Those raised as JWs-Do you recall the path of doubts that led you to leave?
by ithinkisee ini posted a similar topic a year and a half ago.
i thought with all the new people it would be interesting to ask it again.
so i began to research ... and here i am.

Oh wow. Thanks Lillith! That looks like its user friendly.
Homeschool you are doing so well, you have taken on a huge and emotionally draining task and I really admire your courage and strenght.Thanks, girl. Emotionally draining...story of my life. In fact, its the story of most of our lives on here I'm sure. We've got to remember: Our JW families are not dead yet (maybe they act like it, but they're not dead yet). Its not too late to try.

TRUST me, if I didn't have anybody "in", I wouldnt attempt either. The fact that I haven't been told that I'm argumentative since the 1st study session is a huge deal....just gotta roll with it.
I'm already almost done with Steven Hassan's RELEASING THE BONDS. I would highly recommend folks read it, but read COMBATTING CULT MIND CONTROL first. Both are very helpful...I think

Hey, any help/constructive criticism you have to offer is very welcome . I will definitely check out that link. At this point, I dont want to take away my family's hope for the future or show them the Bible isn't true. I don't want to show that there are other true religions out there (there's not, in my opinion). What I DO want to show is that the WTB$ is not true.
Dark...woweeWoW. Our discussion of Jah's name is certainly not over. Its in my lil notebook of things to bring up again, and your point is quite valid.

Why thank you, OnthewayOut. I'm keeping my hopes low though (to increase my patience level ). For so long, I just accepted that's how my family is...then one day I thought "heck NO thats not how it has to be!"
I just received Releasing the Bonds in the mail. Unfortunately, our dummy mailman stuck it in a place OTHER than the mailbox & its soaking wet cover to cover. Just as soon as its dry, i'm gonna read it

.......and you are so positive about her talking about jack barr being there.....so....enlighten us....what assembly?.....should be easy to find out....ask her
When did I say I was positive? I was telling what was told to me. And, no, I'm not going to ask....I don't care enough. I have nothing to do with Washington or Baphomet...so quit going around in circles. Go have another one.
I'm sorry to see you're still not out of your angry stage http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/131073/1/I-am-getting-to-the-angry-staged
, but I have nothing to do with it. Pick on someone else....you must be SUCH a pleasure to live with.

...insearch...probably because that would be like porn in a jw's hands...to have literature with paintings of naked paradisians , even if there were little leaves or trees conveniently blocking the no-no special places.

...as a sidenote, I went walking with my sister today. She mentioned the vegetarian topic to her husband, who reiterated that its "a personal choice" if people want to eat meat or not. I told her I googled Seventh Day Adventists last night & found a page describing why they are vegetarians. Basically, they dont consume anything that doesnt glorify god: meat, caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar. The 7th Day website quoted many scriptures backing up their beliefs.
*** Keep in mind, I don't even believe the Bible is the truth at this point in life. The reason that I'M a vegetarian has nothing to do with the beliefs discussed.
She mentioned how, after the flood, god allowed people to eat meat. "why do you suppose that is, Homeschool?" "I responded, 'well, if there was a worldwide flood, then maybe food was scarce'
"Exactly" she said.
I asked, "But food was scarce. We havent had a flood like that since then. If god only allowed it at the time because there was no other food, but his intentions were for Adam & Eve to be vegetarians & his plans for the paradise wont include eating meat....shouldnt christians strive to not eat meat?"
She agreed....or at least apperaed to agree.
