Sure the WT deceived you with its claim to be God's channel but why for so many is there a subsequent loss of faith in God ? It puzzles me and makes me wonder why they were JW's in the first place.

Almighty said N-kiki, you've come to ask a question like this on the biggest anti-jws/ apostate web site there is on the net,
you truly are a nut case of sorts? sad case?
Almighty No one is talking to her in JW land. On this site we will listen to her, understand how she feels and most of us will give her sound advice and not call her names

Passover/Memorial
by Inkie inisn't it interesting that the memorial (which is pretty much a passover event) is not done in one's private home just as the passover was/is done in private homes among ancient and modern israel.
israel didn't gather together in some huge synagogue or even at the temple--they gathered in private homes.
maybe jesus' gathering his disciples together in the upper chamber could be used by the society as the reason they too gather in kingdom halls and various auditoriums as they do.

After I was DF I was there with my family The Elders made a point of not letting me handle the emblems They took it off my 11year old son beside me and handed it to my wife who was also sitting next to me. My son said "It really is a passover Dad, it passed right over you." Love that boy Now 26 and a phsychologist.

Which of the Society's presidents did you like the least?
by donny inwhile i was a witness, i never liked or cared for j.f.
rutherford.
even with the society's whitewashing and trying to make him look like one who was part of the seven trumpet blasts in revelation, i could not stand the guy.

Rutherford with his other class doctrine which denied them the gift of eternal life and made them slaves of him and his cronies the so called annointed.

Just want to say thanks to all of the fair, thought-provoking, and balanced posters here--this board has been a huge help to me....
by Alpaca in....but there are a few who insist on just being plain nasty for no reason.. so, i am leaving for a while to concentrate on other stuff that i need to do.
right now, it is a degree of negativity that i just don't need in my life.
if you cannot post about even a benign subject without getting vicious comments it is time for a break.

Alpaca I've read your profile and we have many things in common. Have you ever considered that being nasty for no reason may be an expression of hurt bitterness anger or even jealously.There are many roads to complete recovery from this abusive religion. Some lash out at others like wounded animals We can cut the WT tree down yet the roots are still there. You want to leave have a rest I respect that I found it necessary at times to free my mind to think about something anything but these poisonous roots tugging at my heart and mind. That's your choice. But you also have another choice when it comes to being affected by negative nasty people. I say this in all humility for I know I am on very slippery ground offering advice when it has not been sought. Alpaca you don't have to let them ruin your day,chase you away and stop you from enjoying all the positive experiences you have had on this board. You have a choice. Hope to get to know you one day. All the Best Bob

Where else will you go?
by wary inthe po comes to see me and talks round the houses trying to find out what my problem is.. so i tell him "look its something i have to sort out for myself and i dont want to destroy your faith and make you start questioning so id rather not tell you".
he already knew cos the first elder went to his house the second he left mine and told him about [what i thought was a private conversation between mates,] my issues.. so he proceeds to tell me a story of a brother he knows who was always very studious and knowledgable about all prophecies and the details of our beliefs.. well the guy suddenly stopped attending meetings last year, dont know why but the po seemed pretty upset about it as he was an old friend.. so he says " i said to him, but john, where will you go now on sunday afternoons,!
and really wary where else will you go?".

I rarely take myself too seriously Ninga Scotland Heh When I visited my outlaws in Scotland Many of the locals I met would say to me Your Australian arn't you Why are you here? and I would say "I made the mistake of marrying a Scot." Every last one of them would reply "Thats noooooooo mistake laddie". I loved it that emphatic drawn out no They had a great sense of humour My ex would beam with pleasure these were her kin sticking up for her. They're nay too fond of the English though ,but thats another story

Geez I'm a newbe and it seems like nobody is listening I pointed out that it was a false dilemma before BizzyBee did: then Ten years and Parakeet expanded on it. I don't expect to be greeted like a long lost friend and love bombed like I would be if I went to the K Hall for the first time. Thats not real, but I would like to play with you. I'm the kid standing there on the sidelines with his own bat and ball

If we didn't accept the WT woldview in the first place we would not be asking ourselves this question A false dilemna The WT has used that hook for over a centurywhile everyone else was enjoying and living their lives. Where is the pub? I'll be in that.
