MsGrowingGirl20: Have you read any apostate books? A few of them have been game-changers for those who've read them. Some are better than others. Crisis of Conscience is one of the better ones, IMHO. It can be read in a few short hours and the writing style is personal and easy to follow.

This was my 'Sign'
by MsGrowingGirl20 inin my previous post i mentioned that i'm staying in the org because i think i got a sign from god...some of you asked a lot of questions about my sign and even shared the society's view on asking for signs which i didn't know.. i didn't disclose exactly what the sign was.. some of you asked me what it was and even stated that i know that you all would pick apart and prove that my sign was just a frivolous excuse to hold on to the org.. maybe you were right.. so i've decided to tell you all exactly what it was---no embellishments or exaggerations.
i would love to hear your opinions since i'm still in a terrible mess.sometimes i'm 100% this is not the truth then other times i'm 60%....i feel if god was giving me a sign i'd be 100% this is the truth you know?.
so i woke up that morning and organized to go meeting.

Hello, there!
Magwitch, what a lovely thing to say. Thank you. You have a PM.
I've been lurking a bit, but I've had to take a break from posting to focus on some important projects. Everything is going really well. My little girl finished kindergarten and my little boy (age 4) is growing like a weed. Work has been extraordinarily busy.
I continue to marvel at how many new people join this forum and discover the truth about Watchtower. Jehovah is truly speeding up the work. :-)
Carry on.

How would you refute . . . ?
by leaving_quietly ini have an issue with preaching.
specifically, going door to door, talking to people who, for the most part, have no desire whatsoever to hear what i have to say.
more specifically, being required to do so as a means of salvation.

If you're a JW, then you'll need to go door-to-door. Otherwise, people will assume that you're spiritually weak. It doesn't matter what the Bible says.

There is no evidence that Jesus went door-to-door.

I made it!! I'm just so freaking happy!!!
by Rocky_Girl inas some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.
well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.
after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.

Atheists! Would like your suggestion..
by umadevi inhi friends, i have been reading threads on atheism and how they see life from their point of view.
i must admit some of the points that you (atheists) put forth have given me something to think about.
i still have faith in god but let's say if i would like to do a research on atheism, where should i start?
