  How did you feel about attending another church?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this question is for those who have attended another church since leaving the jw's.. i have considered attending a local church, firstly out of curiosity and secondly because i do enjoy discussing the bible with people and learning new thoughts on scripture.. the only thing that stops me though is crossing that line.

  i guess it was a bit like when i first posted here, it took me ages to pluck up the courage and now what was the big deal?.

  did anyone else have this feeling before attending another church, that feeling of crossing the line of no return.

  While reading the experiences of those that posted here I noticed that they were for the most part positive and enjoyable unlike what we were led to expect by the WT.

  I'd like to point out another WT lie The truth is not about doctrine. It's not a body of doctrine .Jesus said he was the truth. Peter did not say what religion' but whom shall we go away to, you Jesus, have sayings of eternal life. As christians say " its all about Jesus" On this point christian are united regardless of their doctrinal beliefs.

  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..

  Osama Bin Laden is Not a Wanted Man

  by sammielee24 in

  there is a 2008 documentary out with investigative reporting done on 9/11.

  apparently when asked why bin laden's name is not on the list of people charged with the incident - the response has been 'not enough evidence to link him to the attacks'.

  couple this with susan lindauer and her information (that she got locked in prison for trying to reveal) and there are still too many questions that remain unaswered.

  Not a wanted man

  Years ago the fruitless hunt for Osama Bin Laden was the source of many jokes. I could not understnd why with all the resources available they could not find him Maybe the reason is he was not wanted in the first place. Makes sense

  Love your work Gary For my part faith in God and faith in the WT were not one and the same.

  PS Thanks for the offer re the oceanfront property in Arizona but No thanks I'm not a JW anymore.

  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 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  isn'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?

  while 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....

  ....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
