i'm not sure if i believe in the bible as god's word anymore.
while some things are very clear in there much isn't.
curious how you understand pauls words in 1cor that adulterers and men who lies with men shall not inherit gods kingdom?

hi all, it's been a while, for most part i'm happy but.
i finally had to send a "i don't want to be a jw anylonger" to the elders, since they were very anxious to talk to me, which i've refused so now my only sister who's still a jw with husband at bethel, told me she won't call or see me anymore.
i've been crying all day.
Dear All,
Thank you for your comforting words. That means a lot. You are true friends indeed.
Love
Christine
i have been lurking on this site for nearly a year now and finally feel comfortable enough to begin posting.
so i thought a little introduction would be appropriate.
my whole family, except for my two sisters, are jw's.
Dear you
I'm so happy for you. You've done the right thing!! You'll enjoy your freedom more and more. I recognize myself in your story. Pls tell us more.
Love
Newborn

I've been crying all day. I know that many of you know the feeling. It's so absurd the whole thing!!! But my sister is still under that system and while in Bethel needs to be very careful of course. What a divious rule and to claim it's biblical and God's will??!!! It never seizes to amaze me how a few men are able to blind so many and split families like that and that I was like that too for many years. I'm free but looses my sister.
Happy holidays to all of you! (feels great to be able to say that without feeling guilty)

what's your take on the spirit realm?
are there angels, demons, ghosts?
how do you otherwise explain those who for a fact are demonpossessed, scourged, woodoo, mediums, people who experience things moving and sounding in there homes etc.. a missonary in kenya once told me she studied with a demonpossessed woman and that the sister herself spoke with the demon and told him/her to leave and said jehovahs name.

How to explain this?
Thanks for your comments.

...when he said "the one that has endured to the end will be saved"?.
thanks for your thoughts.. /newborn.

Dear All,
Thank you for your interesting comments...not that I feel it made me any wiser........it's so frutstrating not knowing or not being sure of anything anymore. Does God exist? Did Jesus exist? What's really the bible? What's the purpose with everything? What happens when we die? etc etc. Are we coming from the monkeys anyway??
If I miss anything from being a witness, it would be the feeling of knowing. I guess, I just have to come to terms with the fact that no one knows the truth.
Thanks again

you've probably discussed this a lot already but i started to have serious doubts when they announced that matt 24:14 was fulfilled.
even though in 3 countries, i think, (like afghanistan..) it had not been preached in at all and billions of people elsewhere will never hear about jehovah.
again the answer is probably that jehovah will make the final judgment and he is all justice etc.

Again the answer is probably that Jehovah will make the final judgment and he is all justice etc. If so, why do some have to go to meetings, preach etc if it's not necessary for everyone. My God!!! There's no logic and it really makes no sense that all those people will perrish at Armageddon...how can all the JWs not realise this???
I guess the decision to go out with this was after a flipping coin at the GB weekly meeting, i.e. by chance and not everyone in agreement.
What's your thoughts? Thanks and take care of yourselfs.
