I Just Talked To An Old JW Friend About The Dumbness of The Organization
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
he came by my work and we talked.

he pretty much became irregular (as a publisher), moved away and recently moved back into the area.

he's now a ms again and he's bemoaning his lot in life and sees a lot of stupidity within the "truth".

Breaking free and closure...

i have only been posting on this site for a short time, and haven't completely decided how i feel about it.

i have found it interesting to say the least, and have learned a lot from members such as andersonsinfo and others.

i have felt compassion for many who have posted here, have felt out of the loop by many others who have formed tight "friendships" with each other here, have been shocked by some users, have been inspired by others ... you get the idea... i have had a full spectrum of thoughts more or less.. however.... the one feeling i get the most is it reminds me of divorce, or when you split off from someone who mattered to you and you can't seem to let go.

My Bad Apostate Ass Scared Them Off!

this morning - a wonderful sunny spring day - grandmunchkin #3, wifey and i went 'garage sailing'.

we encountered a nice little sale, that happened to be at the house of someone we have come to know from an uptown art business in our little town.. as we snooped, and shared a little polite conversation with the owner, lo and behold - up walk two of my former good friends - marsha and sally, both dyed-in-the-wool witnesses.

marsha is partly my fault - i started the bible study with her husband that ended them up as the religious fanatics they have become.

Worshipping Jehovah without all the rules?
by ptucker8357 in

2. friends
hi again.... i've been searching around for a few days now trying to understand whether or not there are spiritual folks out there who believe some of the fundamental tenents of the witness religion, but don't believe in all the rules that the gb puts forth... many of the folks that i talk to tell me that the only way to salvation is through acceptance of jesus as god.

i do accept jesus as the messiah, as a perfect man that god sent to atone for the sins of adam, but i don't believe he is god.... i believe there is one god, one son and one holy spirit and they are not three persons in one god... i feel weird whenever i go to another service that exalts the trinity, as well as some other basic rituals of their religion.... am i making sense?.

i need to get ideas on how to get my family members to "stumble" on to this site.

i would get tremendous resistance for just recommending it honestly.

there are so many logical wake up stories here.

Our Bible is the "best".............
by Hobo Ken in

2. friends
i've heard this said so many times.

just why do jws think the new world translation is sooooo good?.

is it because they are proud that their religion has the resources to produce a whole new translation?.
