  New (non Witness) here

  by juci32 in

  hello guys!i am just introducing myself here.

  i have been visiting this site for about a year but never really posted much but i have really learned and enjoyed the topics on this forum, in fact i think this is the best discussion forum i have yet to come across .. a little about my situation is i am a non religious person married to a devout witness, when i met him 4 yrs ago he was out in the "world", never really mentioned his beliefs as we were enjoying life without it.

  the more we dated the more i realized that something wasn't right.

  Has the Watchtower ever admitted making a mistake?

  by moomanchu in

  with all their flip flops, errors and changes, do you know of any printed admission of mistakes made ?.

  have they ever apologized for wrong doctrine?.

  i think it's because of too much pride..

  Can i file a law suit against the WTS?

  by God_Delusion in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i had a brief chat with my lawyer last week and discussed religion as i always do with him (he's an atheist).

  he asked how the jw's were doing and so i told him that i no longer go and that i to am an athiest (well, not entirely an atheist as i do believe that there may be some other forces out there somewhere and will believe that until it has been proved otherwise).

  he was very pleased to hear this.. anyway, i asked him if it would be possible to file a law suit against the wts?.

  How many here actually still believe that there is a God??

  by annalice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after being gone from the jw's for many years now , and having done extensive research on the history of god and the belief in him , i can't seem to find any logical way to have a belief in an invisble being up there ruling over us.

  how many here still believe?

  how many don't?.

  Why I'm Happy Ted Jaracz {governing body} is dying! Comments?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  he was responsible for the child abuse mess and voted on the blood, organ transplant, nuetrality issues which killed many faithful witnesses and left others with serious mental problems.

  he was from all accounts rude, arrogant and i believe he would have sacrificed witness children an an altar if he thought it would help the "mother" organisation as he called it.

  he is the ultimate brainwashed freak who would step on brothers knecks just to make sure things are "theocratic.
