  i have decided to join this forum after quite a long time lurking here (a number of years actually).. i have been out of the truth for a while and recently started to attend some meetings.

  but i now think a bit more freely and wonder whether i am doing the right thing.

  a cousin of mine regularly posts on here, didgeridoo in fact i have seen him today, speaking to him has made me decide to finally post on here, although i have my reservations whether i am doing the right thing.

  Can somebody tell me what the avatar is showing?

  I have changed it but its gone back to the original wind surf picture on my pc again. I don't know whether it's just on mine or on public view.

  I have just realised i better change that avatar, oops. You can't make me out so i thought it would be safe, but i forgot that i have emailed that pic to one or two. Can someone tell me if it's changed because it hasn't on my profile.

  Thanks for the welcomes, didn't realise i would get so many so fast.

  Changeling, I'm not really from Iceland, i'm from England. But weather is that miserable over here i might as well be. Plus my nan is Icelandic, so i wear the colour with pride.

  I see the 1975 and generation issues. Personally i would say they are mistakes they have made, rather than lies.

  Thanks Void Eater

  I have considered going to other religious meetings, but i don't feel right with that. I do want a connection with God.

  Thanks for your welcome guys.

  Megs, good question. When i say for a number of years, it has only been from time to time i haven't looked in depth at many of the issues.

  I don't necessarily believe the WT has lied. Yes i have seen the mistakes they have made, but it doesn't mean that they have lied to us. I have doubts about going back because sometimes i hear things from the platform that don't sit well with me. But as a whole i do agree with what the organisation is doing.

  One of the doubts i have for instance is whether Jesus is God or the Son of God. In the bible there are instances where the NWT has been changed, for instance in Colossians where Jesus is described as creating (other) things, the word other has been added. Jesus also said no one comes to the Father except through me, so do i need an organisation to have Jehovah in my life. But this said i can see the spirit working through the society and there are many things that the society does that is good. I feel i have made a connection to Jehovah by going back to meetings, but i don't know whether i can make this connection on my own.

  Hello everyone

  I have decided to join this forum after quite a long time lurking here (a number of years actually).

  I have been out of the truth for a while and recently started to attend some meetings. But i now think a bit more freely and wonder whether i am doing the right thing. A cousin of mine regularly posts on here, didgeridoo in fact i have seen him today, speaking to him has made me decide to finally post on here, although i have my reservations whether i am doing the right thing. We have always been close so I have spoken to him and as well as one or two friends about my feelings which i intend to write about on here at some point. I want to look at it from both sides of the coin so to speak.

  So i just want to say hello and may well join in on a few of the threads from time to time.
