planted some seeds in my family to open their eyes.

  Twas back in 1979

  when I left 'cause I thought I was right

  Then I became afraid I was wrong

  and they were right

  Ignored the feelings of doom and gloom

  and lived a life of disconnect with the

  world and everyone in it

  Decided to examine my faith (or lack of it)

  Almost (ALMOST) went back..................

  Purely out of fear and confusion

  Came to this forum

  Read Ray's books

  Read and studied daily

  5 - 6 hours a day for

  2 years.......................

  Then I was cured.............

  Dissonance gone
